Leesa shares her Hyperthyroidism and LDN story - 7th March 2018 from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo

Leesa from the United States takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Hypothyroidism and other conditions.

Doctors found my thyroid problems when I was 21. And I am now 36.

So I've been struggling with this for over a decade. I have Hypothyroidism, which is for low active thyroid. On top of the Hypothyroidism, I produced at autoimmune that we are trying to find out what was going on with the autoimmune and never could pinpoint the autoimmune through multiple different specialists and doctors that I continued to go.

My thyroid problems cause body aches, weight gain, hair loss, lack of sleep.

I would get on different medications, and it would make my thyroid go up into hyper. And then I would have the reverse where I could not sleep, lost weight. And so it was just kind of a yoyo effect going back and forth on. I produced  Epstein bar,

That makes me feel lethargic all the time. My serotonin levels are really bad. I'm trying to get up in the morning. The more tasks you have to do during the day they call it a fight or flight mechanism for not having the correct pituitary gland problems with your thyroid not being produced.
So your thyroid usually does not have a problem. It's something else in your body that reacts to that, and it attacks your thyroid.

I had a cyst and some mornings I'd wake up, and I wouldn't have a voice. And if my voice came back, it would be shallow. I would go to eat something, and I would get choked.

I would lay down and feel like I was being suffocated. In 2009, after I years, I ended up having the mass removed on the right side of my whole thyroid on the right side, which I still have just my left thyroid at this point.

So for the rest of my life has to be on the thyroid medicine to regulate my thyroid, since I just have one left side of my thyroid.

I started LDN in March of 2017.  So I've been on LDN for nine months.

Before that, everything that goes with that with the Epstein BARR, I had increased anxiety that I'd never had before. I would wake up, and I had nerve endings that were on the top of my skin. I just felt like I'd been in the freezer.

I had really bad leg cramps, Restless Leg Syndrome starting and they were looking at maybe some Rheumatoid Arthritis.

So in April started feeling a little bit better. Each month we're upping my dose of LDN by the 0.5 mg. I'm currently on 4.5 milligrams, and I've been on that for probably about three months now.
My thyroid is now regulated. I take a natural thyroid medication called WP thyroid. And this is the first time I've been on the same dose for six months now.

My levels always stayed in the middle of where your thyroid levels should be.
I would say my quality of life before LDN on most days I would say probably a two out of ten to where I was just struggling to get up every morning.

And the only reason I was doing that is because I had two kids that were relying on me all the time to be there for them.

Now I am walking jogging three miles. I work four days a week, then massage therapy.

I have at least six clients a day. I am constantly busy, and I'm able to work all day. Now my quality of life is a nine. I'm continuing every day to get better and work on getting better.
I've lost 58 pounds a little over a year. I think my kids are amazed to have their mum be able to do so many things with them where you couldn't before.

Cindy Kennedy - Nurse Practitioner 10th January 2018 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Cindy Kennedy shares her Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Cindy Kennedy is a nurse practitioner who has suffered for years with Lyme Disease, and is sharing her experiences through this interview and her website. It took a long time to find a doctor who could diagnose it correctly. Then it has taken forever to find the appropriate treatment for her version of Lyme. 

There are different infections that present differently. The weakened immune systems cannot fight off the various co-infections. Eating well, repairing the gut flora, and strengthening the immune system are a great start. 

Despite her illness, she has treated patients for 19 years in 17 different countries. Linda pointed out that, on the LDNresearchtrust.org site, there are videos and literature on treating Lyme Disease successfully with LDN.
