My LDN story -OMG and Hashimotos

I was diagnosed with Ocular Myasthenia Gravis in January. My symptoms included persistent double and blurry vision. I was prescribed Mestinon and this did help some with my DV. I have asthma and bronchiectasis. I was having difficulty with my breathing when I took enough Mestinon to help vision. My neurologist suggested adding steroids and several drugs that are immunosuppressants. I don't want to suppress my immune system. I want to support it. After doing some research I discovered LDN. My neurologist agreed to prescribe this. I stopped the Mestinon and started titrating LDN in May. I reached the normal optimal dose in August. On Sept 9 I realized that I went the whole day without double vision! I still experienced some blurry vision, usually later in the day or when tired. My neurologist agreed to have me bump up my LDN. I was taking LDN in the morning because of LDN causing insomnia. Now I take half in the AM and half early afternoon. After 3 weeks my blurred vision is gone as well!
Additionally I have Hashimotos. I have been taking Armour thyroid for several years. Since starting LDN my TPO and TgAb antibodies both dropped. As a bonus, my hair is no longer shedding!
Also my liver enzymes had been elevated and are now in the normal range.
I'm definitely a fan of LDN! It's worth the effort of pushing through temporary side effects like the headaches and finding the right time and dosage.

I use it too. I have two autoimmune conditions and I think it helps with inflammation.
