Thank you Chris. I did a search on this drug and saw the low dosing data and micro-dosing too. The NIH paper 2018 is quite technical. Thankfully my spouse is a biochemist/ clinical pharmacist/ basic researcher. He gave a light read and will follow up. Sounds very promising. Did you stop the P and start the N at the same time or cut one and add the other? I’m two years in and I think I’m having a flare right now, the last week has been brutal. It’s my second attempt at tapering, honestly I couldn’t go much slower this time. Thanks for your information, really useful and glad you found a solution.

I hope you find the perfect timing to switch and get her off prednisone onto LDN..

I waited a couple of months after prednisone before starting LDN as I felt a flare coming on… I started on a very minute tiny dose and compounded it myself with my doctors permission until I reached 4.5 and got tired of compounding it and found pharmacy to send it to me every six months..

I’m glad you have your husband support and hopefully this might be an answer for you let me know how it works out…
