Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hi, I wanted to comment on your inquiry about LDN. The web site (low dose naltrexone.org) states that there should be a 50% improvement of CFS on LDN. For fibromyalgia it is as much as 95% in pain improvement and energy. I know of two people that used very small doses, about 1.5 mg to 2 mg of Naltrexone that had ME. They complained of being extra tired. One quit taking it that had ME. The person I know that has CFS and ME is still on it at 4.5 mg and said she has good improvement with more energy and can get up earlier and go to bed later. She is not going to stop taking LDN. I have fibromyalgia and chronic back problems. I take 75% less pain meds now after being on it for almost 6 months. I wake up more refreshed with less pain and stiffness. I didn't take my 3.5 mg of LDN for two nights, thinking I might not need it anymore. By the second morning I was feeling like I did before I started taking LDN, which means that all my symptoms came back in full flare. I know it works very well for fibromyalgia. My pressure point pain is almost non-existant when I take my nightly pill. I hope this helps you decide to try it. The main reason for using it is to fool the brain into making more endorphins, our body's natural pain reliever. It also stimulates our T-cells into establishing better immunity against over production of antigens that " fight against ourselves. " (A simple way to put a complicated explanation of cellular activities.) I hope this helps you. mymisspriss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
