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

Jay from England shares his Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Jay first experienced symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) around 2010, when he suddenly had a muscle spasm in his left arm when he was sat down one evening. Shortly after, his vision became blurred and Jay began to suffer from brain fog.

He said “It (MS) made the task of bringing up two children even harder than it already is. The fatigue limited my ability to continue my full time job. Everything was not easy.

My quality of life has soared since starting on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). The brain fog is gone, I no longer have muscle spasms and have much more energy than before.

You’ve obviously got to research to check if LDN is going to help you out, but in most cases it will. It’s certainly worth a try.”

Janice - US: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Janice is from the United States, and has rheumatoid arthritis (RA) since age 53, about 7 years prior to this interview.  It started as pain in the arch of her feet and toes; X-rays were negative.

After 30 months of various unsuccessful therapies, her doctor measured and found a very high rheumatoid factor. Her rheumatologist was not able to find a medication to help her symptoms.

Janice Googled alternative treatments for RA and quickly found low dose naltrexone (LDN). At the time she had a lot of pain, inflammation, swelling in all her joints, and general fatigue. She was using ibuprofen 800 mg twice a day.

She found a doctor to prescribe LDN, and after 4 days did not need to take any ibuprofen. Her pain and fatigue were quickly eased; and over the next several months the swelling and inflammation left her joints. She now feels 95% back to normal, and has a fully active life. Her local physician was amazed with her recovery, and now prescribes LDN for other patients as well. Janice serves as a resource for her physician’s other patients, to talk about how well LDN has worked for her.

If others are contemplating trying LDN, Janice encourages them to try it because it has minimal side effects, and has the opportunity to restore quality of life.

Jan - US: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

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.
