Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi pinkmatsy,It is doubtful whether LDN can help in that particular situation. However, may I suggest the application of hot castor oil packs over the liver and gall bladder area.

If they want to throw theirs away out of stupidity then that's up to them but you refuse to allow them to put you under undue stress from that point on. Tell them it's time to start acting their age and start growing up to be law abidng and respectful men and young men, not drug addicts and low lifes. I put most of my dad's family out of my life the year before I started LDN. Told them ADIOS and don't call me. Your husband is up to you, send him packing or lay some ground rules.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Saundra, Nicknamedjaylo, and Everyone, What a profound observation you have made and so well expressed! I have begun to write and may soon have a first person essay published. I truly appreciate the creative, and emotionally open way you have given the best possible advice for EVERYONE- with or without chronic illness. It is life's hardes lesson, just as you said. I'm so sorry to hear about the incredibly trying times you are going through Nicknamedjaylo. Wow what strengthh you have to even just still BE here! The best healing energy is sent to you and the wish for the absolute best possible joy to enter your life and soon. Here's my LDN update da da duh da dadun....presenting : "IC and the 7 Dwarfs" IBS, GERD, Allergies, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, and finally, Restless Leg Syndrome, I’ve now been on LDN for 17 days and am happy to report very good results so far. The dose I’m using at present is 3.4 mg. and I’m tolerating it very well. I began with a first dose of 1.5 mg. because IC/hypothyroid patients are notoriously sensitive to meds. LDN is something I very much look forward to each night. Within 2 hours, a feeling of tranquility seems to gently wrap around me like a blanket of peace. One of my other LDN guy buddies calls it the “LDN smile”(you know who you are!) and that really comes the closest to describing it. If you're a creative soul or someone with a vivid imagination, I know this will make some sense to you too. IBS is really calming down to a point that using OTC stuff like Equalactin and Imodium sparingly is helping to bring it under control. I also think it is really helping me sleep. The last several nights, I’ve slept 10-11 hours without any interruption! Also, later in the evening anywhere from 9 PM or so, I feel myself start to relax as if my body is anticipating a good night's sleep. Intermittently, I began sleeping better from about the 5th day. The nerve pain in the sacral area is steadily abating! YES! April 16th I began taking Vistaril (generic hydroxyzine pamoat) 50 mg. at bedtime. My uro had changed my Rx antihistamine from Atarax 100 mg. q hs (bed time) and 25-50 -100mg q 4 h as needed (prn) to Vistaril 50 mg. q hs and q 4h prn. There’s been a significant lessening of allergies! Now, since the Vistaril was only added 4 days ago, and intermittently I had already been sleeping better with the LDN and Atarax, I really believe the LDN is most responsible for improving my sleep. It could also be that Vistaril works well with LDN? Wish I knew……. Last night, for the first time ever, I went to the piano and a song literally flowed through my fingers onto the keys effortlessly. LDN may have also cleared up the creative channel by lifting the pain and balancing the endorphins and immune system, Sweet! I very much look forward to that continuing.... The Interstitial Cystitis is improving, though not as dramatically as the IBS has. IC is very much a stubborn dwarf Contemplating moving the dose up in a few nights to see if that will bring it under control Do any of you with MS have symptoms you'd describe as "burning in the urethra? This is a common IC symptom and very uncomfortable. How does MS typically/atypically affect a person's bladder? Years ago, I knew a beautiful young woman who continued having symptoms of bladder infections. Eventually, she was diagnosed via spinal tap with MS. This was 36 years ago and I've lost track of her many years now. Vistaril is improving the allergic stuff, and that is very important in IC management. For the first 2 days taking Vistaril left me with a little "hangover" the next morning. But, the "hangovers" lifted quickly and I barely noticed it this morning, which is DAY 4 with Vistaril. Hope you are doing GREAT! I was so excited today when I realized how much better I have been feeling. I’m sending you healing energy and hope you have a similar or even better experience with LDN and soon, my friends! Saundra, thank you so much again for that poignant, honest and uplifting post. It will help me stay positive too.Janet "I absolutely believe to my soul that this corporate greed andcorporate power has an ironclad hold on our democracy." -- Sen. , Iowa, 2008 Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi Jan, What great news that you're already having good effects from the LDN. I hope it helps your cystitis soon as well. I suffered from nonbacterial urethritis for years and can sympathisize (it went away after taking herbs and having a dilation and only resurfaced once recently, when I was eating dried goji berries on a regular basis-- which must have irritated my system). I wanted to comment on Imodium. I've heard here that it's an opiate and so it should not be taken with LDN. Hopefully you won't need it anyway! Best wishes, B., Graves' disease, thyroid eye disease, eczema, some RA >. > > Here's my LDN update da da duh da dadun....presenting : > " IC and the 7 Dwarfs " IBS, GERD, Allergies, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, and finally, Restless Leg Syndrome, > > >> IBS is really calming down to a point that using OTC stuff like Equalactin and Imodium sparingly is helping to bring it under control.

