Before trying a new drug, please check out LDN - low-dose naltrexone, which I started taking in early 2025. It helped me tremendously by relieving my pain and ending my severe insomnia. It's safe and had no bad side effects for me, except for vivid dreams (not nightmares tho). Drawbacks are that you must get your prescription filled at a compounding pharmacy, it's not covered by insurance, and it takes a few months to work up to the maintenance dose and then can take a couple months to notice benefits. Also, I read that it doesn't benefit everyone. It costs me $115 for a 3 month supply.

Here's one article on it, there's any more on-line: https://www.verywellhealth.com/low-dose-naltrexone-ldn-for-fibromyalgia-cfs-716070

My constipation was cured when I started taking 250mg of magnesium glycinate every night an hour before bed. I started it because it relaxes muscles and helps with sleep. But it also cured my constipation. Before that, I had to take Miralax every day.

@daisy17 would you say LDN helps with inflammation?

@daisy17
Hi, i just read your story and I’m going to try LDN. I found your write up very helpful. Thank you.

@daisy17
I have just started on LDN. Can you tell me what mg you were started on? Also, my prescription was $198 for one month. Was your compounding lab associated with Walgreens, CVS, etc. or was it a stand alone compounding pharmacy? Thanks!
