LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Darren McDuffy interviews Linda Elsegood about LDN (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Linda Elsegood shares her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Story on Phat Man Radio with Darren McDuffy.

In 1969 at the age of 13, Linda had glandular fever (Epstein-Barr virus). She was seriously ill and away from school for six months. 

Late 1999 Linda’s mother had a serious heart attack and the trauma affected her badly. She was working full time, travelling two and a half hours every day and running the home. This excessive workload and stress began to take its toll on her health, and by May 2000 she had lost her balance, lost feeling in the left side of her face and her head, tongue and nose were numb with pins and needles.

In early December 2003 Linda started Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), and the results were incredibly positive. By Christmas Linda was functioning again, and her liver tests were back to normal. She felt like herself again.

Linda founded the LDN Research Trust in May 2004. In this interview she says that it is the most exciting thing she has ever done. She is able to give many hours a week to the Trust, helping people to get LDN and trying to get it into clinical trials.

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

Daisy from England shares her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Daisy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the age of 21 in 1993. She had suffered from fatigue and numbness since she was a child but it wasn’t until she was a student that her symptoms took a turn for the worst, including serious numbness in her left leg and optic neuritis.

She said “It seemed that all the problems were all on my left side; I had trouble seeing out of my left eye and trouble walking with my left leg.

LDN has helped with both of those problems. I also had no major side effects other than my vivid dreams, which were quite fun to be honest. I wish I still had them.

Even though I’m not sure Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)  can do lots of positive things for everyone, it seems to do lots of positive things for me. It seems like a safe bet, so by that token you should try it.”

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

Linda Elsegood: I'd like to introduce Crystal from the United States to take LDN.  Thank you for joining me, Crystal.

Crystal: Thank you.

Linda Elsegood: Could you tell me when you first started to feel your MS symptoms?

Crystal: I wonder if some of the strange symptoms I had during my last two or three pregnancies was really a mass related. I would get tingling and numbness in my fingers and visual disturbances like blurry vision or spots in my vision. And we would just wonder what in the world is going on.

I asked my OB about it and he just kind of dismissed it as maybe babies on a nerve or something like that. And nobody ever thought anything of it. And I didn't have it after pregnancy. So I don't know if that was related or not.  It's hard to remember the specifics of everything because of the fact that we were just kind of blew it off. I can remember weird things. A couple of years later after my last pregnancy, this may be a year afterwards, I can remember some weird things like waking up biting my tongue because it was kind of loose or hanging off to the side. Then shortly after this, I would have insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and my arms and skin would crawl and itch.

All of this would make me feel really crazy and I started having double vision after this and dizziness when I stood up or just got up too fast. This was right before I had my major symptom. My primary care sent me to an Ophthalmologist for the double vision who said my eyes and optic nerve were just fine.

So everybody was baffled why I would be having double vision. Shortly after this was when I woke up one morning with a numb mouth on the right side. My lips and my tongue were numb and tingly. I was also having headaches at the same time. So I had an MRI scheduled because of the headaches that just persist even major medication. Narcotics did not help these headaches. When I woke up with numbness one morning, my husband said: " That does just not seem right. You need to call the doctor." And my husband is not the type to recommend going into the doctor. You know how men are. When he said that I should go into the doctor, I really took that seriously. That must have sounded serious to him. I went in, I saw a doctor that wasn't my primary care because she was out that day and they tested my sensations with Q-tips to see if I could actually feel.

The acute tip being touched my tongue and different parts of my face, and I could still feel the sensation of the Q-tip there, even though I was numb and tingling. So it wasn't that all feeling was gone. We eventually, after discussing things concluded it might have something to do with my usual nighttime teeth clenching.

I was told to follow up in a couple of days, which I did, but I still had the numbness. So when my doctor that oversaw my primary she didn't feel comfortable waiting for my scheduled MRI, the one that was set up because of my headaches. She said: " I'm going to have to send you down to the ER right now for an emergency MRI."

And so that's what happened. And I went down right away. At that time, the results were read by the ER doctors and radiologists. That night I was very tired. I had to wait quite a while to get the MRI and then for them to read it. The ER doctors and radiologists looked at the MRI and they all thought it looked most like MS. Later on, when I finally got an appointment with the Neurologist, I don't know how it is there and in England but it takes a long time to get an appointment with the Neurologist. When I did finally see him, he did confirm a MS diagnosis. I never did go on a disease-modifying therapy because an older lady from my church had read about LDN, and I knew that the disease-modifying therapies were kind of toxic. She told me about LDN and I asked for it immediately from my Neurologist, and fortunately, he was the type of Neurologist to go ahead and prescribe that for me, even though they did encourage me to start DMT because they said the prognosis for people is much better the earlier you start.

