CRPS is a monster of a disease to treat. Ketamine literally saved my life. Pain medication almost took my life! It was hell getting off of them & I will never go back. Medicare & insurance companies need to start paying for these life saving infusions. The suicide rates are sky rocketing, we have an life saving treatment yet they won’t pay.
Linda supported: Mandate Insurance Coverage for Ketamine Treatment in Chronic Pain, CRPS and Mental HealthPlease help bring awareness to this rare and debilitating disease Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
Alana supported: Mandate Insurance Coverage for Ketamine Treatment in Chronic Pain, CRPS and Mental HealthI am a proud Mom of a beautiful,talented, loving grown daughter. And I am sooo blessed that I can enjoy life with her. I was very close to losing her, a outcome I could not have lived through. Depression and anxiety has robbed her of so many years. She had difficulty in school and working. As a parent you are willing to do anything to save her. I don't think there is a medication we didn't try. Not to mention the number of therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist and Hospitalizations. My daughter was the one that discovered the research on Ketamine. I saw an interview about a Veteran who had benefited so much. We found a place but after many appeals, insurance would not cover the 500.00 per treatment. So I needed to go into my retirement savings. Best decision I ever made. She has had 3 years of life she is so deserving of. And I have my daughter back. She's gone back to school, got married and has a great job. There is absolutely NO reason why this treatment can't be approved. I pray the people who have the power to save lives NEVER have to live through what we did. That said, the squeaky wheel of b bureaucracy needs to be oiled. There are so many beautiful souls that we lose everyday because we refuse to make this treatment available. Shame on them
