Changed my life after 47 years of M.E. Most of the other Drugs made things worse. Unfortunately, the G.P. who prescribed it for me for the last 3 years, has retired. I am now under review by the new Doctor, and it doesn't look good.
On June 19, 2022 I crashed my dirt bike and was hospitalized until November 2, 2022. Sustained a grade 3 diffuse axonal injury. I currently live in pain to certain areas on my body and it’s mostly left sided. Ie: face, lips, arm, and leg. It hurts to eat and drink things. I currently live in a fair amount of pain as well as extreme sensitivity in face, foot and leg along with loss of feel in my hand and foot(all on my left side).
My doctor titrated me up to 4.5 mg, but I had to back down to 3 because of side effects. I’ve been there over a year now and it really has helped with pain. No GI effects for me at that level. I was hoping to get off Lyrica, but that hasn’t happened yet.
Rule of thumb 1.5 then move up to 2,5 then 4.5 then maybe 5 or 6 we are all built differently! That’s what he meant ! Start slow & go up ! God bless you
I started at .5 and increased by .5 every 2 week's until I reached 4.5 mg. I've been on this dose for a while, and am planning on slowly going up again to either 6 or 8 mg depending, to see if I can get further improvement.
@@brendabrenner2891 I'm not sure if an ultra-low dose like .05mg, would do in terms of benefit, but my Dr. had me begin with 1.5 mg, the next week, to up it to 3, then to 4.5 mg the next week as the maintenance dose. It works well for a friend of mine without side effects, but even the 1.5 mg dose caused my GI tract to cramp up and become bloated and stay that way. I made it through the first two weeks, but I couldn't live like that, so I gave up and moved on to try another of the supplements the rheumatologist recommended I try, which included NAC (which did the same thing to me) and NAD+. NAD+ has been tolerable and doesn't seem to bother my IBS very much. But I do a relatively low dose, and it took a few weeks to see some bit of improvement. I haven't done the NAD+ infusions, but I have looked into that. It's an interesting, albeit an expensive proposition.

I hope it works out. In Canada seems impossible to find an MD or pharmacy who’s aware of it.

What about using CBD with LDN ? Specifically Delta 8
Dr Anderson, can LDN support High Cortisol to lower together with peri menopause
good idea
Thank you so much!
What types of chronic pain?
What low dose to start with and how to know if you are too high to start or too low?
On Facebook there’s a low dose naltrexone group with a lot of information from people’s experiences

Good for long C0viD?
Is the intent!
@@stevierusso529 on it now finally got referred to a long haul C0ViD clinic where the Dr actually listened and recognized c0vID as a problem
Absolutely
I tried low dose for fibromyalgia but had severe nausea h vomiting so I'm back to Gabapentin
What dose wereyouon?
What mg did you start to high ? Works great at 1 then going up to a 2 & so on !
Dose is very important with LDN
If one on Opioids do Not mix the two!
Is there a way to avoid the GI side effects? Because it has a very unpleasant impact on my IBS.
Have same concern, haven't started, what dose r u on.. my Dr doesn't know about it.. what about titrating down to . 05,or lower🙏❤️

Squirt it up your nose.
@@brendabrenner2891 At that dose it might be tolerable, but would it actually be helpful? That would be my question.
@@brendabrenner2891
Lots of info on YT for micro dosing it thru compounding. Just do a search. : )
LDN made my hair shed by the handful.
