Hi @notgivingup17, I'm sorry to hear that the doctor's seem to be giving up on helping you. I've been on the Protocol 525 since 2016 when we ordered the individual supplements before it became the 525. The reason it's called the 525 is that we used to take 20+ pills/capsules daily and it's now 5 in the morning, 2 at noon, 5 in the evening for 525.

From your description it sounds like nerve compression in your spine is possibly causing some of your symptoms. There is a discussion started by @jenniferhunter which you might find helpful - Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/

There are several discussions on LDN that you might want to read through:

Sometimes it can be overwhelming if you focus on the pain and what tomorrow will be like. What helps me is taking each day one at a time and focusing on positive thoughts to keep me in a good frame of mind.
