Re: A list of approved pain meds with LDN??

[Guest guest]

I tried awhile back to get a list of "Approved Pain Meds" to be able to take with LDN and only got a list of "What Not To Take With LDN".

Leonie,Thank you for sharing. The pain meds I was taking are opiods which I understand cannot be taken with LDN. A list of "approved" pain meds would be great. I have had IC for a very long time and used to get DMSO treatments. Now I just manage with stress reduction, watching what I ingest and drinking lots of water. From what I read LDN doesn't have side effects. Its tough to tell what is happening because I went off all my meds the same day and waited 16 days before starting LDN. My symptoms could be due to having no depressants (opiods) in my system, my immune system kicking in and purging toxins or who knows. My osteoarthritis and fibro feel better, my IC feels under control but the intestines are attacking me. MISERABLE!!! MISERABLE! !!MISERABLE! !!!I did start drinking water with rice flour tonight and I am cutting out all sugar. My family knows this is serious for me

to give up sugar but for me it is a matter of life or death. I know sugar is so bad for you but some things are tough to break. At this point it has been very easy as that is how bad my insides feel. I will be sticking with LDN for the long term as I think that to see results especially with the intestines you have to be on it awhile. Besides some people who take it get smooth skin, thick hair and lose weight. I am waiting for those side effects. LOLGinny> >> > I wanted to jump in and introduct myself.
