What exactly does low dose naltroxene (LDN) do for fibromyalgia?

@daisy17 Thank you.
Iii was just told I have Hashimoto's and now, a pill for that so I am further overwhelmed because Rhuem. Dr. didn't run the full thyroid panel 2 years ago like I requested ~ only the TSH. told me I had no thyroid issues. 2 yrs. of my life untreated. He assumed it was "unnecessary"
So I feel invisible and disrespected.
If I can find a new Dr. who cares enough to listen to me; maybe I'll try the low dose LDN.

@lena1 I also had thyroid issues start over 30 years ago. I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed then to biopsy a cyst that turned out benign. I was never told to start taking calcium so ended up with severe osteoporosis (I'm now 76). Two years ago I had parathyroid surgery and the surgeon removed my remaining thyroid because it was encased in scar tissue. I take Synthroid.

I fought for my hypothyroid diagnose too. I take Levothyroxine as well for it.
Yes they just check the basics..I went thru probably 10 doctors when I lived in Illinois. I found a great Endocrinology doctor in SD that tested everything and caught the hypo. He also diagnosed my bad gallbladder too, not in his field, when I was sent to the hospital for 14k in tests for my heart. It was a gallbladder attack... he caught it on a routine followup when I told him the issues I was having.
Look hard and Find the right dr! I saw Dr Chris Aakre at Mayo. He was excellant and very through. He took the time to look at all my past issues.. and didn't dismiss them. Toook 10 years to find the right doctors!
