RE: nausea and thick mucus/LDN

[Guest guest]

My LDN/sleep experience mirrors n’s – LDN regulated

my sleep as well! I have been using 3 mg cream for 3 months. Initial first 3

weeks had low grade headaches and sleep disturbance, but was always able to

fall back asleep and sleep deeply and soundly. The rem sleep is so refreshing –

what a difference LDN has made for me. This is the best I’ve ever felt!

To determine dosage: weight in pounds x .03 = dose LDN

As regards mucus & sinus problems, a poster on the LDN Yahoo

Group contends that sinus problems are rooted in fungal problems. To test that

you could try taking anti-fungals to kill yeast and see if that mucus

production improves. Also, try cutting out honey.

I am at a loss to explain the nausea you are experiencing.

I take the full 4.5 mg, but started at about 2 mg and worked up over several

weeks. Some people take longer, but I found increasing over a few weeks worked

for me.

As

for insomnia and LDN. I've had a lot of sleep problems over the years also,

which of course exacerbated the Crohn's and other problems because I was never

able to get enough rejuvenating rest. Now I am, however, on the LDN. But not at

first. For the first two or three weeks I did wake up at 2 or 3 am. when my

endorphins started kicking in in response to the LDN opioid blockade receding.

BUT -- and this is a huge " but " -- after that period of adjustment I

began to sleep better than I've slept in many, many years. LDN actually helps

you sleep very deeply; lots of REM sleep, which is why many people report vivid

dreams while on LDN.

Not

everyome has those initial sleep problems on LDN. I did, and you might. But if

you bite and bullet and allow yourself to get through that, the chances are

very high that once your system adjusts to it, you'll start getting the kind of

sleep you need, and any fatigue problem you might had (mine was debilitating)

will likely pretty much vanish, as mine has. On Day 5 I had an amazing surge of

energy and it began changing my life.
