Sally from England who takes Low Dose Naltrexone medication (LDN) for multiple sclerosis (MS). She was first diagnosed in 2001, but thinks she had constant symptoms within about three years of that.2004.

Also, Sally feels that her knee operation did not help with her MS at all, and within five years was in a wheelchair. Sally rated her quality of life a 4/10 before the medication. She heard about the medication from the central health clinic in Glasgow. Within a week of trying Naltrexone (LDN), she says it was “absolutely brilliant”, and is the only medication that has helped her with her MS diagnosis.

Now, Sally rates her quality of life a ⅞ out of 10.

Sally would 100% recommend LDN to others, and has spoken to others with Multiple Sclerosis about it.

Sally has been treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy while taking Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and although she couldn’t say definitively what made the difference, or all, she feels so much better, no longer has Lupus symptoms and her cancer is much reduced.  At present Sally takes only LDN and supplements and remains well. 

Sali - England: Crohn’s Disease (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Sali from England shares her Crohn’s Disease and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood. 

Sali first started to notice her symptoms around 2008 when she was treated in the United States using a powerful antibiotic called clindamycin, which had very adverse effects on her body. She lost two to three stone inside three weeks and remained ill until the following Christmas Eve, when she was admitted into hospital.

In the following January, Sali was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease but it wasn’t until some time after that she discovered Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

“Now that I’m not on LDN I can walk again and I’m stronger than I was before. I’m back gardening and I have most of my life back.”

Rusti - US: Hailey-Hailey Disease (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Rusti from the US shares her story of Hailey-Hailey Disease. Rusti first showed symptoms when she was 25 years old but by the time she got to her forties she was bedridden for four months out of the year and couldn't even function.  

Rusti found out about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) on social media while she was researching Hailey-Hailey disease and eventually found a doctor who prescribed it.  At the time of this interview, Rusti had been taking Low Dose Naltrexone for four and a half months.  She had no side effects at all and says she is 98% better than she was. Rusti is one of six children and her other siblings also have Hailey-Hailey Disease, she is afraid her children will also suffer from the same and wonders whether LDN could be given to them as a preventative measure.

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

Rosie from England takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). She was diagnosed in 2005 at the age of 25. Symptoms included visual impairment, tingly fingers and numb feet. This then deteriorated to Rosie not being able to feel her fingers and legs. After having tests, she was then diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Even a few months later, Rosie could barely walk when coming home from her honeymoon. She described it as having the flu over and over again.

After two pregnancies, and still dealing with ongoing symptoms, Rosie learnt about LDN from her mum, she tried it eight months into her pregnancy, there were no complications and has been taking LDN since.

Rosie definitely recommends LDN to other people, she had no introductory side effects and has the medication on a private prescription.

Rose's Daughter, Layla - US: Crohn’s Disease (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Rose from the United States is speaking on behalf of her daughter Layla, who has Crohn's disease.

Rose first started noticing symptoms in Layla in May 2012. The first thing Rose was concerned about was the fact Layla started her menstrual cycle at the age of 10. She also had started to lose weight; enough weight to notice her rib cage when looking at her back. In May Layla weighed 82lbs, whereas the normal weight for someone of her age was 125lbs.

After a colonoscopy and endoscopy in June of 2012, Layla was declared as having Crohn’s Disease.

In August 2015, Layla started on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), after trying out different medication for the year prior to this. Since starting, Layla’s body weight has increased to a much more healthy range and her test results have come back more normalized. Layla also partakes in therapy to assist in aiding the pains.

They are grateful for LDN, and wish they'd heard of it sooner “instead of her going through the suffering she went through.” Rose has already referred people to the GP she used because of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

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

Linda Elsegood: I'd like to introduce Ronnie from the United States who has multiple sclerosis. Welcome Ronnie.

Ronnie: Thank you.

Linda Elsegood: Could you tell me when you were diagnosed with that?

Ronnie: Um, 1989.

Linda Elsegood: And how old were you?

Ronnie: I was 32 years old. I was 35 years old.

Linda Elsegood: And what symptoms were you experiencing that led to the diagnosis?

