Anyone having success using LDN?

[MissFG]

If so how has it helped and can you recommend an online UK private prescription service where I can order this from?

Although unregistered in the U.K. I hear it has had great success in treating autoimmune conditions and also cancer so I'd like to try LDN and see if it benefits me for my SLE & Hashimotos

Here is the link to the l dn reseach trust who will help you to buy some.... I bougt some liqid on prescription from the uk and had several goes with it, I also tried tablet form bought elsewhere..... both forms had me completely dizzy on the 3rd week of taking them. Eventually I gave up.

Thanks I've printed off the information pack but can my GP prescribe it if it's unlicensed in the U.K.?

Yes. I've been taking LDN for 2 years. Changed my life.

Are you on FB? There is a great group called Beating thyroid disease with LDN. Join. Great protocol for trying LDN & suggestions of where to get it prescribed & compounded.

Someone else posted the link to the LDN trust in the uk. They have a letter you can take to your Gp requesting it. It's so cheap I think all gps should know about it.

This was my treatment May-Aug 2015

- 150 thyroxin t4 daily

- 20 (t3) daily

^ taken as soon as I wake so on an empty stomach and I don't eat for 2 hours to ensure max absorption.

Plus I take:

- vitD3 25,000 iu twice a week

- vit k2 daily

- folate (not folic acid) daily

- daily probiotic

- 2000 iu vit C daily

- magnesium 2 tabs twice a day

- Betaine hcl before meals

I'm also:

- gluten free

- soy free

- don't drink caffeine within 2 hours of my thyroid meds

Since August 2015 I added:

- 4.5mcg low dose naltrexone before bed

^this really helped with brain fog and end of day tiredness and has coincided with a huge fall in my antibodies.

As a result I :

- lost 3 stone in a year

- got my brain back

- feel alive - can run around after my kids

- fell pregnant with 2nd child after years of failing!!!

- antibodies have come down

- - AND after 20+ years of suffering shoulder pain, it has gone!!

Best of luck on your journey.

Thank you! Did you start on a low dose and increase to 4.5mcg? I was looking at just getting a prescription online which seems quite simple but will try my GP I just thought as it was unlicensed in the uk GP's can't prescribe it. Did you get yours online?

I got the prescription online, it involved a telephone consultation with a doctor, then the chemist made the suff and posted it to me....

Bill arrived a few days later, As i recall it was about £50 in total.
