Hi, Im new here and my 5 y/o son just started LDN 2 nights ago.

We decided to give LDN a try for a few reasons that all seem to lead to

inflammation. He has a right thalamic brain tumor.. appears to be low grade

glioma, possible astrocytoma (due to size and location, unable to biopsy at this

time). We have been lucky enough to keep it stable with lots of suppliments and

diet. He also has sensory processing dysfunction, speech apraxia and is

globally developmentally delayed. What put us over the edge is he had a bad

case of bronchitis a month ago. The doctor ordered albuterol via a nebulizer

(this kid does not have asthma) and shortly after he developed verbal/motor

tics.. We stopped the medication but the tics have stayed. We tried clonidine

but with no success, and after stopping that his tics actually increased along

with his anxiety. By this point I researched every possible " underlining " cause

I could think of and only 1 thing could explain all of his issues.. immune

system issues w/ inflammation. Tomorrow he will have bloodwork to rule out

PANDAS.

So my question is, has anyone sucessfully used LDN for any of these issues, and

for immediate purposes have you sucessfully used it and seen improvement with

verbal/motor tics (regardless if they were induced by a stimulant)?

Thanks