Ronnie: Well, I was losing my balance when I was dancing, which was very unusual for me.

And. I was wearing three-inch heels and dancing and twirling around. And then I would feel dizzy. And all of my friends said that's ridiculous. All of us get dizzy, you know? And then I started wearing lower heels, and something was definitely wrong. So I went to the doctor, he said to a neurologist who asked me to walk a straight line and touch my nose and sat me down and told me I had them up.

Linda Elsegood: What impact that you have on your life and your family?

Ronnie: It was devastating. I had started a small business when I was 32 years old, and it was in its fledgling stages. Then I was very much responsible for everything. And all of a sudden this like started to change everything in my life.

Linda Elsegood: What did the neurologist offer you when you were diagnosed? Say that again? What medication were you offered?

Ronnie: Nothing at that time, 1989, there was absolutely nothing. So they basically told you a story and sent you home to be miserable for the rest of your life.

Linda Elsegood: Does it sound too good to say? How did you hear about LDN?

Ronnie: Well, I, I heard about it about five or six years ago in an article in a health newsletter. And I contacted, um, dr. Myra Jerone, who was doing research on LDN and MS. In Milan, Italy. And, uh, luckily she was coming through New York City. To get to a conference. And I met with her, and I brought her copies of all my information, my medical history, a recent, um, MRI, things like that.

And she made a recommendation for me. And I was very lucky that my neurologist was willing to allow that and actually wrote the prescription for me.

Linda Elsegood: Well, sorry. Good. And did your own doctor mind?

Ronnie: No, my, my neurologist is wonderful. And while she does not recommend LDN to anyone, if she respects the fact that I did a lot of research and that I really wanted to take it.

And so she wrote the prescription for me, she will not. I suggested to anyone else under any circumstances. Right, but she will monitor me. Hold up. Very good.

Linda Elsegood: So did you have any initial side effects when you started LDN

Ronnie: actually decided that's where the wonderful part, the reason I'm taking it is, um, for the hope that it will stop the progression of my illness.

Um, I would say it has slowed the progression not stopped it, but the side effects from day one were no more physical fatigue and much more mental clarity,

Linda Elsegood: Does makes a big impact on your life. Doesn't it? It definitely does. And I say it's side effects because that was not the reason I'm taking it. But it turns out to be the most amazing benefit of tape.

Linda Elsegood: Well, so what symptoms do you have now Ronnie?

Ronnie: Well, I live in a wheelchair. , there's been a lot of damage to my body. I have no ability to stand or walk anymore. Um, My hands have been affected the strength of my hands, my agility, but my clarity is fine. Now it wasn't before I started taking LDN, but it is now, and I do not suffer from physical fatigue anymore.

Linda Elsegood: What would you say to other people who are contemplating trying LVM but maybe a bit scared to take the plunge?

Ronnie Um, I would use myself as an example and highly, highly recommend it. Um, the drug in this country and the United States. Um, I cannot get any kind of insurance coverage for us, but it's very inexpensive compared to any other drugs that you take cost about a dollar a day.

I think. And it's very easy to, um, to take either in a small capsule or a transdermal cream.

And I have experienced no negative side effects. Sorry. Okay.

Linda Elsegood: Is there anything else you'd like to add? Ronnie? No, thanks. So, okay. Well, thank you very much for sharing your story with us, Ronnie. I really do appreciate it.

Any questions or comments you may have, please contact us. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for joining us today. We really appreciated your company. Until next time, stay safe and keep well.

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

Ronna from the United States shares their Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Ronna first began to notice her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) symptoms when she was 35 years old following the birth of her third child. She began to suffer from optic neuritis in her left eye. All of a sudden other symptoms developed, such as severe fatigue and shaky hands.

MS restricted Ronna from caring for her newborn child and spending time with her other children, thus she was determined to find a solution which is when she came across Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Within a matter of months LDN was already having positive effects on Ronna’s health.

“I would say I am so lucky. I would say my quality of life is 9/10 now I’m on LDN. I think I am extraordinarily lucky to have found this drug and it worked so well for me.”

This is a summary of Ronna’s interview. Please listen to the rest of Ronna’s story by clicking on the video above.
