Also, over here, any Doctor can prescribe any drug. My wife has been prescribed opioids by the Gp (which actually made her worse - possible due to their activation of nmda receptors).

Also, her orthopedist, the one that diagnosed her, prescribed her alendronate after we showed them about 3 different pubmed studies on the effect of alendronatic acid on crps/rsd. He had never prescribed alendronate before becuase it's not his area.

I'm not sure how different it works in the UK, but if I were in your situation, I'd ask around for a Doctor known to be a specialist in Crps/rsd and known to prescribe the drugs you need and I'll make a private appointment with him.

Here, we even have a more expensive private doctor that charges about 120 euros for an appointment and will prescribe you LDN without a problem.

Thanks to that my wife will be starting LDN soon.

Also, for Sleep, you may won't to try high dose tryptophan (an aminoacid) and melatonin.
