Newly diagnosed to treatment

  Ketamine is one of the many treatments for CRPS.  These days, people are being diagnosed much more quickly than they were back in the 1990's.  The advantage of earlier diagnosis is that treatment can be started more quickly.  I couple of months ago, someone joined my Newly Diagnosed Facebook group.  She was diagnosed two weeks after symptoms started as compared to my 2 years after the onset of symptoms.

These doctors, who .in my opinion, are still a threat to the public, are still allowed to practice medicine. They lost their DEA certification and can't prescribe any controlled  substances.  These doctors took advantage of Matthew Perry's addiction issues.  They...
