New member with LDN questions..Please offer thoughts..

[Guest guest]

My name is , I am 38 yr old mom too 4 great kids.. After the

birth of my 3rd child who was born Via c-section ( blood tranfusion )

after his birth.. I was DX'd with hashimoto thyroiditis, I have

recently had my 4 th and final baby on 2007, after his birth, my

health has just gone downhill from there..

I been on Cortef for adrenal issues, which I am not so sure I needed

too begin with, however it made me see the sunshine again.. the

fatigue went away,my mouth stopped burning, hair loss stopped, skin

cleared up, but with this med came some pretty bad side

effects......I am in the process of weaning off the steroid due too

some Ill effects from this med ( eye site/blood sugar

issues )..Anyway, I have been seeing a naturopath for some health

issues, adrenals/thyroid/gallbladder liver problemns.. the list of

issues is endless for me.. Hair loss is insane and Thyroid meds seem

too just make me go hyper.. I just cannot seem too tolerate them no

matter what dose, or what thyroid med I take.. whether it be Armour,

or synthroid.. so no longer take that med either..I have been

recently dealing with feeling of faintness,burning mouth

syndrome,feeling like my arm muscles are tensing, and my nauturopath

said it seems as if my nervous system is going crazy..which scars me

ALOT...

I was wondering.. how does one know if LDN would benefit them, and

how do I approach the subject with my doctor about this med. I have

done some reading on it, as I have seen 2 ppl so far on my throid

board who are on it, and have gotten great results with it...

Also saw the news report about it only coming in 50mg capsules and

something about finding a compounded pharmacy for this med..can

anyone here explain this too me Please...this confuses me a bit..I am

looking for any thoughts, advice or info anyone can offer me..

Side effects, safeness.. these types of things..I am too see a

neurologist for my head issues at the end of July.which part of me

feels is a waste of more money and time for me..I have had so much

testing.. Brain MRI with and w/out contrat, Liver/gallbladder sonos,

that come back clean, CT scans, X-Rays, and the amount LAB work is

INSANE, I have a novel here in lab work.... vitmain deficienies which

I have NONE of.. Zinc was a bit low, so take Zinc..either way

everything says I am normal, but I do not feel normal..

Anyway, after reading the threads made by 2 peeple on this board, and

seeing a news cast for it, I was wondering if this is something I

might benefit from it, but sounds like it is NOT EASILY accpeted by

doctors..
