Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 My GI wouldn't prescribe LDN due to not having data on what it might do to the body years down the line. How long have people been using LDN? Is there a study out there about long term safety? I've been thinking about making my own LDN from instructions that were recently posted. I haven't resumed Humira, although I was supposed to. I don't want my GI to drop me (I really need her to keep being my GI), so I'm unsure of what to tell her come my next appt. in Feb.

Is she that concerned about what Humira and all the rest are doing her patients? > > I've been thinking about making my own LDN from instructions that were > recently posted.

Unless you live in a rural area is it so hard to get another doctor? Objecting to such a thing would be utterly close-minded on the part of a doctor. Humira can do a lot of damage, both short- and long-term. Surely she knows that. I would encourage you to go wit hthe LDN. I also refused to take Humira and I certianly have not regrets (though I have a much more openminded doctor, apparently. His approach -- though he hadn't heard about it and I " m the one that told him about it -- was " well, it certianly can't hurt you, and it may help, " (which, of course, it has; big time). n > > Holly > Crohn's > SCD 12/01/08 > > >> >> > (But I'll say it for the umpteenth time: I'd suggest also looking >> > into taking LDN with the diet.) >> >> >> Here's my one suspicion with LDN, as with any med: Can one go off of >> it after using it for a while and not have any withdrawal or negative >> effects?
