Anyone not able to get 24 hr pain relief from Prednisone?

LDN by itself may not knock down a 6-7 pain level but it might allow you to use less prednisone. Kevzara may be a better option in the long run if you're trying to eliminate prednisone. If you look up LDN you will see that it requires a compounding pharmacy and is off label so not covered by insurance. It's relatively cheap, costing me $110 for 90 days at a local compounding pharmacy. You can find it for less online.

@kjoed53 - we do have a compounding pharmacy nearby. Cost seems reasonable for that.
Do some people eve do a regimen of prednisone, Kevzara and LDN? Seems like the LDN would come into play in allowing sleep if Pred needs to be taken at higher doses in evening for getting the pain down to functional level. I can handle a lot more in life if I can get some sleep. And Kevlar takes awhile to kick in (as I've been reading). Seeing doc tomorrow - want to ask about all of this.
