Re: Ldn for Fibromyalgia - 3 success stories - anyone recognize their story?

[Guest guest]

Hi Aletha & Kelli,

Both www.casehealth.com.au and www.low dose naltrexone.org

carry the following three success stories which originated at www.low dose naltrexone.org.

Would be wonderful to gain updates.

If anyone recognizes their story and would like to update it, please send an email - happy to help with it.

Updated story would be uploaded to www.casehealth.com.au, and of course; a copy would be sent to Dr Gluck and for www.low dose naltrexone.org and www.ldnresearchtrust.org.

Regards,

Cris

Hang in there, N~~~~~~! My daughter has fibromyalgia. After a year and a half of suffering, she was finally diagnosed this past spring. She was fortunate because her neighbor (who also suffers from fibromyalgia) told her about LDN right away. It took around five weeks for the LDN to really kick in but kick in it did!

She is doing wonderfully now. She no longer tells me when she has a "good day" (which was never that good). Now if asked, she tells us she feels "normal". Normal...music to our ears!

FYI: She also uses an over-the-counter sleeping aid combined with the LDN

The sooner LDN is started after diagnosis of fibromyalgia the better the odds are for remission. After 2 years after diagnosis, the harder it is for a remission.

LDN takes away the a.m. pain and stiffness for me, and I have had it for approximately 20 years. It has worked very well for me after being on it for 6 months.

It takes time, getting the dose right, the right filler, (I am getting methocellulose, not Lactose) and the willingness to stick with it. Also, I take it about 11 p.m. now instead of 9 p.m.

I don't feel like I have been smashed by a semi-truck in the morning anymore. LDN works well for those with fibromyalgia. It is of utmost importance to get the deep sleep. It is during deep sleep that the body builds and repairs itself.

I have had FMS for around 20 years. I am also 52 years old. I have a pal that is part of this group who has MS.

She has encouraged me to give LDN a try. Just last week my Doc wrote me the RX. After only 5 nights on 3mg I can tell you that the fibro fog is lifting.

I am having WAY less pain, and way more energy than I have had in a very long time. Needless to say I am thrilled.

Although 5 days is hardly a fair trial period, I am still very excited about the changes I have experienced so far. I have noticed virtually NO side effects, other than feeling slightly "high". I can't complain about that. I would urge you to try this if you can.

Gather together all the info you can and bring it to your doctor. I printed almost everything from www.low dose naltrexone.org and also a few postingsfrom the low dose naltrexone support group.

My doctor knew nothing about LDN but she was willing to look at the info, and seeing that it could do no harm, was willing to let me try it. I know how frustrating living with FMS is.

I wish you all the best, hope that this may helpyou. I for one think that even feeling slightly better is a huge improvement.
