@solobeee1 ~ I'm picking up a prescription for LDN on Monday. My PCP, who put me on Lyrica in 2023, thinks it might actually help the neuropathy in my feet. Unfortunately, can't take it just yet. I have to be off all NSAIDS because I'm getting my first epidural for spinal stenosis this Thursday morning. I'm praying it relieves the back and sciatic pain long enough for me to consult with a neurosurgeon. But as soon as I'm allowed, I'll give the LDN a try! Lyrica has been pretty helpful, but it's decreasing in effectiveness. What it does do is make me really sleepy at the wrong times, with brain fog and dry mouth. I've really heard nothing but good things about LDN. My dosage is a 1.5mg capsule. I have some numbness in my feet, but can't tell what's being caused by the neuropathy as opposed to my back issues with all of my nerves getting scrunched.

Since recovering from trigeminal neuralgia last year I learned that depending on diet, our nerves can loose insulation. The older we are, the faster this insulation loss. B12 makes nerve insulation. Stomach acid extracts B12 from animal protein. Older people have less acid so become deficient. Seniors eat less animal protein. Best to take B12 supplement.
METHYLCOBALAMIN.
No pain since. Alcohol reduces absorbtion because it dulls the billions of micro villi lining the small intestine.
