I was the lucky winner of autoimmune phenomenon caused by the JJ Covid vaccine. Started LDN one yr post vax and it was the 1st sign of healing. Long way off, but grateful for any help.
Friday, June 21, 2024 Low dose naltrexone June 2024 I was prescribed LDN to balance my antibodies for hashimotos. I am female at age 69yrs. I started on on 5/23/24. I started with .75 mg which is one pill. Took it for 2 weeks, increased it to two pills which is 1.50mg. Today 6/21/24, I'm on my 5th week which is my third pill at 2:25 mg. At this point I have no negative side effects, I do take it at night. I guess the best thing that I noticed with LDN is that I don't get tired. As soon as I get new blood work I will find out how my antibodies have been reduced. I have listened to several RU-vid videos from different doctors, amazing what this drug can do for so many health issues. All doctors should be educated on this amazing drug to help patients feel better.
Not even the LDN Research Trust webcasts, podcasts and literature online, has explained LDN so good, in such a little time, without complicated words and phrases. I thought I knew it all. Thanks!
Many thanks for this video ! Im supposed to take 3 mg a day. My bottles sat for 9 mo until I found this video! It was prescribed along with something else for my IBS. When I got home & googled it I thought it was a mistake! I asked the pharm tech why I was getting it. She shrugged "idk"! We are at the mercy of the worst employee of the day! I never took opioids or do drugs, So the bottle just sat here. Then I saw your video !! SMH
Thank you man. Post Lyme, CPTSD and multiple painful neuromuscular disorders driven by inflammation has made my life a living hell. My doctors just prescribed me this and I pray it works
It will work. I take the liquid preservative free & corn free version. I have your diagnosises & more. Start low & slow. If you have killer nightmares, back down on the quantity. Some people get results quickly, while others take longer. Eventually you will get to a point where you will need to titrate back down. I no longer need 4.5mg & use 1.25mg. Best taken before bedtime (between 9pm -12 midnight).
I have not gotten an endorphin rush in years because of my post exertional malaise and chronic fatigue is symptoms. I'm on day 4 of low-dose naltrexone and I once again remember what the endorphin rush felt like. I literally feel more clear and just a chill sense of well-being. I'm extremely chemically sensitive and I react to everything and get really bad headaches I'm still not a hundred percent sure whether or not I'm reacting to the naltrexone because I've had a low-grade headache regardless but I do feel the endorfin side of it already after three or four days
@@SS-in1ts I think it's doing the same thing to me, after I saw your comment I realized that I didn't know where it was coming from I've been having trouble eating and swallowing things for maybe 3-4 weeks now, I started taking it for cancer that helped a lot with some of the pain that I was having but now that you mention about the swallowing thing I am going to see if this is what's causing my problem, I kind of hate to stop taking it but, ifthat's what's causing the problem and it is doesn't get any better than maybe I should stop, it seems like whatever I eat or take gets stuck halfway down myself I guess and I need to drink water of push it down and it's painful sometimes when I do that could you describe what you're feeling I thank you in advance that I'm glad you commented about your swallowing situation because it makes me wonder about my situation Thank you
sorry to hear! have the same symtpms... CFS before, but now better. Did you also notice sexual side effects after taking LDN? Less pleasure when intimate etc.=!
I had to have the dosage dropped to ultra low dose 0.01mg in liquid form. You can talk to the compound pharmacist and they can instruct you on how to take and the dr how to prescribe.
It has taken me over 6 years to get a referral to a doctor who prescribes LDN. I'm waiting for the call to get my appointment scheduled. I've got several issues it's been said to help, including depression that's never been helped by antidepressants. Most doctors don't know about it because it's not a money maker for big pharma. It actually costs the pharmaceutical industry $$ because it replaces so many expensive drugs.
@@JeffreyLinIt's been a miracle for me. 5mg is what I was prescribed. The pain from a whiplash injury is the least problem it's been in 40 years. I haven't had the flu like symptoms from summer sun I typically get from summer sun as a result of Lupus flares.
