Re: When to increase dose for Crohns

Dave:

I also have Crohn's. I started at 3 mg for about 3 weeks and

increased by .5 mg each night. at 4.5 mg. I felt terrible. I backed

down to 4 mg. and found that to be my magic number! It's been about

2 or 3 weeks now of feeling better than I have ever felt in my life.

I have to tell you, I was in a SEVERE flare lasting 6 solid months;

vomiting, bloody diarrhea, 103 fever...24/7...I now have NO Crohn's

symptoms and full of energy. I hope it works as well for you. By the

way, I'm 5'6 " , 110 lbs.

I have MS and on LDN. My 10 yr old daughter just got diagnosed with Crohn's. I thought I had read somewhere that LDN can cure Crohn's. Are you aware of this. Do you have any knowledge of this?

" Cure " isn't a term used with autoimmune diseases, unfortunately.

I hate that your daughter has to have this on her medical record

forever, having the disease is bad enough. I hope she isn't

suffering with it. I know some people have a very mild form of

Crohn's. Mine happens to be very agressive and did not respond at

all to conventional meds. LDN has completely erased all symptoms. I

was so sick for so long that I never expected to feel this well ever

again. This is exactly what I have been harping about to my Dr.

from the beginning. If the immune system is working properly, don't

suppress it or kill it, lets make it work right.

Why don't you go to 3.0 and see if that works for you? Maybe you do best on 3.0. Best, Kathy
