Thank you for making this Website it so help full to me because sometimes I feel like I have no hope. I’ve been taking herb supplements like curcumin and turmeric cayenne and a lot of other herbs supplements for nerve pain. I also have been taking the Hypericum for some time now although it really doesn’t help my ankle and foot pain so I’m hoping that I can find the Ledum pal to help my Feet and toes. I went to a neurologist and within a 5-minute visit of me explaining what my symptoms was. He told me that I had overactive nerve pain and then he gave me two different doses of Lyrica. I researched Lyrica time and time again and I chose to put it under my bed and never touch it and I have it since that day. Thank you again for your kind heart and concern about helping other people who are in need. One more thing? Is the Hypericum the same as St. Jhons Wart?
