Lynda ========== Your mom could get trigger point injections of sodium bicarbonate and procain while she is weaning off the narcotic. She needs to be clear of narcotics for 14 days before starting LDN and she may need to start at 1.5mg of LDN for about 3 weeks and then up to 2.5mg for about 3 weeks and up more after that. If she's used long-term narcotics for pain she needs to start at 1.5mg LDN as 3.0mg or 4.5mg could accelerate her pain. She needs to start at a very low dose.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Thank you!! I will pass this information on to her. She is planning on taking all the info I have collected to her neruo this week. I just hope he will be receptive to using the LDN....My Dad is going to join the group as Mom doesn't use the computer. I am also going to search the archives for info about a conference in NY? My parents are interested in attending. This is wonderful news. Lynda > > Hi All > > > > How would one go about starting LDN if one is currently using a > > narcotic to control very bad pain?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Lynda, LDN does not work while using narcotic pain killer's. Regards, Tom [low dose naltrexone] What about pain? > Hi All > > How would one go about starting LDN if one is currently using a > narcotic to control very bad pain?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Lynda if your dad joins the group be sure to tell him to click Edit Membership and make his choice on how he wants to read the forum, if he doesn't edit membership the posts will come into his e-mail inbox and clog it up. You can read about the LDN conference that's next month at... http://www.low dose naltrexone.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
