LDN decision with GP tomorrow, but does it have a negative effect on cortisol?

8 Replies

Hi everyone, My GP tells me tomorrow if I've been successful in getting LDN. I've read it can be helpful in Hashimotos, fibro and even Interstitial Cystitis which would be a god send. Can it though reduce cortisol further?

What is the dose for Hashimotos?

Thanks. X

PS I bet I don't get it :-(

Hi Louise, don't worry, i've done some research incl the link and have 1 page printed out to show her doses for hashimotos. I think she is convinced as she offered it after her research, but I think it's down to the other partners. Prepared for a NO, and I'll know in about an hour. X

I would be really interested in hearing how you convinced your GP to prescribe it.

For Hashimotos the recommended starting dose is the lowest which I think is 0.5

Hi Peacefullbliss, my gp suggested it, but when she asked for it to be prescribed it was a big no. I've just put a post on about it. X