This cured my colitis. I stopped using it for a while and now have asthma and autoimmune uveitis. We will.see if going back on that resolves those problems
I am hoping it will help with Long Haul Covid symptoms. I started last night with .125 mg because I am sensitive and react to everything. Today waves of nausea and off balance and increase in anxiety. My brain is vibratting too but that is the LC. Praying these side effects pass me fast and that this will help me. Thank you so much for posting this. Sooo very helpful
I’ve had good results for my chronic back pain on LDN back in 2018, not sure why and how I’ve stopped taking it. I’ve restarted it a week ago and already seeing improvement on 1.5 mg. I’m also on Dupixent for the last eight months so I’m hopeful they’ll work in synergy. Great that you’ve discovered LDN as well Jeff, and big thank you for all your great info and support to your fellow eczema sufferers! Best to you!
This is the worst part about my life, very depressed & I’ve had it ever since I can remember. I think about ending it ever single day. Why would god give something so terrible to us. I don’t wish this on anyone I just wanna be normal man.
Accept what God gives you, my beloved friend. Do your best to improve it, yes, but accept whatever it's there. it will go away eventually if we dont run away from it. Try to have a better life too, learn something new, don't feed negative thoughts, be humble. LDN may help too. Good luck!
I know what you mean. Life is full of challenges, even though this is one of the worst. But since it's tough, you make the cost and suffering worth while by growing and learning from it. If you can endure this, you can handle any other problem in life and you can be the support other people need in their time of trouble.
God didn't give this world to us, we created it with our free will. Depression is repressed anger, let yourself yell and get it out of your body that you've stored for years because this world we created teaches that feeling emotions are bad. Your emotions are valid. You are loved. Keeping loving who and what you love.
Please try LDN for depression. Just beginning to feel some relief after many hrs of misery. Take it slow but stay on it and give it the opportunity to help you. I get mine on line from AglessRx. No charge for dr. $35 mo for LDN.
My doctor suggested that we might try this at my last appointment. I see him again in a week. I'm definitely asking him for the prescription. Luckily there's a compounding pharmacy in my area who can do this but you can also order online through Lee Silsby.
Few weeks ago I started 1.5 mg LDN but I haven’t seen much difference in my nerve pain symptoms but it’s helping me sleep a little better when I wasn’t able to sleep before & I’m getting the vivit dreams that LDN is known to cause. That dreams part I can do without but I’m trying to be patient and see if it can help my pain. I understand that it takes a while up to 3 months for me to see improvement in my pain levels and I’m nervous to ask for a higher dose because I’m extremely sensitive to many proscribed and over the counter meds or supplements. DIM is one example of a supplement that most people tolerate and get many benefits from but my stomach & lower intestinal track can’t tolerate it
Amazing video, thank you so much! I’m also a chronic illness sufferer and can totally relate to how you need to become your own researcher like this. I defo have my 10.000 hrs into RLS at this point, which is what led me to this video. Also, what song is that? Loved the sound! Hope you’re doing well🌷
what is your max dose now? I’ve been on it for two months now worked my way up to 4.5 but it appears to be too much. Think about starting back over with 1.5.
I tried LDN at 0.175 and 0.350mg roughly. For me it exhacerbated all my yeast infections and made me feel incredibly bad. Took it for 3 weeks with 2 week at first dose and 1 week at second. Within 3rd week my throat was so raw and sore, my body felt achy and like I had the flu, tired, brain fog increased and just felt generally ill. I believe it upped their oxalate waste production, whIch is something I struggle with in food / yeast to begin with. So it seems if you do have yeast overgrowth it can backfire. Just a heads up to go really slow. I'm in the 10-20% pool of people who react poorly to it.
I suffered from yeast overgrowth in my system for years and it continually got worse. My doctors and even urgent care couldn’t help and it got so bad that I desperately tried to figure out how to get rid of it and decided to go carnivore and eliminate everything else from my diet. It’s been about two months and I haven’t experienced any of the problems that I was having. My skin has cleared from the horrible rashes, abdominal pain, joint pain, and the bloating are gone.
