@onpainsufferer LDN really started working for me about three months in at 3 mg but every long covid patient I have talked with is different. Some have relief at .5 and other had to go up to 6-8 mg.
I get better relief now at 5-6 mg per day. Take it first thing in the morning. It cuts my inflammation by about 50% (so much less pain) and after a year on LDN, I have much less fatigue and exercise induced malaise. I can walk about 7/20 of a mile every morning and have good energy if I practice extreme pacing (breaking tasks into smaller steps with lots of rest). I usually lay down about 1 pm and then have enough energy to get up at 4pm and cook dinner and converse with family. It is nothing like my precovid life but also nothing like the 1 1/2 years in bed post covid!
I get my LDN formulated at a compounding pharmacy into a pretty much tasteless liquid with no other additives like they put into the pills. I do not have any side effects unless I take it late in the day when it will give me insomnia.
