Wilma - Netherlands: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Hypothyroidism (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Wilma from the Netherlands shares her Hashimoto’s and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Wilma first noticed problems with her thyroid in 2011 and was swiftly diagnosed within a year with Hashimoto’s, which had a big impact on her life. Wilma could no longer walk, and things worsened when her appendix broke.

Around 2014, Wilma discovered Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and has not looked back at any treatment since. 

She said “It’s completely changed my life. I was probably operating about 30% beforehand. I felt better within six weeks of starting LDN. My life’s gone from 3/10 to 9/10.

Don’t be afraid to try LDN, especially if your own GP won't prescribe it to you. Be persistent and try somewhere else, because the benefits are there to be seen.”

Wendy - Wales: Psoriasis (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Wendy from Wales takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Psoriasis. She first started noticing symptoms twelve years ago. She found lots of dry patches on her elbows and knees so was prescribed a steroid cream. However she felt it was not working, as after she stopped using the cream it was worse and had spread to other parts of the body. Wendy states that around two and a half years ago is when the Psoriasis peaked, as it had spread all over her whole body.

Wendy has been taking Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for approximately two years now. She felt no introductory side effects, and after months of taking the medication she has noticed improvements in her skin such as a more natural colour and texture, less itchiness, cracking and the skin has regenerated.

Wendy - England: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Wendy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2000 at the age of 60. She first heard about Low Dose Naltrexone on an online forum and her doctor refused to prescribe it so she got a prescription privately. 

On starting LDN Wendy had a little sleep disturbance to begin with and that settled down within 3 weeks, other than that no other side effects but she did start to feel better within a month. Although LDN hasn’t fixed everything for her her quality of life has improved and she says she would happily recommend Low Dose Naltrexone to other MS sufferers. Her friends with MS are sadly afraid to try LDN which is a great shame.

Wendy - US: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Wendy from the United States shares her Hashimoto’s and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Wendy began to feel ill a few months after she had returned to the United States from ground zero at Chernobyl in May of 1986. Her symptoms included intense brain fog, fatigue, muscle pain and diarrhoea to name a few.

By 1988, many doctors thought it was cancer; it wasn’t until 1990 that Wendy was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. Wendy’s body was not responsive to any of the treatments until she found Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

She said “Within six to eight weeks (of starting on LDN) my dizziness was gone, my brain fog had begun to clear and I was able to exercise again. I can work full time and I feel like I’ve got my life back in a way I never thought I could have. It’s better than it was before.”

Viv - Scotland: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Viv from Scotland shares their Hashimoto’s and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Viv first noticed an odd symptom in late 2012 when she had a strange rash on her wrist. It disappeared after a few antihistamines, but returned later on all over Viv’s body and this recurred multiple times, leading to multiple visits to the hospital. 

Viv was then later diagnosed at 37 years old with Hashimoto’s. The symptoms were never properly under control from any treatment until Viv found Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

She said “I suffered zero side effects when I initially started LDN, and still have zero now. Within a couple days I began to feel better. No more rashes at all.

If you’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, I thoroughly recommend you go and speak to your doctor about LDN. You’ll find that this drug is nothing short of a miracle.”

Vicky - US: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Vicky from the United States was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis(MS) in 1997 after starting to experience symptoms the previous year, such as weakness, fatigue and hand and walking problems, as well as cognitive issues. After diagnosis, the symptoms had worsened to excruciating pain, she became sensitive to heat and cold. Vicky also lost muscle control, meaning walking was difficult, including problems swallowing.

Vicky heard about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) from her husband due to him researching forums and websites for her. However when she brought it up to her GP, she was instantly shut down due to it not being FDA approved. So she called up a different GP, and was eventually written up a prescription.

Since being on LDN, Vicky has stated that all of her symptoms have gone and her quality of life has drastically improved, claiming that “days are not long enough.”

When asked what she would say to those contemplating Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), she was enthusiastic in saying for them to give it a try, emphasising the fact they have nothing to lose.
