YEAH - finally got an Rx for LDN!!...but should I use it?

[Guest guest]

The fifth of my army of doctors that I asked gave me a prescription. Skip's

said I should have my order next week (1.5 mg - month 1). My neuro, who knows

me well, and who I respect greatly, was opposed to it (I can't wait to tell him

I'm taking it. Ugh.).

Besides FMS, CFIDS, and the usual players; i.e., IBS, migraines, asthma, nightly

leg spams, major insomnia, interstitial cystitis, Sjogren's, depression (of

course), and new back problems (had a series of lumbar epidurals recently, also

periodically receive trigger point injections for neck and back pain), blah,

blah, blah, I have some weird esophageal dysmotility problem, demyelination, two

pituitary tumors being watched (just had annual brain MRI) and dysautonomia

(small fiber neuropathy and neurocardiogenic syncope). Am on 12 meds and more

supplements.

Since the doctor who gave me the prescription is more familiar with Naltrexone

as used for rehab, and not the uses of the Low Dose form, does anyone see any

obvious reason why I SHOULDN'T take it (I'm so excited to try it, but didn't get

a good answer out of my neuro as to his objection)? I understand the dosing

schedule and feel I have learned enough to know what to expect and what not to

expect.

Thanks!!
