I am taking 3 mg of LDN. However it does state not to be taken with methotrexate. I have been taking both together but need to find out why it is not recommended.
The LDN has been a life saver

See a pain management doctor. Dont be afraid to keep swiching doctors until you find one that takes you seriously. Maybe even switch health care providers. I had to go to 25 doctors over 5 years before getting a diagnosis. Keep on them and write down your symptoms clearly to give to them.And never give up !!!! You can get to a better place.

Kim, I so feel for you. I have had days where I have laid in bed crying, asking God to please end the pain or take me away. If you have tried every doctor you can get to, then perhaps you could try a naturopath. Not sure if I am spelling that right. Try a heated blanket or a hot bath with epsom salts. I am praying for you Kim. Look for the good in your day. Not great advise I know. Hang in there.

I have been on LDN for about 6 months. It has done wonders for me. I have reduced greatly the number of meds I take and seldom need my Norco anymore. When I do I simply take it 6-8 hours before taking the LDN. I buy my LDN from outside of the country and do my own componding-which is a simple matter of dissolving the tablet in distilled water and keeping it in a dark colored jar.

I have been taking LDN for almost 2 months now. Already the first morning after I started, the brain fog disappeared. After a couple of weeks the fatigue and pain also went away. It’s like a miracle. I recommend it for anybody with fibro. In some cases, it takes longer to get results though, so be patient if you decide to try it.

I started LDN one month ago at a very small dose 1.5mg, I had amazing results overnight, I now plan to up my dose by .5mg every week to two weeks to see if the result can be better, there are many resources online including groups on Yahoo as well as FB for those interested in trying this amazingly simple, low side effect, and promising treatment, I got my life back and my children have their mom!

My ESR was only 2 when I started LDN, and I had a wonderful, overnight response. I was not stiff as a board the morning after my first dose, I could walk without holding onto walls, my brain fog lifted, my pain was relieved (this took a few weeks for complete relief) and my energy was improved. I have been on LDN for 2.5 yrs.

If you have a low ESR, it is still worth giving LDN a try.

I started on Low Dose Naltrexone about two weeks ago. I don’t know if it is working yet. I had diffisulty sleeping the first week, however, that side effect seems to be easing. I do have strange dreams, but I can live with that if this drug can help ease my pain. Time will tell.
