Hi Erin,

My mother (who also has MS) is constantly knitting and crocheting and ended up with carpal tunnel surgery several years ago because of numbness in her hands along with pain up her arm. That fixed that, but for the last couple of years she's had burning pain up her arm. She tried gabapentin, Lyrica and something else with very little relief. A month ago she started on LDN and it's helped more than any of the other meds her GP had her try.

I think you should push your GP for LDN or find someone else who will prescribe it. Even if it does nothing for you, it can't hurt anything. Can you believe my mom's GP in a little town not only knew all about it but prescribed it the first time she asked?! My own GP made me give him a bunch of info first.
