I tried LDN for arthritc issues and it helped the first day, then no more and I gave it 6 months as the people on the LDN group kept pushing me to stay with it. Huge constipation issues too.

On the hydrocodone, I took it a couple times in my life and could NOT wait to get off it..talk about side effects, omg, loss of appetite, fatigue, constipation. I find ibuprofen FOR ME does better than that other toxic drug. They are all toxic no matter what one thinks. And since using HGH homeopathic gel now into 8 months, I'm able to take 1 ibuprofen every 6 hours and find the nerve issues MUCH LESS overall.

These two slightly technical papers about LDN may help in this context.

Key is, if it works, that's great. I tried to get my sister who struggled with MS but she would not try it.
