Your question about Peptide therapy caught my attention. I have been seeing it mentioned a few times lately as an emerging therapy for both arthritis and pain, and it sounds extremely promising.
From what I can see, there are MANY peptides, and just a few have been isolated, tested and effective. But of course the supplement market has jumped in with all sorts of peptide products, some oral, some injectable. The miracle cure "clinics" have also jumped into the game, with ads, memberships and Web sites. Remember that this is not the Peptide Therapy being discussed in medical journals.
If you are interested in Peptide therapy for specific types of pain, be sure to discuss it with your current doc and get referred to an appropriate provider, like a pain clinic.
Have you asked your provider about Peptide therapy, or has it been suggested to you?

I use ketamine troches. They are little wax cubes that dissolve under your tongue. Each one is 100mg and I’m supposed to take them 4X/day. So 400mg total/day. I usually end up taking them all just before bed, because I don’t enjoy spending my day high as a kite. I take them at night and drift off to sleep. I’ve never heard of peptide injections. I do know that most people with my diagnosis benefit from IV ketamine infusions, but this is the best I could do with my insurance. It’s not covered, but it’s $200/month vs. thousands. I’m sorry you had no luck with LDN. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
