I just was prescribed 2.5 mg of LDN from my new functional medicine/Lyme doc. It is not covered by insurance and has to be compounded, but it was very reasonably priced - $33/month. I'll give an update after I get a few weeks under my belt.

Yes, please keep us posted. I'm nowhere near the point of needing something like that, but I'm trying to keep up on all the treatment options that are available - in case I do need them in the future. From what I've read, LDN seems to have the potential to be very beneficial yet with a fairly mild side effect profile. But there doesn't seem to be very many legitimate studies out there, and very few doctors seem willing to use it.

There are a few studies out there, but not many. This drug will never be extensively studied because no drug company would touch this with a 10 foot pole since there is no money to be made from it. Many cutting edge lyme, pain, and functional medicine docs have been seeing good clinical results from this drug. I think if there is any hint of your neuropathy being immuned-mediated, then this might be a good option as long as you are not taking narcotics.

Dr. Pradeep Chopra has had success treating his CRPS patients with LDN. Don't quote me but I think he said that it works for about 70% of his patients and he combines it with gabapentin. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3661907/

Thanks for that link, interesting article.

Why is this not prescribed more?
