Have you ever felt like you are a pair of lungs? Not that you have a pair of lungs but that you are lungs, floating in outer space, stretching and shrinking with each new breath of air? No? That’s really too bad. It’s extremely fascinating, being a single human organ, but also impossible to describe.
I drove a friend to Ketamine treatments, six between Thanksgiving & Christmas 2022, and then once a month for a year. They were trying it for major depressive disorder. It did help some. I hope the pain relief you experienced has lasted. I want my friend to go back, but it is sadly very cost prohibitive on disability. Cost should never be a barrier to relief from suffering. Yet here we all are.
It has not lasted for me, but alas, too expensive to go back often! I think we are close to ketamine being covered by Medicare, at least for depression. Or at least I hope so. There are many studies on its efficacy. Meanwhile, I just last week was begging UCSF to even let me pay out of pocket for ketamine. 🙄
Sending you a big {{HUG}} and good vibes for healing. YES. It would be incredible if Medicare would cover Ketamine for depression. And pain relief too would be life-changing for so many. Here's hoping!
