I was so mad...I will ask my PM Doc on Monday what he thinks. Wanted to share this with you and others that use this med.
I'm reallly getting tired of this pain and these damn doctors!!  |
Your neurologist is a jerk. Pradeep Chopra is a well known pain managment doctor who has success treating CRPS patients with LDN and gabapentin. I can tell you that on other LDN message boards, it does take the edge off neuropathic pain for some.
Will it revolutionize your life and cure your pain? Probably not. Might it take the edge off your pain and give you more quality of life? Maybe! It cheap and it has such a low side effect profile that it surely can't hurt to try it out for 6 months.
