Prescription should be written like this. Naltrexone Cream 4.5 mg/1 mL Apply 1 mL every night at bedtime. My doc dispensed a 90 day supply so I got 90 mL in 30 syringes....
Welcome back InSoFla....
This is a forum to discuss all types of treatments. People are asking for advice about treatments; if LDN is recommended based on an experience it should be discussed....
Well, in the absence of InSoFla I'll continue to spread the gospel about LDN based on my experiences....
Certainly ask him, and if he or she won't give you the prescription let them know you will still be taking it if you decide to do so. There are avenues to obtain the medication through overseas...
I'm glad you're back. It has starting working already. This is the first time in 2 years that I haven't had to go to the bathroom at 3 am in the morning. And I have tons of energy; never had that...
I've started liquid LDN tonight. I made the liquid( 1 mg/ 1 mL solution) from tablets that I obtained by alldaychemist.com. The LDN cream has helped the bleeding but I still have the urgency and...
Welcome. GEt the flare under control and then check out the many treatments that are here. I hope one works for you...
Most people gain weight on prednisone because the drug leaves you hungry, and the water retention is greater because the body has a harder time kicking out sodium out of the kidneys....
Wow, that wreckage of our diseased bodies gets worse and worse. I hope you find relief, bosnianboy...
I think we've all gone to that low point where the pain becomes unbearable and we'd like to be put out of our misery. This is a dreadful disease that no one should have to live through particularly...
Have you tried the liquid LDN? I'm going to make my own at home but I think the transdermal is kicking in. I've been on it for 15 days. It's gotten better since I dropped the gluten and each rice as...
These are all great success stories. Right now, I'm experiencing a lot of fatigue. Do you think this is normal on LDN? I'm going to order blood tests on Vitamin D, Iron, and B-12....
Also, in the future you may want to ask Skip if he can make sublingual drops. That maybe even more convenient for you, but the butterscotch troches are good as well!...
As a pharmacist, I may have to open a compounding pharmacy so I can help some people too....
It's easy to make the liquid. Dissolve a 50 mg tablet in 50 MLs of water to make a solution with a concentration of 1 mg/1 mL. Yeah, I recently purchased it from alldaychemist.com. Obtain a bottle...
Alldaychemist.com is who I ordered tablets from. I'm on the cream right now, but am breaking out in a rash in the areas I apply it to....
I've been unable to sleep comfortably for about a week, and I am very fatigued in the daytimes. Hopefully, this makes a difference. I'll let you know. Thanks for the suggestion Gonk! From...
I can understand his hesitation, but ultimately the decision is yours to make. And no flaring at any point in time is not alright....
Get on LDN....
Day 10 I'm having trouble sleeping at night due to the LDN. The insomnia is bad; I'm really fatigued. I've started taking it in the morning. I'm having flu-like symptoms at the moment as well(sore...
I hope it works., This is a dreaded disease....
My body is taking the medication in. I'm faithfully taking the medication every night at about 10 pm. At the moment, I can tell I am absorbing the medication because of the peredominant insomnia I am...
I'm on Slippery Elm, L-glutamine 15 g, and psyllium seed, along with 10000 IU Vitamin D. And VSL #3. I may have to go back on the SCD but I'm holding off for the moment....
I would definitely give LDN a try!!!...
Well, I haven't chosen to go the immunosuppressant role at this time because I do fear the long-term side effects of those drugs. If LDN does not work, I will have to consider them. I chose to take...
LDNsmyfriend, Are you on any special diet at all? I love hearing success stories like this!!...
Test....
Day 4. Definitely some vivid dreams, and insomnia. No blood in stools, still watery, and went 7-8x today. Typically, go 12-15x in a day. Some progress is being made, I hope. I am taking the slippery...
Low thyroid, vitiligo, and recurring eczema. Not fun....
Do it! I got through pharmacy school flaring 75% of the time, made the honor society, and graduated. It was difficult, and though I'm flaring today it's the best thing I did. I hope the LDN kicks you...
Thanks, just applied the cream now. Will wait 30 minutes and watch a soothing video for a good vivid dream....
InSoFla, I've done the SCD before but I am not on it now. I will go on it if necessary....
Brian, I forgot to ask. Are you on any special diet?...
Brian, you mention you are going once per day. HOw often were you going prior to LDN?...
Thanks Brian. I hope it continues to work for you as well!...
I take my first dose of transdermal LDN 4.5 mg tonight. I hope this will put me into a remission that has eluded me for 3 years. My last scope indicated inflammation throughout the colon, and I...
I completely understand what you are going through. I'm going through a 3 year flare as well, I've never been in remission the entire time except when I get on prednisone. I refuse to take any...
I'm waiting for my transdermal LDN to arrive but it's great GIs are starting to hear to about it....
Have you tried combining psyllium seed with VSL 2? This has worked for me....
I"m taking VSL with psyllium seed powder. So far good results. Went from 15x to 4 times a day. I still have to watch what i eat though. I tried SCD for a while, but was loosing too much weight....
Take some high dose probiotics or some SCD yogurt to rebalance the normal flora in your body....
Trust me the cravings will go away after a couple weeks, as you body adjusts to the diet. It took me about 4 weeks before I stopped craving all the crap they were cooking on the Travel and Food...
Yeah, I had an A-Ha moment. A-ha, certain foods are causing your colitis!!!...
I make a smoothie with 3 tablespoons of SCD yogurt, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 avocado, 1 banana, 1 cup of frozen fruit, 1/3 cup of orange juice, 1 teaspoonsful of honey. We're talking about...
I do wonder how I"m going to make it through this trip with my limited menu choices. I better just stick to fruits and meats, right?...
Your alteratives are biologics, diet modification(which I am an advocate of; 2 weeks of 40 mg of prednisone did nothing, and 7 weeks of the SC diet has me in remission), and finally surgery. From...
Food poisoning must still pale in comparison to having a flare. I'll be sure to give some probiotics with me at all times. I'm on the SC diet, so it's going to be a challenge to eat in Peru I'm sure....
My intention is to get as healthy as possible so I can hike Machu Picchu this June....
Most people are ignorant about inflammatory bowel disease, so I choose to keep them in the dark about my condition. I don't think you can really understand the extent of the suffering the disease...
