Do you take LDN for Hashi's?

[Naomi8]

I would like to hear from people who are taking LDN.What dose are you on?

I started with .5 LDN in August 2015.Currently on 3.0.Have not had any negative side-effects,so far.

Wondering about continuing to up my dose to 4.5.

Noticed STTM book says many with Hashi's settle on 3.0

I'm on LDN but started on 1ml and to increase weekly until 4.5mls.

What;s the reasoning behind stopping at 3mls?

I'm week 3, so on 3mls now. I'm finding that I've had to reduce my NDT as I feel over medicated on 1/2 a grain!

I had headaches for the first week or so and still have crazy dreams - which I don't mind.

I was prescribed 4.5 to be reached by increasing in the same way.I have just been ultra-cautious,due to online research re Hashi's.Apart from vivid dreams,I haven't noticed any side-effects,so think I will continue to raise.Re intense dreams-at menopause,vivid dreaming diminished for me,so I don't mind getting them again!

Have you had any improvements? I have asked for ldn at the doctors and she referred me to a dermatologist as she is not allowed to prescribe it although the dermatologist is. ( i also have Lichen sclerosus). My dermatologist appointment is in 4 weeks so fingers crossed.

Hi galathea,

Please let us know how your app goes. I too have LS which I hope to deal with soon.

I decided to buy LDN privately,not go through my GP,as I had just been given a scrip for T3 & didn't feel inclined to push my luck.When I started on the LDN in August,I had just finished weaning myself off thyroxine onto T3-only.I also went GF shortly after,so its hard to know what was doing what.However,due to mental & physical improvements,plus the written info on LDN,I am happy to stay on it long-term,as I have not had side effects of any import.

At present I am taking 10mcgs T3 in the early hours & 2gr NDT in the night.

Hi LindaC - lots of info on the above link - I was almost there

[LindaC in reply to Marz]

Thank you so much Marz... last year the horror of low temps [worst year EVER, as in stumbling, punch drunk] was staved off by me this year using Phosphatidyl Serine - worked a treat 3 a day at first, then tapering off to 1 a day to maintain. On returning from Seattle - fairly warm - I've slumped terribly due to it going back here to being almost winter. I've learned that I'm clearly very 'seasonally affected' [not simply SAD - used a lamp for years]. When I get a chance I'll give it a thorough read - very much appreciated. OH, hang on the sun is starting to shine
