Interesting. That increases my sense that LDN might be the cause.

Could it induce withdrawal symptoms even if you do not take any

opiates?

I am not taking any opiates (I would have stopped them first

if I were). They make me vomit and get spacey and nauseated

and they make the room spin around. I was hoping that LDN

would help with pain.

I don't know if it is relevant, but I have what I think is

described as hyperalgesia. Surgery that was supposed to

require only half a Vicodin caused 15 hours straight of 9.99

level pain that morphine (to the point of disrupting

involuntary breathing and stopping urination) barely made a

dent in. Dentists require 3x the normal lidocaine dose.

I think that a GI said that I don't have Chron's. I don't

know if I was tested for gluten or, if so, how. I do not

eat wheat. Does that help?

Dr. Lowe (www.drlowe.com) has developed a protocol to treat fibromyalgia as hypothyroidism - and wrote a 1100 textbook/treatment-manual to back it up. The publishing company sells the book for only $100, or specific chapters for about 10-40 it looks like per section, but getting the whole book is MUCH more cost-effective though..Since hyperalgesia is one of the symptoms of FM, this might help. I think he found evidence that the hyperalgesia may be caused by a reversal of alpha- and beta- type adrenergic receptors, which is linked to thyroid hormone deficiency somehow. I haven't taken the time to read the whole textbook section of the book - dealing with my own thyroid issues which has been difficult.He describes FM as being often "set off" by some major stressor - be that physical or emotional. I suspect that this has something to do with setting off some MAJOR cascade failure in the HPA axis after a very large demand for cortisol. That would explain the puzzle of why not everyone with hypothyroidism (even untreated, which is most people with it..) has FM - even people who have had hypoT for years. Here's a link to a page that links to the publisher's e-chapter site: http://www.drlowe.com/emailnewsletter/2009archive7.htmJim
