@A MyFibroTeam Member You have to start off slowly with a small dosage and increase the dosage until your pain get better. It does not help with fatigue. I haven't found anything that helps with fatigue. I have blood work done routinely to make sure I am not having any issues with my liver. I have not had any side effects from LDN. I hope it helps you! :)
I tried it and it made my pain worse, I have been told by the Dr. It works, but not for me

Yes @A MyFibroTeam Member I take 25mg a night my doctor said I can take 50mg if I am in a bad flare. The tablets come in 50mg and I cut them in half.
No side effects. If you are on FB type in LDN and the first 3 or 4 groups are the ones I am in. Look in their file sections. Lots of info. Nice people in the group.
I've read research that it has worked for MS and other autoimmune diseases. I was on Tramadol but I found that I was taking it when I wasn't even in that much pain and I realized that I was becoming addicted to it. I went cold turkey and had a horrible time dealing with the extreme sadness/depression that comes after stopping Tramadol. But that was just me. Because of what I read, the LDN is out of your system by morning, so I don't see why you can't take pain medications during the day, as long as they are out of your system by the time you take the LDN. I was told by my doctor that the low dosage is almost at a homeopathic level.
