OT- LDN in Italy

[Guest guest]

Today I spent 20 minutes trying to convince my neuro to give me LDN but he kept

saying no drug could work for all those illnesses and it was the same as

cortisone, then he looked in his PDR and said that it's just methadone, so

finally he agreed to keep the material I brought in and said he would call me in

September (it's holiday season here) so I went into the pharmacy where I only

buy pro-biotics and vitamins with no illegals. They used to think I was a

health nut, now they think I'm a heroin addict! LOL At any rate they didn't

even ask me why I wanted it, they just ordered 10 vials of 50mg for tomorrow

morning. So I got it with no Rx. I hope it really works as well as SCD has.

Methadone is a narcotic used to " help " opiate addicts get off of Heroine or

sometimes used to help people use more pain killers when they already used the

maximum amount.

Naltrexone is not an opiate. Naltrexone in the full dosage can help people get

off of narcotics such as Methadone.

Your doc would not give you Methadone.

So I am confused- the pharmacy ordered the Naltrexone for you? What is the

strength? Do you have to make low dosages yourself?

Did you get any resources in Italy? Did you get explanations how to make a low

dosage (I personally think with your joint issues you should start at a lower

dosage)

Did you explain to your Neuro the reason it helps so many illnesses is that is

modulates the immune system so it directly targets people with Auto-immune

disease?

Hi Ann,

Absolutely get blood work for the Thyroid before the LDN. I would actually get

blood work ever increase of dosage too. Monitor your thyroid and make sure the

LDN doesn't make you HyperT. Just pay attention. I had a wonderful doc that

knows all about this stuff so she held my hand through this journey- I don't

think you have such a resource so pay attention and ask questions on the LDN

site.

I had horrible Crohn's flares in the joints too. Also, debilitating.. couldn't

walk. Luckily my husband carried me those couple of times. I remember at times

I felt like almost paralyzed and had to physically " pick up " my legs and move

'em. I would take Vioxx back in the day and get Toradol shots. Those worked

like a charm. Not good for IBD though.

I am confident it will get better for you. At least I hope and pray for you Ann

that this will help.

Marilyn corrected my thinking that one has to be overweight in order to have

Sleep Apnea. This is not true. I am not overweight at all and they think I

have it. Once again there is no size fits all. Maybe you can see another doc

about this?

So sorry it is such a pain..

One gets sick just dealing with all these doctors.. It's a full time job

achieving health.
