Low dose naltrexone has definitely got quite a good following from people with MS as well as a variety of other autoimmune conditions. If you haven't already done so, visit the main information websites for it. I believe it is starting to be researched a bit more, even though as you say using low doses of it is still an "off-label" use.

Just be aware too though, that there are a load of meds out there being used "off-label" but very commonly - for example using amitryptylline for neuro pains and pain modification has been an "approved use" for quite some time, but using most of the other antidepressants for the same thing is still "off-label", and yet how many folk out there are being given other antidepressants for pain modification?

here is an article on the MS Society website that shows some research and info on the use of LDN mssociety.org.uk/ms-news-an...

Oh, you need to also be aware that you shouldn't take any kind of opiates (codeine containing meds, for example) at the same time as you are on LDN - it is an opiate antagonist after all, even at low doses

I have MS and was on LDN for a while. It didn't make the blindest bit of difference to me, unfortunately.