I am so happy you are feeling better. I am too. Isn't it amazing how much we just went through life 'dealing' with it, instead of living it? I know what you mean about your creative side coming through again. And, to be honest, I hadn't even realized I had lost mine. But now that it's back, I sure did miss it. You know, I realize how much I had lost myself. Funny thing is, that is just what I needed. They always say you need to loose yourself to find yourself, and that was so true for me. The best thing that has every happened to me, is getting Graves Disease!! Then the LDN. Because of these 2 things, I am sure of who I am for the first time in 36 years.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 It's funny you should mention being creative. I have become creative again over the past year or so for the first time in ages. It is very cathartic. It's like therapy - I suppose. I've heard much about the psychology behind illnesses and I can't help but think that things come about to redirect us to where we should be. I'm writing again and I love it. So - thanks MS and LDN. > > > > Saundra, Nicknamedjaylo, and Everyone, > > What a profound observation you have made and so well expressed! > > Thank you!! > I am so happy you are feeling better.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I get my LDN from Skip's Pharmacy and they don't except insurance but sent me a paper to fill out to send to Medicaid so I filled it out and sent it in and never heard a word. I'll have to try and see if Medicare will pay for it now since I have that now too. Who knows....Worth a try even though they probably won't pay it.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Tramadol is a narcotic so LDN should be rendering it useless, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. The others are fine to take with LDN. Art -- Hi All; I've been on 3mg LDN over three years, my doctor said my MS is inactive, I presume she means it's not progressing? My question is; I'm on Tizanidine, Tramadol, Oxybutynin chloride & Gabapentin, are these drugs compatible with LDN or do they cancel out LDN somewhat? I feel LDN has done me good, but wondering if I'm getting the full benefit of LDN. Thanx, Jim (ND) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi Cheryl, I will also talk to him about LDN in my next appointment. He told me the same thing in a reply of a weekly update. Naltrexone works as an opioid antagonist at high doses, but at low doses it works as an immune modulator. The only side effects reported have been hyperactivity and insomnia during the first 5-7 days. Please read the information from the website below and it will make wonder why it should not be used. Isn't this the immune modulating drug that we have been waiting for many years???? Many people are saying that LDN is work very effectively as an immune system modulator. This is an FDA approved medication, just like the SSRIs and just like the SSRIs the Naltrexone is given in very low doses. http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/ The link below from the author of the Children with Starving brains books claims that LDN has been used in more than 10,000 immune-impaired children with autism over the past two years successfully. They also claim that LDN is very safe. http://www.treatstarvingbrains.com/alternate%20pages/articles.htm Thanks, > > > Talked to Dr. G today about the LDN and he is against it because: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Please - anyone diagnosed w/ALS, research/google "Lyme ALS" - read as much as you can. I have a published article by WT Harvey and D Martz on motor neuron disease and recovery w/antibiotic therapy scanned into my computer. Be glad to send it to you privately (can't send attachments to the list). Sue Posted by: "DL Dycus" bluemustangragtop@... bluemustangragtop Mon Sep 1, 2008 2:20 pm (PDT) I have ALS and have been on LDN for 4 months. LDN helped greatly with my fatigue. I will continue to take it because I have had no side effects, and I feel better on it. My ALS symptoms continue to increase slowly. The LDN costs me $40 a month. Don't give up the fight!!
