Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I am taking 3.5 mg of LDN for the pst 8 months for fibromyalgia. It has given me improvement in morning pain and stiffness and a little more energy. In fact, I almost could not walk across the floor in the mornings due to pain and stiffness. I was on Ultram, Neurontin, Norflex, and Baclofen through out the day. I also took Effexor XR and Restoril. I do not need Ultram or Neurontin or anti-depressants anymore. I still take Baclofen or Norflex occasionally because of muscle spasms due to other back problems. I still take the Restoril for the deep sleep. My " total body pain " has diminished, but I still get some spasms in my neck and shoulders, because of the cervical-spinal and disc problems. In general, my lifestyle has improved and I am not coping with generalized unbearable pain anymore. I had to adjust my LDN from 4.5 mg to 3 mg and then to 3.5 mg which I am on now. I tired going without the LDN for several nights and all of the old pain and misery was back on the third morning. My filler is methocellulose, not lactose. I had a complete thyroidectomy and am fairly stable on my present thyroid meds. I have not had a cold or the flu or any additional illness since starting LDN. I would not care to be without LDN ever again. It has helped me more than any pain pills I have tried. I think it has prevented me from needing stronger and more powerful pain drugs.
