Remicade/LDN - Sharon (was Re: flu'ish like cold)

[Guest guest]

I have a similar situation in which Remicade is not lasting the full 8

weeks. I'm going to wait until Remicade stops working and I start

getting symptoms, then I'll start the LDN. This will give me

positive, immediate feedback if the LDN works. If not, no harm done,

as LDN has less side effects than aspirin.

· Remicade - Called Skip's Pharmacy at the suggestion of people in this group, and the pharmacist there told me you have to be off Remicade for 50 days before starting LDN. Since the two meds have opposing effects on the immune system, LDN won't work while on Remicade. http://www.skipspha rmacy.com/

I, too, am on remicade. I just started LDN 3 days ago. According to my doctor and the compounding pharmacist there shoud be no problem with the two together. The LDN should enhance the immune system. What I am reading on the forum is a bit troubling as it sounds like the two do not mix well.
