I found it can be hard to persuade a doctor to prescribe it too. Thankfully, my PCP has experience with it and eventually one of my dad’s physicians prescribed it.

That’s weird he said it’s “only” for pain though because my impression was that it’s primarily known for helping fatigue and inflammation, but both can improve pain. It’s her studied in people with RA and IBD.

This was the study I found (though limited) about LDN and IBD: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5845217/#:~:text=Around%2030%25%20of%20patients%20with,treatment%20option%20for%20these%20patients.

Maybe it’s what you read too.

There are some telemedicine physicians who prescribe it, but I’ve not tried any of these. I considered it briefly because I worried we wouldn’t be able to get it for my dad (he has a different inflammatory condition), but in the end I didn’t need to do that, thankfully. There are even some that allow you to choose your own pharmacy. I thought about that because I was concerned about profit and “pill mills.”
