ketamine yielding surprising results

It makes me loopy, but the Ketamine nasal spray is something of a miracle for me.

Saturday after lunch the hubby and I went outside to do some yard work and clean up the garage. I was apprehensive because heat and sun exposure are my most sure fire migraine triggers. It was about 90 degrees, which is usually far too hot for my body to tolerate.

I planted my flowers in the planters and pots I have outside and pulled some weeds while C organized the recycling and put some stuff up in the attic for storage.

And I didn't get a migraine. It has been at least five years since I did something physical outside without getting a migraine. I guess the trade off is worth it for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately I ran out of it yesterday and as soon as it was out of my system a nasty migraine set in.

Does the Ketamine spray leave an aftertaste in the back of throat? I had this effect trying to use Imitrex nasal spray.

gah, I'd kill for something to give me back an outdoor life! *runs off to do research*

This is great to hear, really is! It's good to have a doctor who would be open-minded enough to give a try to things like that...
How's the anxiety levels while taking ketamine?
