How Special is your K?

I see my GP every 4 weeks and he handles my MS Contin. I see the migraine specialist every 3-5 weeks, and he handles, well, all the other migraine drugs. With those frequent appointments it's easy to lose sight of a big plan, but I finally remembered to ask the specialist where exactly he was headed.

Ketamine. Special K to the crazy kids. Horse tranqs. In some scenarios it's used to induce comas, but I'm rooting for that not being me. He wants to use that to break the cycle of headaches, and then find the right prophylactics, since we're currently rooting around blind.

Problem is, it's not an established procedure, and I'm not even sure ketamine's in use at UCLA Westwood. So he's wrangling with some Boston folks on my behalf.

It feels very slow. The pain's building up on a weekly cycle. I need to tough it out so that's not Thursday/Friday, but Saturday/Sunday. To make work easier. I mean, I'm here. I just want it to be easier.
