Posting before I’m too lazy…

I asked my Massachusetts Rheumatologist if I could try LDN for Fibromyalgia and she said not for off label use.

Guess I’ll just suffer.

    That’s crazy. My VA primary care doctor let me try LDN for fibro a decade ago. It didn’t help me, but I have a friend who tried it for EDS and they are able to function most days because of it. Are they not offering you an alternative? (Gabapentin is what I have been on, although I know it doesn’t work for everyone)

      Gabapentin and Amitriptyline made me sucidial and extra special dissociative/depersonalized did help nerve pain and migraines tho lol.

      Drs didn’t wanna try any other similar meds like Lyrica or Nortriptyline after.

      I’m gonna attempt getting a new neurologist since my last one ghosted me and my rhumo is useless…

      I went in on that one too hard I suppose…I mean my father had just died from brain cancer and I was worried about my bad migraines, was why I was seeing the neuro before I also got Fibro DX.

      I do have my state Medical card so there’s that at least. But sux being in pain/sensations 24/7. I’m only 6 years in now.
