Re: thyroid and other problems

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I don't want to freak you out, but have you ever been tested for the Hepatitis C virus? - Lichen Planus is very common in folks with this virus - according to this report, 60% of people with lichen planus have a history of hepatitis.

But however it is being caused , the LDN should probably help it in the long run - A lot of times, people have worsening of symptoms in the beginning, particularly skin disorders. Give it some time - and you might also consider a gluten free diet, which will also help.

"Studies have found that up to 60 percent of people with lichen planus have a history of Hepatitis C. For this reason, it has been recommended that people with lichen planus (especially with elevated liver enzymes) should be tested for the Hepatitis C virus."

Good luck,

Hi Margaret,

You do NOT need to stop the LDN for local or even general aesthetic. Those

are not opiates. You DO have to stop LDN if you will require opiate pain

relief after the dental treatment (such as vicodin or codeine), but

aspirin, ibuprofen, etc., are safe for use for pain relief, and non-opiate

sedatives are fine (like valium). If you have concerns, call your dentist's

office now and ask if you'll require any opiates.

I don't know anything about the Lichen Planus-- I'm sorry. I have

vitilago, a skin-pigment autoimmune, in addition to Hashimoto's and

fibromyalgia. The vitilago has not gone away, but I don't think it is any

worse. I started LDN in Dec 2009.

wishing you well,

In case you want two opinions, I concur with .  the only problem you would encounter if given opiates for pain relief is that your pain would not be relieved, but that is all.On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Baker <vbaker@...> wrote:

That's why I suggested she call the dentist. The practitioner doing the

procedure should always be consulted.
