Please let me know if someone is using LDN
I really need to find a specialist in New York who treat Sjögren’s disease with Low Dose Naltrexone. In United Kingdom that is the treatment specialists give to patients and I really would like to try. Thank you for your help!

I also wanted it for limited diffuse scleroderma and was able to order it online at first since my rheumatologist didn't want to prescribe it. After seeing improvements in my hand stiffness and skin he now has. However, my insurance won't cover it so I'm continuing to buy it online as it's less expensive than my local pharmacy.
I take LDN. The initial doctor who prescribed it was Dr Lisa Witkins in NYC (NY Presbyterian), a pain management specialist recommended by my rheumatologist. Now my rheumatologist is prescribing it herself (Dr Wejia Yuan - also in Manhattan), and I get it in the mail via a compounding pharmacy. It isn’t covered by insurance, so I try to at least get two months to cut back on shipping costs.
My rheumatologist wanted me to try it in addition to the Methotrexate and Cosentyx as she mentioned it’s used in Europe successfully as an anti-inflammatory and thought it might help. I figured I have nothing to lose, and I’ll give it a few more months. Best of luck!
Very kind to share! Thank you
