Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this question, but ere goes anyway. My son is on autism spectrum, some DAN (defeat autism now doctors) have begun prescribing LDN as a transdermal cream and apply to children with good results. I have started my 7 y/o son last Saturday. Since starting, I have been feeling like crap, achy, flu like, migraines, which take several hours to abate if the do at all, the cream is absorbed thru the skin, and since I am applying it w/o gloves, I must be getting some of it too. I don't have any autoimmune problems as far as I know, but my reaction to this has me wondering what is going on, does it mean I could benefit from a prescription dose for myself, or I should be wearing gloves. AS it is clearly doing soemthing to my immune system, good or bad I cant figure out. Since this form of treatment for autism is so new, there is no one I can ask in regards to my own health. Thanks if anyone can give me any info as to what it may be doing to me. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN can cause someone with Lyme disease feel this way also. Start using gloves and see if the symptoms go away. What dose are you giving your child?

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 The cream is in a 3ml syringe each ml contains 2mg, so he is getting 2mg per night. Thank you for your input, makes me wonder what I have now that I had such a reaction to it. > > > > I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this question, but > > ere goes anyway.
