What is LDN and can anyone explain its use in thyroid disease

[Noelnoel]

Clueless as to what the article is saying other than it claims that this drug works for all kinds of conditions. Anyone with the right kind of brain care to explain in really simple terms. Really simple terms please

I always thought this was for overactive thyroid as I remember coming across it when I was overactive and doing research. Could be wrong though.

[Noelnoel in reply to Hookie01]

As far as I can work our Hookie, it’s used for Hashimoto’s

Thanks for your reply

Hi, I've got a pdf which gives a summary, which I was given when I first started taking LDN. I'm not properly awake right now (ME/CFS - i function best in the evening) but will copy that later. Just replying now to help remind me!

[Noelnoel in reply to Ezzie33]

Thanks Ezzie, no rush. When you feel like it is fine

[Ezzie33 in reply to Noelnoel]

Hope this helps a bit!

How Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Works

LDN is most commonly being used for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, myalgic encephalopathy, autoimmune thyroid diseases, and various cancers. Many autoimmune diseases seem to respond to LDN.

[Noelnoel in reply to Batty1]

Yes they do Batty and long may it continue for them. I hadn’t heard of it till yesterday when I met for the first time, a fellow Hashimoto’s suffer. She swears by it but I’m always a bit nervous of “drugs”. Wanted to try to understand it though, as one never knows …

[Batty1 in reply to Noelnoel]

Never heard of it either just looked it up

[Maya_83]

Hi.I take LDN. In very low dose it works for numerous types of conditions.

I'm using it CFS, its made a huge difference and I no longer need to take an afternoon nap.

[Noelnoel in reply to Maya_83]

I’m glad it’s useful to you Maya. What’s CFS?

[Maya_83 in reply to Noelnoel]

Thank you.

CFS- chronic fatigue syndrome.

Are you considering trying this Noelnoel ? I keep wondering if it might help with leg pain…

[Noelnoel in reply to Josephineinamachine]

Hello Josephine

no I’m not considering taking it. I was just curious in case it could be of some use in the future

I’m really sorry but I don’t know whether it would help with leg pain but I presume it would depend on what type and what’s causing it

Hope someone else can offer you some helpful info

[Josephineinamachine in reply to Noelnoel]

Thank you for replying! I’ll make a post now because I’ve decided I will at least give it a go 😊
