hi there,
I am a fellow CFS sufferer since about 2011ish. I am able to hold a job but i occasionally sleep in my car during work hours and pass out in my bed immediately after i go home. My symptoms have gotten much worse lately and I had been counting the days until I have to quit my job. For me the brain fog is just horrific and sometimes i find it hard to think.
Anyhoo, recently I decided to get a ketamine injection. The dose was 0.5mg/kg and the whole thing was pretty awesome! I felt at one with the bed i was laying on and felt pretty good overall.
Since then I feel like I have been lifted out of the mental fog, I didnt have to sleep in my car and I have been feeling like my old self!
I tried the ketamine injection for depression and nerve pain ( i have trigeminal neuralgia in addition to CFS). The injection did nothing for my nerve pain, but really helped with depression and the fatigue. I will try to add some updates as time goes on.
ps there are a few other ketamine threads on the forum.
ps I am not saying this is for everyone, obviously it may not even be for me. It has only been two days and so the effect is likely to wear off. In fact the responses to ketamine are highly variable, some could have very unpleasant experiences and bad side effects. In addition, there is no scientific reason why ketamine should help CFS. Also this is a highly controlled substance and so i am also not advocating for anyone to use this chemical which has a high potential for abuse. Just sharing my personal experience
