Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I have to confess - I too have been unfaithful to LDN - by lurking off to spend time with some energetic steroid (Prednisolone is her name). I have thought that I needed to stop LDN and revert to the steroids for activity-dependent holidays like tall ship racing but I am beginning to think again about such a need. I don't mean the need to stop one before taking the other as I know they are not compatible, I mean why bother at all? I stopped my last course of oral steroids four weeks ago. It is now 4.15 am. I have so much energy that I have completed the washing up from last nights supper (without the dishwasher), solved several work problems and can almost race about the house so much that even the cat scampers out of my way! I found that when I have been 'coming down' from taking the oral prednisolone, I became 'flat'. week and generally unable to function for weeks. Returning to LDN takes about two weeks before I am bouncing again. I understand that there are conditions which benefit from an occasional course of steroids, but in the absence of ACTH (the natural steroid producing treatment) don't oral steroids above 7 mg per day actually turn off your own body's production and replace it? By the way, I use half a 50mg Naltrexone (Revia) tablet dissolved in distilled (purified) water to make 25ml solution. Then 3ml equals a 3 mg dose - which lasts in the fridge for 8 days. Simple and very cheap! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
