Hello everyone-I’ve always been impressed by the breadth of knowledge exhibited in these pages. I wanted to ask if anyone has any information on the successful treatmnet of RSD/CRPS with a Ketamine-Midazolam treatment. RSD/CRPS is a debilitating chronic pain disease that is destroying my beautiful 24 yr old wife as well as an estimated 1.5-6 million Americans alone! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
