Re: Dr McC asks if LDN has helped allergies or made worse

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have had allergies (hay fever) since childhood. Every Spring and Fall when things are pollinating the most, I experience a flare up in symptoms. I don't think that this has gotten any worse or better with LDN. It may be that pollen levels are very high this year, but this Fall I noticed my hayfever symptoms very early. No new allergies have developed. I have been on 3 mg of LDN since February 1, 2006.

I have been on LDN since the end of 6/06. Several people I know, my kids included recently were having their allergies flare with the change in season. I think my allergies were better than usual. I only got a sore throat (which others had as well). I wasn't giving the credit to LDN until I read this, now I am wondering.

I've been on LDN since March 2005 and my allergies do seem improved.

My sister told me that she had immediate cessation of her allergy

symptoms the day after she started LDN.

6 1/2 years ago, I had allergy tests done. I didn't think I had any, but turned out I had the usual wheat, corn, sugar, and dairy. They told me that I had internal symptoms. LDN hasn't seemed to change that. Marcie Bren <b63powell@...> wrote: Dr. McCandless asked me to post this here and she is wanting to know if you who have allergies, if LDN has made allergies worse

Pre-LDN, every year sinuses/allergies/hay fever? would be a nuisance. Since

starting ldn December

of 2003, no flare-ups with the allergies 'at all.' LDN?? more than likely.

Also, a friend who started on ldn 2 weeks ago for her RA has said it's

helped her allergies tremendously.

??

Sigh...yawn...back to sleep now. :-)

I have had problems with sinuses during the fall and early winter for

many years, but developed allergies about 4 years ago. All of this

was before LDN. Someone recommended grape seed @ 100 mg per day. It

solved the problem beautifully! Being on LDN has not changed the

improvement in the allergies or sinuses...but I continue to use the

grape seed daily. I have been on LDN for four months.

I do want to go to my old allergist. I had the prick tests done 2/2003, 1 & 2 months before starting LDN 4/03. I do believe I tolerate chocolate much better now... I've ran some tests along the way. When I first started it would trigger SX and I stopped, they went away.

Last November I started eating chocolate after halloween and it wasn't even giving me much in the way of SX. I stopped in February. I also had chocolate here and there in July...

I think all my allergies may have changed, another batch of those prick tests will show. But Chocolate has triggered many flares.. going back into the 70s. I also used to get headaches before big storms, it's been a long while since I got them. I used to get them like clockwork, could predict storms.. but not any more.. that's also since 4/03

I have also been amazed to find that while everyone around me is suffering from bad allergies this year, mine have been minimal or non-existent. I started on LDN in April.

I'm glad to hear that the Dr. is looking at this and I would be happy to answer any questions she has about my allergies and LDN experience.

I do have seasonal allergies in the spring and fall. I am having the stuffy nose and itchy eyes but I don't think it is much different than before LDN.

December will make three years that I'm on LDN at 3 mg. Before LDN I

never had allergies. Since being on it, however, I sometimes become

itchy, particularly in the Spring.

[Guest guest]

I have been on LDN for six months now.....Allergies worst....well...I

feel like they are. As I hack and cough. It is fall in Florida and

allergies are here. I can't really say LDN has helped my

allergies...but hey....LDN has helped me feel great in my MS

journey! Yippee! Health to All! Donna
