I started on 4.5mg of LDN on 2/7/2011, and am still bleeding at a 10.

When I spoke with the compounding pharmacist, she mentioned that I may not be absorping the LDN properly, and suggested I switch to a transdermal LDN formula, which would be a cream applied to the bottom of the forearm. SHe told me alot of her pediatric patients do much better with the Transdermal LDN, and in some patients with absorption issues it helps too.

To date, I've lost 27 pounds and counting... can only tolerate protein shakes, and protein, approx. 800 calories a day.

Anyone hear anything about the Transdermal LDN?

Thanks!

I use Transdermal LDN. It is easy to use, I apply it to my inner arms each night, alternating arms. There is also another user or two on here who use Transdermal LDN. If you google it you will find some info by Dr. McCandless. She first developed it Autistic children and in one of her trials she did she had a few Crohn's patients who also used it with some success.

How are you doing with remicade? I already lost 40 pounds. can't afford to lose any more. I would look like a walking skelton?
I am waiting for my insurance to approve me for it. Then I guess my Dr. will start me on it.

Did you mean Transdermal LDN or Remicade?

Are you using both?

BeeSting,

When did you start using LDN? Which type of LDN are you using - oral vs. transdermal? And if oral, with which filler? Which dosage?

Have has it any difference in how you feel?

I am strictly on Transdermal LDN, with on occassional Canasa suppository. I started on my transdermal LDN on March 7th and have been doing better and better, going into remission.

From all I have read, any immuno-suppressant drugs like remicade, TNF, etc... will hamper LDN's effects.
