Hi jurgen

I haven't done too much searching for anyone on NT who takes LDN specifically for chemo induced PN but madisongrrl, who has Lyme disease with PN symptoms, is taking it. Here's links to a couple of her threads. If you search 'naltrexone' you may find more.

I've been researching it for possible use with autoimmune related PN for myself. I'm going to be requesting approval from my endocrinologist soon to try it. I would suggest doing as much research as you can to see if it might be relevant to your particular situation. Be aware there is a lot of hype on the net as well as factual information.

It's not a miracle drug but for those of us who are unable to take any sort opiates it may be an option. From what I've read it can provide about 20-30% pain reduction. Not a lot for sure but better than nothing - and it's not addictive and has few side effects. .
