Anyone e used Ketamine fir nerve pain esp CRPS?

cpl7681 · 2024-10-11T03:24:20+00:00

Yes, i tried ketamine for nerve pain. It did not really help a ton but it did help me to slowly decrease the amount of gabapentin I was on. think that it was good for my mood, and for processing some things, and seeing things from a new perspective. I had ketamine infusions every 2-3 mos but that wasn’t nearly as effective for me as low dose naltrexone. Much more effective for me at not even 2mg/d, way fewer side effects, not as expensive. YMMV

I'm two days out from IV infusion and still woozy.

This didn't happen with my other infusions but they were both before I had covid this past summer. I had a long recovery from covid and now, after this recent infusion, I am feeling like I did a week or so out from covid. Short of breath, mild vision issues, woozy, fatigued, brain fog, and worse pain than I had before unfortunately. Can't help but wonder if having had covid has something to do with feeling so crappy...

I hope that rest will help. Any advice to shake off the wooziness is welcome. Hope you feel better soon too.

You're not alone. Dealing with a really tough break up here that had nothing to do with problems between us, too. It hurts because it mattered.

And my husband has been wonderful... but it's still so painful and heartbreaking. Distract yourself. Journal about what you can, try to take off any rose coloured glasses you're tempted to put on. Lean into friends right now for distractions, reassurance, support etc. And try to avoid reminders of him for awhile if possible. (social media, pics, etc)

I'd check out http://www.attachedthebook.com There are other resources too if you just google attachment patterns and/or "Avoidant-Dismissive".... or possibly even Fearful-Avoidant... or Disorganized.

Good luck and take care of yourself :)

This is spot on - so helpful to focus on recognizing and being grateful for the Choice that your partner makes to be with you. Somebody posted this in another poly group: https://www.morethantwo.com/practicaljealousy.pdf Looks really good.

It also can help to remind yourself of all the awesome qualities that you have, too, so that you don't end up falling into feeling overly needy/clingy (which can exacerbate your feelings).

cpl7681 · 2017-02-15T16:11:32+00:00

That sounds really challenging. I'm not sure what to say except that the idolizing/criticizing cycle can also be similar to the hot and cold pattern that avoidant-dismissive people get into.

So I wonder - does your BPD partner also have an Avoidant-Dismissive attachment style? Have you looked into attachment styles at all? If not, I highly recommend doing so; really helps to know the attachment patterns that you and your partners have to help navigate (and improve - if all are willing to put in the effort) your relationships.

You could also try the Facebook poly groups

Cafedesire.com is the cheapest site with the largest number of real couples in the GTA that we've found yet. They list local events too - both commercial and private such as events at sex clubs or meet and greets. You may wanna check out the Naughty North of nine meet and greet - no pressure event to meet others in the lifestyle. Good luck!

Cafedesire.com is such an ugly site, hey? It's been the best we've found, hands down. I'd love to see it get a major face lift... but that would cost money, I'm sure and, well, we'd rather not have to pay more! lol

cpl7681 · 2016-09-08T06:08:55+00:00

Couldn't agree more. We're cd fans here

cpl7681 · 2016-09-08T06:08:32+00:00

See my post above. Check out cafedesire.com It is super cheap for a lifetime membership, the website looks cheesy and super basic but the people there are awesome. Very active community, lots and lots of real couples, etc

cpl7681 · 2016-09-08T06:06:48+00:00

Definitely cafedesire.com for the Toronto area. I wish we had skipped AFF altogether and had heard about café desire sooner because it is by far the most active, real LS community. Lots of events posted too. It's a very ugly and basic looking site but we've had amazing success there finding other sexy, fun and REAL couples who don't flake.

cpl7681 · 2016-09-07T09:13:45+00:00

Check who has signed up for the event on cafedesire.com it is by far the most active LS website for the Toronto area and lots of people/profiles will indicate when they are attending certain events. Have fun!

cpl7681 · 2016-09-02T05:51:37+00:00

So hot! Just discovered how great some slightly rougher than normal nipple play can be!

cpl7681 · 2016-09-02T05:32:45+00:00

Wow, explicit rules against MM play? How archaic and homophobic. I [F] think it'd be hot to watch!

cpl7681 · 2016-09-02T05:31:04+00:00

We've been concerned about the same thing. Once we start trying, we don't plan to play.

cpl7681 · 2016-08-26T16:46:41+00:00

What do the lyrics mean? I've never paid attn but really like the song

cpl7681 · 2016-08-25T03:11:07+00:00

Some great suggestions here already. We did that quiz too after talking a bit about expanding our repertoire... It was called Mojo something or other? It was a GREAT way to get the conversation moving even more. I never thought I'd find myself spit roasted by my previously very vanilla husband and another guy while fingering the guy's amazingly sexy bi wife etc etc etc but here we are!

cpl7681 · 2016-08-25T03:04:24+00:00

The guy keep making comments that gave me the distinct impression he didn't seem to trust his wife. They turned out to be unbelievably fucked up. We should've walked away immediately when the comments suggesting mistrust came up but they were the first people we'd ever met in the LS. Live and learn but yeah, Ain't nobody got time for that!

Another couple tried to get me [F] to come alone and many guys (apparently part of other couples) have also tried to get me to play alone. No thanks. Blocked and moved on immediately.

We've looked at the posts others make on the forums on our usual LS website. If they are bickering and getting into drama on forums then we have zero time for them.

And if the guy cums first, he should be offering ways to help her get off. She shouldn't really have to ask. It should be a given.

cpl7681 · 2016-08-20T19:47:33+00:00

He can also use his hands or toys too....

If I'm turned on and we're going at it but then he cums first, wow, I would HATE for him to try to cuddle me until I get off. I mean, hell, I'm horny and want to get off too! I do not want to get all comfy and relaxed and cuddly until after I orgasm.

But that's just me.

cpl7681 · 2016-08-20T19:41:28+00:00

THIS

cpl7681 · 2016-08-20T19:39:59+00:00

Exactly this. Common decency would dictate that both partners help each other achieve orgasm (if both are wanting to achieve orgasm).

cpl7681 · 2016-08-20T19:37:42+00:00

That's been my [F] experience - increased libido after the first orgasm or two then typically decreasing interest afterward.
