@patrick17 Thank you for sharing your experience with LDN. As it sits in my cabinet, I've never actually tried it. Twice now I've been so desperate for something else to help that I considered it, which is why I filled the prescription. Unfortunately, I don't believe that it will help me as I'm already on opiates and not coming off anytime soon. It's discouraging when you hope for something to work and it doesn't. However, the fact that you attempted says a lot and now you can check that one off the list. Perhaps going to 5 will do the trick but if it doesn't thank you so much for being someone who experimented and gave us results. I wish you the best going forward with whatever you find works for you. We must keep trying even when we get exhausted from doing so.
Best to you,
Rachel

@rwinney @patrick17 Hi Guys, we received an order from a pharmacy in NJ about 2 months ago and it too has been "just sitting" on a counter. Linda is a good candidate as she takes no opiates whatsoever. But on any given night she worries so much about getting to sleep that she is afraid it might affect it negatively. I believe her plan is to wait until the weather cools down to start it, as she feels she sleeps better when it's not hot out. I too want to express my thanks to you Patrick, for thinking to update us on your status. Sorry to hear it hasn't helped so far. Wishing for it to start to work at the 5mg dose. Best, Hank

@rwinney Hi Rachel, perhaps you can give LDN a shot sometime in the future. I’ve read that you can take LDN and an opiate as long as you space them apart, but personally I wouldn’t risk it. I sure wouldn’t want to be sent into withdrawal.
Like you, I have tried many therapies and medications for my pain, but not too much has helped. I get the most relief from wearing compression gloves. Without them my pain is much worse. I’ve not really heard that from others with hand pain so I’m not sure why they help me so much. At least the gloves are inexpensive and you don’t have to swallow them like a pill 🙂
All the best to you, also!
Patrick
