i only started LDN 4 days ago but my BM's have more then halved. i've been up for 7 ours and only used the toilet once in the morning, im currently tapering on pred and eachtime i dropped 5mg i would start heavily bleeding, i'm down to 20mg at the moment and my symptoms have gotten better rather then gotten worse.

i know its too early to tell yet but things are possibly looking good :D

and by halved, i was going about 6 times a day down from 10 - 15 and now im only going 2 or 3 :D

Anthonyv,

Glad to hear you are starting to feel a little better and getting some good results.

Don't forget when you wean yourself from prednisone, you have to do it very slowly as not to have a rebound effect.

Are you doing any diet modifications too?

That's great news. Hopefully you're able to taper off with the help of LDN. Are you still on all of the meds in your signature/ Wellbutrin? Aza? Colazal? Were you on these long before starting LDN?

How long have you been on AZA?
