[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,After 4 months of talking, convincing and testing I manage to convince my doctor to prescribe LDN.It's a week I'm taking it, no side effects. bRAVoI have faith in LDN so should youSent from my iPhoneOn Jan 25, 2011, at 7:17 PM, "whispermcdreamy" <akreynolds@...> wrote:

I have been on LDN for a week now for treatment for severe crohn's disease. I feel AMAZING, and I cannot believe this was NOT one of the drug treatment options that was offered to me by my GI or Surgeon. I am SOOOO very happy that I researched LDN, and sent them both LOTS of links and educational information on it in order for them both to say "YES, we will let you try this before permanent removal of your colon, rectum, and anus."

My symptoms have decreased considerably in one week's time. I have more energy, no stomach cramps, contractions, or pain, no diarrhea, blood, mucus leakage, and my bowel movements have decreased from 8-20/day down to 1 or 2 a day. And I feel WONDERFUL. I have been suffering since last April after abscess surgery not being able to get this disease back under control where they had me off Humira for 8 weeks for healing purposes that put my body into a MAJOR flair. They finally put me on Cimzia in July, but took me off it in October, because I did not respond at all. I was put back on Humira with no success. Being I had been on all crohn's medications, I was told permanent surgery was my only option.

I am really hoping that this drug continues to improve my quality of life, and helps my case bring awareness that LDN does need to be FDA approved for all autoimmune disease before subjecting patients to the high dollar biological treatments such as Remicade, Cimzia, Humira, Tysbari, Methotrexate, Enbrel..etc, that have so many side effects. I have not experienced any side effect from LDN at all. NO scary or vivid dreams, and I feel like my mind is clearer than it has been in months now - I am able to focus on life, instead of the pain, suffering, and humility. I could actually tell a difference in the first two days!
