LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Lauren - 1st May 2019 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Lauren is from the UK, and uses low dose naltrexone (LDN) for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), fibromyalgia, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS).

Before starting LDN she was housebound for about 2 years. She lost mobility in her legs; and had constant migraines and dizziness, and a myriad of other symptoms. She was only 20, and rates her quality of life as a 2 at that point. Having no quality of life, she was on suicide watch. One day she decided to do some research, and came across LDN, and found Clinic 158 in Scotland, which arranged for a consultation with a doctor, and the prescription. Within 2-3 weeks on LDN 0.5 mg she was cleaning the house; and as the dose increased, she felt like a new person, with her independence back. She was able to return to work, and has her own home now, although she does have some bad days.

Her fibromyalgia began at age 13. She was a champion Irish dancer, and suddenly her fibromyalgia symptoms began, and soon she was wheelchair bound. It took 5 years to get a diagnosis. Living with fibromyalgia was very traumatizing, not only because of the chronic fatigue, but also the pain in her body. She was told her leg muscle mass was pretty much gone. Because of the fibromyalgia in her joints, at age 22 she was preparing to have a shoulder replaced because of loss of her rotator cuff and frequent dislocation. Now on LDN she only suffers a dislocation maybe once a week.

A couple months after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). A year later she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 2, the hypermobility EDS. Things like cold weather, or a temperature her body wasn’t used to, would cause her shoulder to pop out. Her whole body was affected, but it tended to show most in her shoulder joint.

Now on LDN her pain is not gone, but it’s down to minimal, and a level she can cope with. She coped with excruciating pain daily for years, and now on LDN, having slight twinges here and there over her body is manageable. She is able to enjoy her life as a 23 year old.

Michelle, Fibromyalga and ME - 9th Jan 2019 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Michelle shares her Fibromyalgia (CFS/ME) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Michelle first started having problems at the age of 12 or 14.  Her low energy, chronic migraines and pain were put down to puberty by her doctors. Later, in her twenties, the doctors blamed her problems on stress although she never felt that she was stressed.  Eventually in her thirties she was diagnosed with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and Fibromyalgia. 

She is now 52 and has spent a number of years being bed bound. She felt she had a very limited life. In 2017 she was in bed from the end of September until march 2018 and felt her life was being wasted.

While researching the latest research on ME she found references to Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Michelle printed off the information she had found and took it to her Doctor. Michelle started to ask people on facebook where she could get LDN and was advised to contact Dicksons chemist in Glasgow. Since then she has had a miraculous recovery.
