MS flare = progression/ what are the indicators that LDN is working?

[Guest guest]

I have only been on LDN for 1 month and just getting up to the 3mg so

the jury is still out for me. I am feeling better than I did when I

first starting taking the LDN!! I almost threw it away I felt so

crappy with all my old symptoms returning and new joint pain and

headaches were terrible! now I just have extreme fatigue which I had

before the LDN and hope it will get better after I am on 3mg for

awhile. My question is ( about 's post about new symptoms). Can

a person have a flare on LDN and have new symptoms arise and have it

not be progression, but just a flare with new symptoms? OR is LDN

supposed to stop all new symptoms and if a person has a flare just the

old symptoms should happen? What are the indicators that LDN is

working or not? Should a person on LDN never have a flare? OR Never

have any New symptoms?

Most people do not have flare ups on LDN, but some do. We generally see

that the greatest cause is stress, but there are other things to check. One

is to try altering you dosage, another is to check on your pharmacy and see

if any changes were made to the filler or type of Naltroxone that they use.

My husband had only one problem with starting LDN and it was pretty much at

the beginning. He had new areas of numbness and tingling. We reduced his

dose to 3.0 from 4.5 and that took care of it. He has been on LDN now for 1

year and 3 months. Best decision we ever made.

I forgot to mention, , started to have problems post IV

steroids when we changed her from 4.5 mg capsules to 4.5 mg Revia

dissolved in water. My theory was dissolved in water it was getting

into her system a bit faster and was therefore stronger so we reduced

her dose to 4.0 mg. The developing problems cleared right up and she's

been doing great (for one afflicted with a chronic disease) ever since.
