Well, you know the basis of the doctor recommendation,
it's not like I have personal awareness, but somebody
thought enough of them to endorse them to the Co-cure
list, that has been considerable endorsement for many.

Your explanation of the function of Naltrexone is quite
astute, I told you that you could get it. I'll bet that if you
read the first URL again, the one with the rat studies,
it would make more sense to you now.

And when are we going to learn whether you have an
occult bone fracture, and whether you really have RSD?

-------------------------------
I need to get those tests scheduled (hopefully by the new doc since the
current one has written me off since he hasn't been able to instantly cure
me). And it has to get scheduled before the end of the year or it will have
to be pretty far into next year since at 1/1/2010 my $3,000 deductible goes
into effect. That's if I still have a job by then - the merger is effective
on 1/4/2010 and we have no idea of what the carnage will be after that. I
do know that we can't afford COBRA so it will probably be a re-run of 2003
when I was laid off from Amerada Hess - cold turkey, but that time off the
Effexor/Neurontin/Wellbutrin/Ambien/etc. I've taken myself off the opiates
for a week and that cold turkey experience was a breeze compared to the 2003
one when I almost died.
-------------------------------

Your natural endorphins are more potent than the opiates.

Ya know, you might go on a different protocol than LDN,
so that you are coadministering an even lower dose,
each time you take one of the meds.

One of the concerns you expressed a while back was
the expectation that you would have to go "cold turkey"
before anything with LDN could be considered, and I
think now you can see that other alternatives can be
considered.

Keep us up on it? And might want to sign up for the
Yahoo group, there are over 5,000 in it.

-----------------------
Seriously, as much as I'd love to join another group, I'm just not
physically up to it. There are times when I scarce in this group and I've
already given up on two other groups that I absolutely loved (had been on
one since 1996). I just hurts too damned much to type.

I'm making an appointment on Monday to see one of the doctors you
recommended. I don't expect a "cure" for my RSD/CRPS - the only thing I'm
hoping for is to be able to reduce my dosage of opiates and at the same
time
make them more effective in controlling my pain, and to reduce or
eliminate
my dependence on opiates. If I get this right (and please excuse the
*very*
simplistic terms and analogies I'm using here) what will happen is that
the
Naltrexone will "scrub clean" the opiate receptors in my brain so that
every
time I take an opiate it will be like the very first time I am taking an
opiate - not only reducing my dependency on the opiates, but also
controlling the problem of tolerance (since those receptors are "scrubbed
clean" every day, you won't have to use stronger and stronger opiates in
order to force them through the clogged drains, er, receptors). Am I
anywhere in the ballpark with that flaky explanation?
