It's been a while since I've been on the website so I apologize if you've covered this. What is LDN?

Thanks,
Andie

@andie1228 it’s primarily an anti-opioid called Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), which is being used off-label for LC sufferers…

Some LC patients have seen symptom improvements - it has anti-inflammatory properties and can also help to calm the immune response.

However, it can also come with side-effects (vivid dreams, insomnia, lethargy, etc.)

Right now, it is all the rage for the healthcare systems that don’t know what else to do, which is also cost effective for them, so they can have the appearance of doing something while we wait for actual therapeutics and medicines that address the real issues behind LC.
