Arachnoiditis: Trying to find a specialist

Has anybody in this group had personal experience with Dr. Forest Tenant’s protocols for treating Arachnoiditis?
I tried to get to see him some years ago but learned that he had retired from practice, though not from research and writing after his home and office were raided by the DEA at gunpoint.

They apparently decided that he was over proscribing opioids for his patients and was therefore probably an illicit drug dealer. Well duh he was running a pain clinic that was known worldwide for treating AA.

I learned about his protocols from his many excellent and readable books and articles but have not yet found or convinced any physician to wrk with me on the parts his protocols that require prescription medication and supervision of the side effects of those medications.

I was able to convince my pain mgt to prescribe Indomethician and LDN both part of his protocol. I now get K- Infusions & I have a Dr who will occasion give me a toradol injection. This is as close as I’ve come to getting Drs on/board. And oh an occasional Medrol dose pack for flares.
