Re: Low dose naltrexone and low blood pressure / heavy feeling in the body

[Guest guest]

from what you describe you have adrenal fatigue.find a good doctor that

understand all the hormones .once you fix the adrenal i think the ldn will be

much easier to take.i do not say that you have to wait for ldn.use also much

celtic salt,it will help the adrenal aand your low blood pressure

Hi!

Thanks for your response. I was checked for 's disease in 2006 (I had a

period with constant low blood pressure), but the tests came out negative.

...but can LDN cause low blood pressure? Anyone heard about that?

Toril,

I have read somewhere that it can cause low blood pressure and

have found this out for myself. My blood pressure has always been on the

low side but my last reading 5 weeks ago when I was in hospital was something

like 99/64. I received good advice from this forum and if you do suffer

from low blood pressure I believe the two nutrients that would be

expected to increase blood pressure naturally are zinc, which stimulates

adrenal function, and phenylalanine, which contributes to the production of

noradrenaline, which increases blood pressure. Noradrenaline is also

produced by the adrenal gland so these two will expectedly work together to

increase blood pressure and vitality.

However, I may be wrong and perhaps Art / Zahiva / Cris can help

with this.

Best,

Jayne

Hi there.

I am so glsd to hear you are trying LDN for RA. have just thgis week jpoined

this group as I am in process of finding a supplier for LDN so I too may start.

I also suffer RA, and remain sure that Methotrexate or otherr high chemical

drugs which suppress my immune system cannot make sense for me.

I know what its like to fel alone in the process too, so wish you well in your

search. I keyed in Bihari LDN Rheumatoid to google and got good source info up

about doaseage and early side effects etc.

Wish you well in staying with your trial too. and encourage y9ou to keep writing

here.

I am in Northern ireland and trying to locate a supply as I doubt my docs will

prescribe. Are you anywhere near?

I alos nopte your suggestion of Fybromyalgia. I tyoo have queried this, as much

of my pain and debi;ity is in muscle systems not joints. I conclude though that

what is happening is a shortening of muscles and tendons especially after any

rest.

I use Technique to help me keep lengthening and have now started a

book of exercises for relief of chronic pain called 'PAin Free; and by Egoscue.

Its readily available on nternet and so far it make ssense and helps relieve

some pain and I onloy started a few days ago.

Good luck. If you find any research on LDN for RA I would really like to know

Cheers

I too, have Rheumatoid and Fibromyalgia, with stressed adrenals. I started LDN at 4.5 mg, but only experienced disturbed sleep the first few nights. I am taking Cytozyme-AD, 6 a day for the adrenals. I agree with Zahavi, that you need to get the adrenals straightened out. I believe taking LDN at night before bed is best because of what it does for the endorphins. I have chosen to stick with it even though I am still flared up. LDN needs time to work.

Best to you,

Jo

Hello, everyone!I've just started using LDN (1,5 mg) and need some advice.

Hello, Nuala!

Thanks for your long mail. I'm not living close no...I live in Norway. I'm using

a low dose of doxycycline (anibiotic) to keep control over my RA, believe it or

not! I think, without it, I've had to go back to metothrexate or whatever that

made me really sick. At least I would have to take cortisone injections in my

knees many times a year (as my knees tend to swell up as balloons). I started

using doxycycline for treating inflammation in my dry eyes (prescribed by my dry

eye doctor in France), and supprisingly it seemed to work on my RA as well. I've

been asking my family doctor if it can actually be the case that it's working,

but he seems to think it's all in my head. I've done some research on the net

though, and I've found many people experiencing the same as me.

Anyway..about the LDN, as I seem to have the inflammation in the joints under

control now, I wanted to try LDN, hoping to get less fatigue and muscle

pain,...and also, like I mentioned, to help on my dry eyes. I really hope I can

tolarate LDN,...I have the tendency to react weird on all kind of medications.

I'm the kind of person that seems to get all the less common side effects.

Thanks for your info. Stay in touch and let me know how it goes with your LDN

trial! I'll keep in touch as well.

PS: How old are you?

Is it possible that you have Lyme Disease? Many Lyme Literate Medical

Doctors (LLMD) believe that many people do not truly have arthritis, that it

is Lyme Disease. The fact that Doxycycline helps you makes me wonder. Doxy

is usually the first drug given to a Lyme patient.

Hello, Kenda!

