CRSPbe,
It may be too late for you, but I have no way of knowing this, but I do know it is not too late for others. LDN may or may not work, but it is worth a shot. It helps more than 80% of those who use it.
What Others Are Saying About LDN
I think these odds are pretty good, but I have never once said that it will help everyone.
Feeling as you do, may I ask why you bothered to post on an "LDN help" thread posted by a new member who asked for advice about it?
In retrospect I think I am lucky that doctors did very little for me, because I had to help myself. I was also lucky to have a supportive husband and encouragement here. My view is I will preach to whoever will listen, because if I help just one person my pain journey will have meaning.
