Hi, anyone have any experiences using low dose naltrexone (LDN)? Heard great things about it and started it a few weeks back. Too soon to tell if it helps and I was wondering if anyone has used it long term and how it went........Don

    Hi, no you havent seen me before. Just found the site today and really appreciate it. 28 months into the battle and have been really down lately. Talking to folks with the same issues is really helpful. LDN is low dose naltexone, pioneered by Dr Bihari from manhattan. You can find more details at the low dose naltrexone homepage. Thanks for writing back, Don

    Welcome, Don. I'm so sorry that this terrible disease led you to us but so glad you are here! It took me over a year to find this site but I'm so thankful. I don't post very much either but just being able to read about others going through some of the same things that I went through really helped me and continually gives me the inspiration to not give up. You are not alone!
