Advice on use of LDN for lupus

[Guest guest]

Open to all that have had experience, advice or thoughts on the use of LDN for lupus.

Asta (my wife) has had lupus for the past 9 years.

Her medication consists of- Prednisolon 5mg/day

Hydroxychlorin 300mg/day

Azathioprinum 100mg/day

To balance her hormones : Estrogen 2mg/day

Progesterone 8mg/day

I know not all of you are doctors, but since I started to follow and make the odd post, I have come to believe that there is indeed a great deal of knowledge and experience here, as well as the odd doctor. So the question is how does her medication possibly react with LDN?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Personally I have been using LDN for MS for 356 days, so far I feel it is holding or at least slowing my progression. Dx'd 1990, wheelchair bound since 2003. LDN has been of most noticeable benefit in bladder control and virtually total elimination of UTIs, ceased use of Copaxone (March 1 2005) and the need for courses of prednisone has ceased along with my biannual flares. My only regret is that I had not become aware of LDN earlier.

Thank you,

Hello,

I have been dx'd with SLE/RA for nearly 10 years and have been on a

very similar cocktail as the one you list. I have taken LDN for

about a year and there have been no contraindications. I have

noticed a huge difference in my fatigue levels and flare frequency.

There are people that say that the prednisone interferes with the

functionality of LDN, but I have been told otherwise by a Doctor

in " the know. "

I hope this helps.
