Guest guest Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hello - First a bit of background. I am female, retired, on BHRT (no ovaries), Thyroid-S 6.5 grains(no thyroid), and hydrocortisone 27.5mg for my worn-out adrenals. I take 50mg Iodoral, and other nutrients to support my being thyroidless... This past year, I noticed a loss of strength in my right hand, followed by muscle wasting and clawing tendencies in the fingers. The neurologist gave me a long laundry list of possible diseases. None were nice. I researched the lot, and if anything, I might have a motor neuron disease. Might. The blood lab indicated no autoimmune problems... ANA neg... and in fact, nothing was out of range. I started LDN 1.5mg one week ago, to stall whatever it is. I am scheduled to increase my dose to 3mg tomorrow. Prior to starting LDN, I had managed to get my hormones in balance, and was sleeping well. With LDN, the night sweats have returned. Is this normal? Will they go away with continued use? At any rate, the LDN is my first non-hormone Rx. Given my situation, can I expect it to be of benefit to me? Thanks! Lynnette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I am still having the night sweats with the LDN. I am on 3mg a night. Skip mentioned to me that the LDN could affect the balance of the hormones and I should have them checked again.From: Lynnette <amberlyn@...>low dose naltrexone Sent: Sun, February 20, 2011 4:12:13 PMSubject: [low dose naltrexone] New Here, with questions Hello - First a bit of background.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The sweating happens when endorphins are released. It does get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
