@db72 does anyone understand why Naltrexone is helpful for lc? How do you convince your doctor to prescribe when it is clearly formulated for addiction issues?

Here is the research to show your doctor, it is long known now that LDN helps. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10862402/
It is Low Dose Naltrexone that is helpful for LC (under 10mg), so not Naltrexone in the high doses that help with drug use.

@krutsala12 Naltrexone helps regulate the immune system at low doses and for me, it has taken away all of the pain caused by the LC inflammation...and gives you a little burst of energy about two hours after you take it. There is plenty of documentation for your doc on low dose naltrexone as it is being used for long COVID, chronic fatigue, myalgic encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease. ..to name just a few.
Here is a link to just one of multiple studies your doc can peruse:
