Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Larry, It's similar here in Oz to almost everywhere else in the world - some docs will and most won't prescribe it. I am lucky that I've had a great relationship with my General Practitioner since I started seeing her in 1993 not long after I was diagnosed with PLS. In fact she has suggested other " off label " things to me to try so as I expected she had absolutely no hesitation in giving me a script for LDN when I presented her with all the info. She is a seeming rarity for doctors - is willing to try anything that doesn't involve any/much risk in order to help her patients get better. Plenty of compounding pharmacies here too - only problem is beating all the kangaroos away from the door! :-) The best one I know of is actually in Adelaide where the original poster was from.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Great advice Larry. Ill defiantely go armed with more info for my GP and show him the links. I have found one compounding pharmacy here in Adelaide which is a good sign-I tried calling them today to no avail..so will keep trying and hopefully go about asking them if they have LDN in stock or can point me in the right direction to obtaining some! Im not giving up!!! Gemma low dose naltrexone From: larry@...Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 22:25:10 -0600Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Finding a Doctor Hello. This is in response to the post trying to find a Doctor to prescribe LDN in Australia. I don't know what Doctors are like there but if you have a good relationship with you primary care doctor, you might try showing him/her a few pages from the LDN website (http://www.low dose naltrexone.org) or others and point out to your doctor that it can't do any harm (and you believe it will help). Do you have compounding pharmacies "Down Under"? Skip (at Skip's Pharmacy) is such a nice guy he might talk to you pharmacist to tell what he does.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Connecticut Derby Dr. Guarnaccia (203) 732-1290 Yale/New Haven Medical Dept (Derby Hospital) Connecticut ??? Dr. Perettes (203) 445-0614 Here are a list of 2 doctors that have prescribed LDN in the past. I can't say if they are open to it, only that someone reported it to us a long time ago. At least they might know about it. Otherwise you can try your own doctors and let them know it has passed the first Pen State trial with flying colors for Crohn's disease, and they are in the process of trialing it at UCSF for MS. [low dose naltrexone] finding a doctor does anybody have any advise on how to find a doctor who will prescribe LDN in Connecticut or surrounding states?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hello- I have had RA since 1988, when it hit me at age 20. I have a severe case: probably need a hip replacement now, curled hands, etc. etc. I started the AP in 2000 or 2001, then stopped it within the year for personal (non-medical) reasons. I'm ready to begin again and want some opinions regarding doctor selection. I live in a small SE Kansas town with limited doctor choices. My local doctor will not prescribe AP, nor will two rheumatologists I have approached (no surprise). I think an M.D. in a nearby town who is known to take a more wholistic approach to medicine would prescribe the AP. I'm wondering, though: Because I have severe, long-standing RA, would I be better off making a trip to see Dr. Franco in California? That would be a convenient choice, because he does all of the testing so I wouldn't have to find a lab, find someone to send off a blood sample, and other logistical considerations. What are your opinions? Would I benefit from seeing Dr. Franco? Or should I continue looking locally? I know the choice is ultimately mine. I am not looking for anyone to make my decisions for me. I'm simply asking for your experiences and opinions so I can use that information to make an informed decision. Thanks for your time!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Personally unless you ran into a problem while taking antibiotics why see Franco?? Your doctor can do the prescribing and your rheumy can do any testing you need. And of course we are here <smile>. That's what I did. My rheumy even told me not to come back unless I wanted her meds and I went back anyway and she did what I asked for testing and the antinflams I needed. My FP still won't order the meds so I see a doctor that does more holistic work. See if you can get a doc to send your blood to be tested for mycoplasma before you start also. Hope you get it soon and get better soon.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi , How are you doing? Just curious, would you be ope3n to alternative solution? Have you tried natural supplements? The reason I'm asking is because I have a cousin who has RA and I asked her to try these 2 strong antioxidants called OPC-3 and ORAC from Isotonix line. She was a bit hesitate in the beginning, but she tried it anyway because it's all natural. She took it the first time on April 2007. She went to doctor in May 2007 and her C-reactive protein went down from 86 to 68. In August, she went back to the doctor again and this time her C-reactive protein value went down drastically to 4.4. Her doctor was surprised. My cousin looks so much healthier now, less pain, getting better everyday. Not totally cured yet, but she has a lot of energy now and looks so much healthier. Plus it's all natural, so no side effect. Those products were recommended by my friend who is a Nutraceutical Consultant. I got those products from his website: www.marketamerica.com/zingo <http://www.marketamerica.com/zingo> Ok, good luck! > > Hello- > > I have had RA since 1988, when it hit me at age 20.
