Is It Normal To Experience Severe Pain And Headaches After Ketamine Treatment For Fibromyalgia And CRPS?

Hi, I have a question regarding Ketamine treatment that my 19 year old daughter received this last week for her Fibromyalgia and CRPS. We went to a clinic where they do Ketamine infusions for pain. She received 1100 mg of Ketamine over the course of 3 days and after her treatment her level of pain was far, far worse than it has been in years. She is suffering from debilitating body wide pain. Worst of all is her headache, it’s worse than a migraine! The clinic told us that this pain flair was the Nor-Ketamine and we needed to give it time to wear off. I don’t know what to do to help her find relief from this pain treatment that went horribly wrong.
