Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with GFAP autoimmune encephalitis in June 2024. My neurologist has prescribed high dose steroids to control the inflammation but reducing them proved difficult as I declined cognitively . Got stuck at 20mg and was starting with osteoporotic fractures. Neuro put me on Mycophenolate but that didn't work - reducing steroids had same effect - so the neuro increased the dose. My husband has done so much research and, among other things, identified LDN. I've been on it for 3 weeks now, starting at 0.5 mg increasing by 0.5mg each week. No negative side effects so far. I hardly dare breath it, but I think I have more energy and motivation (I'd forgotten how that felt), and I've started to reduce the steroids again and so far no negative cognitive impact. My advice? Give it a try as what have you got to lose?

Yes, a thousand times yes. I have been on it since 2019 and have no bad reactions to it. I started life with megraines and very hyper sensitive to every stimulus. I have several autoimmune diseases that LDN has helped and I am 79 now, so I must be doing something right.
