Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hi Everybody, I've been on LDN for almost a week now - increasing slowly as my body doesn't do well adjusting to anything new - even nutritional supplements. I started at 1.5 mg and have worked up to about 2.6 mg. using liquid. The first night I slept so poorly, I could not function the next day so I skipped the next night's dose but have taken it every night since. Some of the side effects I have been experiencing are dizziness, stomach pains, gas, (tried taking with food but seemed to make no difference), all over sweating. These seem to be settling down a bit over the course of the week. Of course I am sleeping very poorly but was expecting that. I do take 5 mg. melatonin at night. I also have developed facial tics. Again these seem to be settling down somewhat. I was increasing .5 mg nightly but was feeling so absolutely awful the following day so now am increasing by about .2 nightly. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar effects. It is only because of the glowing reports here that I persist, in the hopes that it might be the answer for me too. I'm not taking LDN for MS as many of you are but rather for ME/CFIDS/FMS (Chronic Fatique Syndrome/Fibromyalgia). Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I am taking for CFS/FM with amazing improvement. My FM is basically gone withi a week. I am on month 2 and continue to improve. It is a slow process. I had severe sleep trobule which has stopped and now i sleep BETTER. It took a month for that. I alternate my liquid dose between 3.0 and 4.0 or 4.5 every night. I did experience herx's, sort of like fevers, swollen glands, my body started fighting infections. It was very strange. The low dose naltrexone was the turning point in my battle with CFS. The only other things i take are nattokinase, d-fraction, and magnesium/glutathione/b12 injections which i had been taking wit no results anyways. Stick with it, take it at night with nothing else if possible, make sure your dose is between 3.0-4.5 and take sleeping aids if needed causeit did go away for me.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Some notes on water…Steam distilled water carries a slight negative charge to it which helps to clear unwanted materials from cells. Try to avoid anything out of a tap. Chlorine, fluoride, etc… are all poisons and you do not need to do that to yourself. Private well water tastes better than city treated water, BUT carries bacteria and other not so wonderful things. Reverse Osmosis is better because it is very clean. Distilled is cleaner and as noted before is negatively charged to help with the evacuation of unwanted debris in the cells. As far as drinking, I don’t do tea, coffee, pop, milk….just water and water alone. Great stuff. Minimum one gallon per day for me. No one should drink less than 2 quarts daily.

A healing opportunity has been created for your body and things are getting all stirred up!!!!!!!!! I am betting you are very toxic- please don't take that as rude. When I started massage school a nutritionist came in and told us how much water we should drink. I raised my hand and said " but I don't like water " she retorted back " it is because you are toxic " After that I started drinking about 12 glasses of room temp water a day and haven't had a soda in over a decade. Often when there is a worsening of symptoms, it means it is really going to make a significant impact upon your health. God Bless, Kathy P. S. I love water now! It is so refreshing!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Yes, but don't forget if you are drinking that much water to take a quarter spoon of sea salt so you are not depleting minerals.
