I have been taking LDN for nearly four months. I have a condition known as Parsonage Turner syndrome which causes severe nerve pain in both hands and my right forearm. I began with 0.5 mg of LDN and have slowly increased it to 2.5 mg. So far it hasn’t helped me. I plan to keep working my way up to at least 4.5 mg to see if I will find an effective dose. I make my own LDN from a 50 mg tablet so it is very inexpensive to use and it gives me flexibility when changing doses.

@patrick17 Thank you for sharing! It would be great if you would continue to check in every once in a while with an update on progress or no progress. My pain management was starting me at 1.5 but, my neurologist claimed he would jump me right to 4.5 for starters. I'm not too clear on starting at the highest does. Regardless, I have yet to try either but, always interested in others experiences. Perhaps once I'm off opiods I will try. Thanks again and good luck!

Hi Patrick, I am very interested in your progress as well. I'm also wondering how you manage to formulate .5mg doses from a 50 mg pill. Can you say a bit about your method? Thanks, Hank
