Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi everyone! I haven't really posted on here before, but that is mostly because the LDN at 4.5mg has been working awesome for my Psoriasis. My skin looks a million times better than it has in years! Only recently, since I have been diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, have I been worried about pain management while taking my LDN. I know that it is a long shot, but does anyone in here have chronic pain that requires medication? Over-the-counters do absolutely nothing for me. I've tried prescription ib profin and naproxin, but they don't even touch the pain and I know that Vicodin is useless with LDN because it is an opiate. What won't interfere with my LDN, but is strong enough to treat severe pain? Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proteolytic or systemic enzymes work wonderfully for me. I take Restore by Garden of Life, but there are many kinds available (Wobenzyme, Vitalzym, Purzyme, etc). It's important to take on an empty stomach, otherwise they just help digest your food--you want them to digest/dissolve the debris created by inflammation. Only contraindication is if you're on blood thinners (Warfarin etc).I had a bad fall recently, no broken bones but extreme pain for about a week until someone recommended I try these--relief within 2 days! Since then, I've continued to take them for RA pain -- great for that too. Here's a little info: Brief overview: http://www.nutritionreview.org/library/proteolytic.enzymes.htmlOverview from Memorial Sloan-Kettering:http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69342.cfmJudith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
