Next Treatment

Trav's next treatment is set for July 11-15, 2011.  It will be another week long stay in Salt Lake City and the U of U Pain Clinic.  This time he will be receiving a IV treatment daily of ketamine.  Ketamine is a drug used to put people under for surgery.  in lower doeses it can help reset CRPS patients nerves and have pain controlling effects.  We will be at the clinic for 5-6 hours daily while he is monitored with the treatment.  Hope this is the one to do the trick and get him some relief.  I have read a lot of good things about it and very little bad.  The worst I have read is he can have hallucinations while on it.  Also it has a 20 % chance of doing nothing to help.  So I will keep everyone updated as it gets closer.
