LDN and Psoriatic Arthritis

January 28, 2011

I have been on LDN 4.5 for just over two weeks now for PsA. The first 2 nights I

had Great Dreams and I have to say I never enjoyed stretching as much as I

did....must be the endorphins kicking in...I also felt much better than I had in

months. Was diagnosed this past May with the PsA. Was on prednisone till I

started the LDN and quit taking it two days before starting 5mg morning and 5mg

night (prednisone). All of a sudden near the end of the first week everything

started getting swollen and painful again...while it is no worse than being on

the prednisone (the swelling and joint pain) I thought I was on a clear path of

recovery. Spoke with the doc that prescribed and he said to give it another 2

weeks. Has anybody had similar setbacks? Most of the people Ive talked to say

the effect was immediate.....and I thought my results were too....but it seems

I won't be able to go back to my Rheumy and tell her to go fly a kite along with

her enbrel!!!!!!! Please let me know any stories you might like to share. Im

not gonna give up...but would love to hear Im not alone in this battle and that

I might not be a responder. Thanx in advance

Please be open to using LDN for months and months, not just weeks. Quite often

there is an initial immediate " feel good " thing happening and then, quite often

it can get worse, or the same as before. But it pretty much always gets better

with longer use so try to stick it out if you can. Good luck.