That is a very good question indeed. I have been thinking about it, and also

read some about it on the net, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I've had

RA since I was around 5 years old, and at that time they tought it was psoriatic

juvenile arthrisis (but I've had very litte psoriasis, thank god). Both my

parents have muscle pain and rare episodes of psoriasis (but not RA), and I've

got a grandmother with Crohn's disease, so I guess my genetic profile shows that

it's a chance I have " real " RA. I don't have antibodies in the blood (common

with this type of RA, but also in reactive arthrisis, that can be a result of

Lyme disease).

I've heard that Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose due to inaccurate

bloodtests? I've heard many people getting negative blood tests, but having

Lyme's after all.

But yes...I am very surprised doxycycline is helping my joints this much!!

Hi Nuala there is a prescribing Doctor in kilmagoney Kilkenny.Dr Crowley.I get mine from him.

[low dose naltrexone] Re: Low dose naltrexone and low blood pressure / heavy feeling in the body

Hi there.I am so glsd to hear you are trying LDN for RA. have just thgis week jpoined this group as I am in process of finding a supplier for LDN so I too may start. I also suffer RA, and remain sure that Methotrexate or otherr high chemical drugs which suppress my immune system cannot make sense for me. I know what its like to fel alone in the process too, so wish you well in your search. I keyed in Bihari LDN Rheumatoid to google and got good source info up about doaseage and early side effects etc. Wish you well in staying with your trial too. and encourage y9ou to keep writing here.I am in Northern ireland and trying to locate a supply as I doubt my docs will prescribe. Are you anywhere near?I alos nopte your suggestion of Fybromyalgia. I tyoo have queried this, as much of my pain and debi;ity is in muscle systems not joints. I conclude though that what is happening is a shortening of muscles and tendons especially after any rest.I use Technique to help me keep lengthening and have now started a book of exercises for relief of chronic pain called 'PAin Free; and by Egoscue. Its readily available on nternet and so far it make ssense and helps relieve some pain and I onloy started a few days ago.Good luck. If you find any research on LDN for RA I would really like to knowCheersNuala(Gimley) >> Hello, everyone!> > I've just started using LDN (1,5 mg) and need some advice. > > I've got rheumatoid arthrisis (but not on any medications for it), Grave's disease (treated and under control), very dry eyes and something that I suspect to be fibrolyalgia (haven't got the diagnose, but surely got many of the symptoms).

As a reply to the above about troubles with LDN I offer the following from my

experience... When I began taking this med more than a year ago I could not

sleep at all & stopped it three times for this reason. Went down to half mg. as

I am using the liquid method & used various sleep aids to help. Slowly worked

dose up a little each week

& I am still @ 3mg. because of low weight.

Chamomile tea @ dinner, almost no caffeine at all, one or more of xanax,

melatonin, something called kali-phos, 5htp or valerian before bed. I play with

these & when one stops working, I switch.

Glad I stuck with it because I am fortunate to have had some symptom

improvements with energy, bladder & now can walk with a cane again &

I enjoy this with a passion. Took at least a month for symptom improvements.

Never had heavy feelings.

Keep at it if you can

>>my last reading 5 weeks ago when I was in hospital was something like 99/64.<<

This can be a red herring either way. A lot of patients have their BP rise in the doctor's office just out of nervousness. But in the hospital, while lying around snoozing and relaxing, your BP frequently goes down slightly if it is not too high in the first place. Consider the situation, how much caffeine one had had that day, or other variables.

From being on this list a long time, I have heard very little about LDN and BP issues.

From Dudley Delany's site:

" Some people have reported a modest increase in blood pressure associated with

taking LDN, while others have reported a decrease. "

My blood pressure after 5 years on LDN is higher than it used to be but

Dudley's sentence below leads me to surmise that as with many issues

people mistakenly try to attribute to LDN, it is due to other factors

altogether eg ageing and lifestyle.

Hi there,

I have experienced the exact same thing - a heavy, lead feeling. I think for

some, it reduces adrenal reserves that might already be low. Are you on thyroid

meds?

If you google blood pressure and infection you will find that infection can

cause low blood pressure. We just had a friend in the hospital with

infection in his intestine. His bp was extremely low.

A lot of us with a Lyme diagnosis that looks like chronic fatigue syndrome

have what is called neurally mediated hypotension. This means the brain does

not regulate the blood pressure well because the nerve links to heart and

legs is not well connected - thus when we stand for a length of time the bp

drops sometimes to the point of passing out. If you find you get a headache,

nausea or exhaustion standing in line at a grocery store you probably have

this problem.

it is not the infection that cause the blood pressure.it is the adrenal fatigue

because of the infection that cause the low blood pressure.one of the ways to

solve it is celtic salt,etc,etc,etc
