Opiate pain medications - any alternatives

[Guest guest]

We have a friend with MS and severe neuropathic pain. She now has a

neurologist willing to prescribe LDN, but the catch is of course the

opiate pain meds. She has even had a nerve block, which failed. I

fear that there is no alternative to these types of pain meds,

otherwise they would not be employing them, but thought I would

enquire in case someone has heard of a similar situation, and

possible solution?

The LDN at 4.5mg with lactose filler diminished my neuropathic pain a good 75%

over a 4 month period. It helped approx. 40% on the first night's dose. But we

are all different and too, she has used narcotics and I haven't and I have heard

that LDN has a harder time working immediately for those who've been on long

term narcotic use. You never know until you try though.

My extreme nueropathic pain left after the third day on 4.5 mgs. It has never come back.But then I could control it fairly well, at least temporarily, by rubbing my arm and leg and side with hemp massage oil.
