​​​​​​​Martha - US: Fibromyalgia (LDN, low dose naltrexone)

Martha - US: Fibromyalgia (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Martha is from Hawaii in the United States, and takes low dose naltrexone (LDN) for fibromyalgia. Her first symptoms were a series of mysterious illnesses, stomach problems, fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, that in  2010 was diagnosed as fibromyalgia.

She was pretty much bedridden, felt feverish without a fever, fatigued, and in pain. Her quality of life was a 4, or 5 on a good day.

She heard about LDN in 2006 from a friend who was working with Dr Jackie McCandless, who was from the little community where she lived on the Big Island. She recently passed away but she had used it autism and then started the study in Africa using it for children with HIV.

She started LDN two years ago, and in three weeks her pain was decreased, she slept better, her depression lifted, and now she rates the quality of her life at a 10.
