Well, here I am, day 6 of taking LDN...My energy is through the roof and I am losing sleep due to dreams and bathroom visits (still) and bleeding has yet to stop BUT, I am certain LDN is doing something...I can feel it...In the middle of the night, I can feel it...
The other night I had another great dream too...a Native American girl is dancing in the supermarket aisle and I am the only one around...She is singing in this beautifully toned voice "I have the cure for you"...woohoo!!!
As far as the Crohn's/colitis (which I don't believe I ever had) the episodes are UP, then DOWN...Saturday I felt GREAT!!! No gas, no leaking, no urgency and swelling and pain A/O were significantly decreased, I never had that on all the drugs they pumped in me...
The Fibromyalgia, the chronic fatigue, the joint pain are all improved in the first week and that's with cool, stormy weather in the Northeast...That's a HUGE improvement right there...
My husband asked about an update lastnite (I tend to keep it quiet from him because he was traumatized during my last ordeal) and I told him my progress and my problems, he immediately said 'doesn't it take like 2 weeks to see improvement in the colitis?) He's so smart!!! He remembers from all the reading he did searching for cure for me while I was hospitalized...Here is a guy who has significant memory issues due to PTSD (military service) along with epilepsy and he remembers that...My Knight in shining armor (well shorts and a t-shirt)
I think this is going to be some ride and many good things will come from it...Again, I don't believe my previous doctors were correct in anything, but esp. the diagnosis and my new docs also believe I do not have crohn's/colitis (whatever the heck you want to call it) but my liver, pancreas and my entire body took a good punch under their care and that all needs to be healed...The levaquin destroyed my tendons, the prednisone destroyed my bones, my brain was fried from the combination and now after 18 months, it's time to heal, hopefully completely...
We must all think outside the box and using our own gut feelings when dealing with these illnesses...Remind yourself, there is NO cause and NO cure...That just doesn't fly with me, but then again they say I'm 'different'
As for my biggest cheerleader Patti...How great of you for cheering me on and giving me the confidence I need to go further...HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY??? ANd anyone else on LDN, please post here too...We need some comradiere here...I know this thread is getting long and if mods think I should start another and delete this, please let me know...From my perspective, this is one of the most exciting treatments to date and I think that those that want to share their experiences should do so, it may change only one life but hey, that's good enough for me...One less person suffering like we all do...The more we learn about LDN and its abilities and side effects, the more we can ALL benefit eventually...
Have a great one everybody...I am off to the VA with hubby today, can you say stress? Rating exam time again and the anxiety goes through the roof when we are even just close to the building...I spent all afternoon getting papers together and writing reports for the bozos there...They likely won't even acknowledge I brought anything but it goes in his jacket and I can't tell you how much my lil notes scribbled on paper have improved OUR situation...So happy day everyone and Patti, keep those boogie shoes on and get ready cause I have a feeling we will be doing that happy dance together very soon
Peace~MamaDove
