> Thanks Phil and rj for your posts. You've kind of echoed what I feel in my heart, that it wouldn't make any difference and it would waste a whole lotta money. Don't know if I mentioned this before, but in an email I told my Mom that if I were to spend a kaboodle of money I'd prefer to pay it on getting Ketamine injections. She's pretty unhappy I'm turning her offer down, and all she wrote back to me was, 'remember Ketamine is a habit-forming drug' um, I'm already on one of those Mom. And that's what dreaded holidays are for. I actually invited her to visit babble to get a better idea of what goes on with people with trd. I thought if she was better educated maybe it would help her understand me better. I doubt she'll visit, I'll just be in the doghouse (again)
> KatI don't know enough about the Mayo Clinic to be able to comment on it. If you live close to Rochester, MN, why not?
I once placed my faith in the NIH that they would be able to cure me if I were to enter their program as a research patient. They failed. You never know where your healing will come from, though. I think the programs at Massachusetts General Hospital and Johns Hopkins are among the better ones. Also worth mentioning are Columbia Presbyterian and Stanford. Maybe Emory.
