if you want to try it and your doc is hesitant, a lot of info on here of how best to find a doc who will accommodate your wishes. if you get stuck, please ask here, but the best advice i heard was to go to the local compounding pharmacy, and ask them which doctor(s) in town prescribe. then make an appointment with that doctor. i had planned to do just that, got the info from the pharmacy that had already been making my progesterone creme for me. had the appointment all set up with a GP who practices a mix of western and alternative medicine here. but turned out i didn't need to go that route because my rheumy decided to let me try it. what convinced him was the articles pulled off of pubmed on its use in autoimmune disease (especially crohn's since its a spondy and that's what he thinks i have), also another on fibro (not that i have that, but rather to show the diversity). also was able to show him the lack of side effects from an LDN website (just google LDN). if you go to the pharmacy section of this forum, and find the post "i started LDN last night", a lot more info there. maybe you've already found all this information.......

anyway, good luck with the LDN.
