I’ve been doing Ketamine Infusions 2 days a month for the last 19 months. The results have allowed me to lower the opioid dose I take bc NSAIDs damage the liver so I had to stop taking them.

I went through a series of ketamine infusions about 2 years ago and then a few every few months, but it is very expensive, $6,000 for the first infusions. It helped lower pain so much that I could travel and do some hiking. I can no longer afford it. If anyone knows of way to get it paid for, please let me know. Insurance and Medicare do not cover it.
