Jan from the United States who takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and sleep issues shares his story.
I have all these diseases since March of 1981. I'm celebrating my 34th anniversary right now.
And I have had gotten progressively worse over the years and my pain increased until I was taking the opioid medications and still aren't getting pain control. So I started taking LDN
last July on the advice of my doctor and it has helped tremendously. I had to come off the opioids to start taking LDN
and that was rough, but it was well worth it because now I take an occasional over the counter pain reliever after eight or nine months that I've been on the LDN. I take ibuprofen and Excedrin.
Before I was taking Low Dose Naltrexone, I spent probably 22 hours a day, either in bed or in my recliner. I was able to do the most minimal self-care.
My quality of life was a zero when I was bedridden for several years. I'll just get up to go to the bathroom.
LDN has improved my life about 25, 30%. I'm able to do more things in my self-care. I'm a very independent person and not being able to do things for myself was
that stressor. And so I'm much happier.
I think definitely people should try LDN. It's not a cure and doesn't expect it to be but it is so worth it. A noticeable improvement in your quality of life and the fact that I'm totally off opioids and the damage they do to your system is well enough reasons for me.
