Ralph, thinking back to the days when I tried LDN, I had ONE great day and never again. And then the bad day of constipation so I never went higher than .5mg...the yahoo LDN group kept pushing me to stick with it, stick with it and I did but it didn't help me from hip mess. Some people can do well I understand. I remember the optimal goal is 4.5mg dose...I NEVER got near there. That was back in 2009.
I swear by grape seed extract and a friend is off all meds after 15 yrs of neuropathy and being on grape seed ex...she's doing good. Statins were her downfall.

The nerve damage I deal with is from hip replacement damage. I've gotten rid of burn but my whole thigh is numb 5 yrs post op. What I took for 3 months for my issue is Inosine and Sphingolin. I've talked about it here. Good luck and hope your mom can work with LDN.
