Re: for ME/CFS

[Guest guest]

Hi - I am just starting too, and both afraid to hope, and afraid not to hope! And, I wish I had a real-live person checking with me; but I am grateful for this group From your post I gather you will take 1.5 for one month and then 3.0 for the second month...correct? I guess the third month at 4.5? Continue at that dosage but then down if you feel you are worse? My bedtime is never later than 9:30 and I plan to take my dose then....tomorrow....I usually take a melatonin/valerian/B6 cap and a calcium/magnesium//iron/VitD pill at bedtime....Is it OK to take these with my LDN dosage. Thank you, Virginia

Thank you, it is so hard to know whether to take supplements on an empty stomach or not since the FDA went after the companies and many are all covering their backs so they are not accused of making false claims or prescribing. I started my ALA today and I ate, so, I will not do it the same way tomorrow.

I received my LDN finally. I have a months worth 1.5 and then 3.0 for the second month. My Dr was not sure how to prescribe it so he spoke with someone at Skips Pharmacy.

I am nervous about starting it. I have been reading on and off for over a year as I tried to get one of my Dr's to write me a script.

I have a problem with chronic yeast as well as sleep disorder so I am a bit worried about the first few weeks as well as "rebound effect".... The man I spoke with at Skips told me LDN does not make yeast problems worse he said we already have it ....we will see, time will tell. If I can afford it I am going on a gluten free diet. Gluten free products are very expensive and many of them have a lot of sugar in them in my experience.

I had my thyroid meds changed back to Armour Thyroid now that they are producing it again. I had many side effects from Levothryoxin! Though it did take my body temp from 97.0 up to 98.0 and stopped my hair from falling out, however, the side effects were horrid!

I have had CFS for over 20 years and FM for over 15 years plus a number of other issues.

Thank you all for your support.

I have started to buy my supplements from Swanson- https://www. swansonvitamins. com/

I was using Vitamin Shoppe and Iherb but the prices are better, does anyone know anything about Swanson that is negative?
