Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I take LDN for Crohns and in February tore and detached a retina due to scleritis of the eye, another autoimmune syndrome. The retina specialist put me on 80mg of Prednisone per day. However it did not seem to be doing its job in reducing the inflamation of the eye. I posed the same question on this and another forum, plus asked a compunding druggist if there was any chance the LDN was negating the Prednisone. I got no definitive answer. Meanwhile, after several weeks my eye was getting worse, now with 20/200 vision, legally blind. Not a good position to be in. I made the decision to stop the LDN since while taking 80mg of Pred, a Crohns flarup was not too probable, plus I could just resume the LDN when the eye issue was through, one way or the other. I stopped the LDN for a month and continued with the 80mg of Pred. The inflamation went down. The retina re-attached and my vision improved to 20/70. I am now tapeing off the Pred @ 20mg, and have been back on the LDN for about two weeks and while I haven't yet got all my vision back, (20/60) the retina has healed. Coincidence? Maybe so but that's my experience. Dave D .. > > Has anybody used LDN while needing a dose of steroids??

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi Dave, Very pleased to hear your eye's improving Dave. I just sent you an email but received a delivery failure notice saying 'user account over quota'. I'll do a re-send later in the hope your account's been freed up.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 1,000mg OF PREDNISONE. WOW! That is a bunch! Well Arjan, maybe my Prednisone dose was too low and not really being negated by the LDN like I surmised. Just out of curiosity, what were the side effects beyond the usual mood swings, moonface, increased appitite, bone density, and muscle cramping of that large a dose?