I gave it a 9 month try, but couldn’t get passed .75mg without feeling a noticeable low mood 😚 I switched over to Kratom 🍃which I have been daily dosing for a little over a year now,… it definitely helps with pain, and at the beginning the ‘feel goods/motivation’ are amaZing. However, like most things, that doesn’t last !! …If anyone would be interested in some decent links, let me know 🥰
@@MitziHart thx for responding... Ugh. Good luck with the kratom i had yo many issues with that on half gram dosing even. Sweating profusely, severe stomach cramping , hair loss. etc. Tried different vendors strains etc. Best to you on your wellness journey. 🙏✨
I watched one of your older videos which mentioned blocking histamine in the gut. Turns out that was my problem. So first of all thank you! I found out once I took a PPI and all my sinus symptoms disappeared. If I stop they come right back. But I can't take them long term because they have some serious side effects. so I was wondering if you've had success with OTC H2 blockers like DAO enzyme supplements or anything of that sort?
Hey Michael, glad to hear at least you know the cause of your problems now! Sorry I’ve never tried those other medications so I don’t know. Ask your doctor about Cromolyn (gastrocrom) if you haven’t tried it. It’s a mast cell stabilizer. Mast cells produce the histamines that’s causing your problems
Hello 👋 Do you have any links for LDN on treating allergic disorders or MCAS). I have MCAS and POTS. I’m currently taking multiple high dose allergy medications and Xolair injections, but it’s just not enough. I went from mountain running to bedridden overnight. Strangely I developed random anaphylactic reactions to basically everything. I don’t always have a specific trigger. It’s so bizarre and unbearable. I’m hoping the LDN can help calm things down or at the very least help give me enough energy to consistently exercise so I can get healthy again. My doctor said he just needs some studies. I can’t seem to find anything specific to allergy or MCAS or even dysautonomia/POTS. Maybe he could prescribe it for my daily pain. I’m allergic to NSAIDS so my pain meds are limited. So sorry you have similar experiences in life. I’m happy you found some meds to help. As much as I hate medication I wouldn’t be able to live without them 😬 Hope you get this and are able to help
I just started LDN for MCAS/HAT Also have POTS. Early on my initial dose. Mild headache the first day. Vivid dreams. Slept harder then I usually do so that has been a plus. To early to know if it will do well. My H2 blocker made me to temper mental with people. Will see if LDN helps.
Just got a prescription which arrives in the next few days. Starting on 0.5 mg and then I have been told to increase over a few weeks. Are you still using this treatment and do you feel like you are still benefiting? Thanks for the videos I have watched a number of them 👍
Yup! I'm still using it and i continue to improve every month. Hope it works for you! It's slow at first, but when you hit the right dose, it should be obvious.
Hello. I'm currently taking about 2 grams of kratom a day to help with anxiety after being in recovery from heroin. I've been clean since August 2022. Will taking the ldn (2.5mg) while on kratom cause precipated withdrawal ? Thanks
@John F at a tobacco store near me in pa. They also sell it online cheaper. Do u know what kratom is? If u dont, Before you get mixed up in it, it has addictive properties like say a low mg percocet. Which we all know can suck just as bad as dope. Just an fyi
Very informative! Thank you. I’m curious: From the research I’ve done, ldn, dupixent, and allergy shots work similarly. However, allergy shots seem to be the only long term solution IF you are sbke to correctly diagnose the allergens you are reacting to? Dupixent and ldn seem to only work while using but no long term benefits. Once you stop, the benefits stop? Have you done allergy shots or can you not tolerate?
Wow its amazing finally you found medicine firs for you i hope i can get that alhough my case is not ezcema...its ok for me to take that?thanks for your video its inspiring stay safe and enjoy life God bless you always...
@@JeffreyLin do you have any tips regarding detergents? everywhere I look they have fragrance or Parabens which I'm allergic to. my biggest enemy is contact allergies and flare ups without knowing what's caused it. I've just come off methotrexate so maybe its a little adjustment period. Thanks Jeffrey
I use the brand “All” (free & clear version). I also add a tiny bit of bleach, and use double rinse to get all the detergent out. Methotrexate might have something to do with it if it was obvious that’s when the changes started happening with your sensitivity. I didn’t go well with methotrexate either, but for different reasons.
I can vouch for All washing detergent. It's the only detergent I can use, especially during my TSW, as my skin is extremely sensitive during this period in my life.
How do you get your pills? I get mine from doctor but is there another way to get it cuz they only prescribe 50mg and it’s hard to cut the tablets, I get it down to 12.5mg roughly
When you’re testing to find your perfect dose, take it at night since you might get drowsy. Your perfect dose should help you feel energized, so once you find that, you can try taking at different times of the day to see when it has the best effect for you.
