Any reason why LDN is so "popular" here all of a sudden? I feel like it's almost being pushed.

I mean, I know it's "new" and all, but... really? It's a pain medicine, right, not something that improves the CRPS. And there are plenty of other options in that regard. And everyone is different!

I've been on Neurontin and buprenorphine patches + sublingual buprenorpine since 2004. These things have tackled my pain tremendously well. I do have my moments where the pain breaks through, but the sublingual pills take care of that pretty darn well. I do have a remnant of pain, but nerve pain is difficult to truly get rid of.

Nothing can be done for my legs anymore, but I knew that. It was far too late for any kind of treatment (not that doctors didn't try and give it their all, because they *did*, you betcha).

My arms, different story. That was early stage and was tackled with calcitonin pretty well (I react favorably to that medication).

Anyway, what I want to come across is that it is DIFFERENT for everyone, and it's like LDN is just being pushed forward as "the answer", and I don't like that - at all.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.
