LDN AND PAIN

deleted_user

I AM CHECKING OUT EVERYTHING I CAN ABOUT THE LDN THERAPY FOR MS. SOOOO MANY OF YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SUCH GREAT ADVICE, AND HOPE. BUT.....
I SEE YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS WHILE ON LDN. I AM IN SEVERE AND CONSTANT PAIN, BOTH MUSCULAR AND NERVE PAIN. I TAKE LYRICA 3X A DAY (IT IS CONSIDERED A NARCOTIC DUE TO IT'S ABILITY TO POTENTIATE OTHER NARCOTICS) FOR NERVE PAIN AND VICODEN 7.5 MG 4-5 TIMES A DAY.

OK, SO MY QUESTION IS...IF YOU TAKE LDN, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR PAIN? DID YOU HAVE SEVERE PAIN BEFORE TAKING LDN? DID YOU HAVE TO WITHDRAWL FROM NARCOTICS FIRST? WHAT ABOUT NERVE PAIN?

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!! EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT PAIN, I JUST LIVE WITH IT WHEN I HAVE IT.

YOU CAN TAKE DARVOCET WITH LDN

IBUPROFIN, ALEVE, ALL THEM.. JUST NOT OPIATE BASED PAIN MEDS


EVER GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR? MAYBE THEY CAN HELP SOME

I just deal with my pain....but usually when I am on LDN I don't have pain just mental confusion...can't think straight and have to think twice as long as the "normal" person.....ask your doc or neuro about it..what to expect?

Good questions, I had the same. Especially about emergency care, how will they deal with it. And according to LarryLDN (he's awesome btw), they can get opiate meds, they just have to give more to overcome the effects of the LDN. So, that's a relief. I too have chronic pain, but I try to deal with it and not take pain meds. Its tough, but do-able. We'll see how things go with me. :) Good luck!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