I also meant to ask how long it took you to see improvement. I'm currently taking 1.5mg, and have only been taking it for a few days. I'm sure that everyone reacts to it differently, but I am curious to know when you started feeling a bit of relief.
Probably a month or so. But I continue to see improvements every month and I’ve been using this for a while. Did you have trouble getting LDN? Curious what other people’s experiences are
@@JeffreyLin I spoke with my allergist, he did some research, and he agreed that it would be good to try. He actually thanked me for bringing it to his attention lol. I mentioned you, so we are both very thankful for you sharing what's been helping you!
Hey Jeffrey, love your videos. It was because of you that I got on Dupixent and it’s been amazing. My only problem area that the Dupixent seems to not do much for is my face. I’m always really red and always peeling. I was wondering if you had a similar experience and if this treatment helped.
Hey Brendan! Glad to hear you’re improving. Yeah I had that happen on and off for the first year I was on Dupixent. I’m still on Dupixent now, but as you see in this video, I’m doing great. My personal experience is the face flare is Dupixent healing your skin...your face just might take longer due to your eczema type or the medications you used before. I showed the red and peeling in my first Dupixent video (Ep.119) and Ep.215. The other possibility is the Dupixent dose you’re using is too strong. I did injections every 8-weeks for a long time. Now I’ve slowly increased it to every 6-weeks. You may have to find your perfect dose yourself.
Interesting. Have you seen any improvements? If so, what ways have you improved. All the research I’ve seen has been below 0.5-5mg, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a “right” answer
I'm 8 weeks into TSW after using many different corticosteroids throughout my adolescence. I'm 18 now and would like to know if you think LDN would help me?
Hey Keyara, LDN should help since LDN can speed up healing and reduce inflammation naturally. However, I don’t know how much improvement you will have because it depends on your individual body, how bad your TSW is, what other underlying conditions you have, etc. You should definitely try it if you can, but you might need other treatments as well.
Thank you for making this video. My doctor has given me low dose naltrexone, but one of my concerns is weight loss. I’m already very under weight. Is it going to cause me to lose more weight or worsen my appetite? Thank you.
I take it before bed, but if you find that it works for you, you can play around with the timing to see what works best. I've taken it in the morning and afternoon and felt the same benefits.
This video is over a year old based on the posts. How are you doing now? We’re you able to stay on the low dose and is it still working. Very interesting.. I hope you are doing great.
I'm planning to use this for my testosterone levels to go back to normal after an anabolic steroid cycle. I've heard it helps, but not much info out there i believe?
Interesting! Keep me updated if your levels go back to normal. I guess theoretically it can work, but not much info and no medical studies that I know of.
I take it at 0.01mg ultra low dose. Everyone is different. If it is too low for you, you can titrate up every 2 weeks until you find the most relief of your symptoms.
I live on an island in the Caribbean. Ik have CRPS. We have no compounding pharmacy. Only 24.000 people live here. I need a really low dose and can not get that here. 1.5 mg I do not tollerate.
Hi Theresa, sorry to hear. Yeah, LDN is still very hard to get, even in the U.S. Hope you find some way to get it, or can resupply when you go to the mainland somewhere with a compounding pharmacy.
I just recently commented on this drug on the Swedish medical Channel. Another serious thing people need to take into mind is if you have had a serious head injury do not take this drug. It actually says it in the rare serious side effects. I now have to deal with lifelong idiopathic intercranial pressure which is making me lose vision, severe headaches that make me feel like I'm going to die, pressure behind my right eye so bad that it's making my right eye swell so badly that it feels like I have to hold it in at times, ive had to have 2 lumbar punctures that drained 50% of the fluid from my spinal cord to manage it. The last puncture destroyed my back. And here's the kicker....im only in my early 30's. I have now also developed 2 brain lesions in the area of the brain that effect mood and memory. Please everyone stay safe and consider alternatives to this drug as it is very dangerous.
TSW happens when steroids disrupt your immune system and ability to self-heal...that can happen if you have a bad reaction to steroids or if you’ve been on steroids for a long time and your body becomes dependent on it
Dissolve the tablet in a 50ml bottle of distilled water, and then dose in whatever increment you want from there. I started with 0.5mg but you can go lower or higher.