I don't have much to base. I only had that first attack. I can't tell you how much of a difference LDN made in my disease, but I do know it helped with insomnia, and I have been feeling pretty good for having MS..

Actually, when I talked to my pastor the other day, he said:" I'm impressed with how well you've been doing." Sometimes with MS once you start going downhill, it's quick. It's like going off a cliff, and I haven't had that battles so far, and maybe it's due to the LDN that I haven't gotten any worse.

I know that LDN has helped me tremendously with insomnia. I don't have that anymore. I don't have the itching and crawling of the skin or the restless arm. So it seems that LDN has done the job and I do plan on going on Copaxone just because I don't want to take measures to prevent further damage which LDN hasn't yet clinically been proven to do.

But I will be taking the LDN at the same time because I know Copaxone and LDN are the only one you can take with LDN. So as long as I can, I'm going to stay on the LDN.

Linda Elsegood: Would you like to tell people what the regular day for you is like?

Crystal: Sure, as I said, right now,  I just have pain.

I haven't had much fatigue anymore. In the beginning, right after my diagnosis, I had tremendous amounts of fatigue. I would hit a certain part in the morning and I would just have to lay down at night. I tell my kids:" Can you kids please clean this room and they would work together, and I'd go lay down because I was just so fatigued. I don't have that anymore. I've been on LDN now for six months, and I wonder if that fatigue that I used to experience isn't gone because I take it and get a good rest. But now I just have intermittent bouts of pain in various places.

I can feel twinges of pain. They're fleeting. They come and go pretty quickly. I don't have much muscle weakness or anything like that, which is good because I need to take care of my children. So it's good that I don't have anything major right now. I do have visual disturbances sometimes when I get up too fast. I do feel like I'm going to get double vision, but I never actually get it.

Linda Elsegood: But on a daily basis, you have seven children. And how many do you home school?

Crystal: I homeschool the oldest four. I don't homeschool the youngest three.

Linda Elsegood: So that is one busy mum. So I see you're doing extremely well. I mean, it would be a big job, I think for a healthy person, let alone somebody with MS. You are doing extremely well.

Crystal: Thank you. I do have a lot of help. I have the homeschooling materials we use are very helpful. My two younger ones that I homeschool have videos they watch so it's a tremendous help. We have an outside teacher that teaches them.  I'm just there to help out and they do very well there. I have some wonderfully smart kids.

Linda Elsegood: Well, thank you very much for sharing your story with us.

Any questions or comments you may have, email us a Contact@ldnresearchtrust.org.  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.

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

Conja from the Netherlands shares their Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Conja is a nurse who researched Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) thoroughly with Hashimoto’s patients before taking LDN herself for Multiple Sclerosis.

She said “LDN has been a remarkable drug for both me and my patients. As long as you take it slow, then the side effects will be very minor.”

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

Claire from Canada shares their Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Claire was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) when she was sixty-four years old. Prior to her diagnosis, she noticed that she began to stumble when walking long distances and had a tingling sensation in her feet.

“By the time I was diagnosed, I had numbness in my feet that extended all the way up to my hip. I had consistent pain in both feet. One day, I was in the office and the tightness extended all the way up to my collarbone, which really scared me.

When I started taking Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), the numbness and pain stopped straight away. I would say my fatigue is mostly gone too. Before I started LDN, my quality of life was no higher than a four out of ten, but now it's definitely and eight or even higher.

To others thinking of trying LDN, the side effects are so minimal. I know it may not work overnight in everyone, but if you can find the right healthcare partner, I think it will be tremendously helpful.”

Cindy was diagnosed when she was around 26 years old. She had never had any tummy problems or any symptoms prior to woking up one day and the restroom and there was blood in her stool.

She didn't tell another for a month and then told her mother and that was the started of her journey with the doctors. And first they thought it was haemorrhoids.

After about two years and many doctors, they finally came up with a diagnosis of Crohn's due to a biopsy from a colonoscopy.

Her symptoms were blood in her stools, pain and severe fatigue.

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

Ciara from Scotland shares her LDN story she has primary progressive.

Ciara started showing symptoms around 2005, she started getting numbness in her feet. At first, she thought it was because she was using patches to stop smoking. Then she mentions it to her doctor, and that's when he decided to run some more test. She found LDN through a childhood friend on Facebook. She got a prescription for LDN and had no side effects taking it. She's only been taking it since April, but she is very confident it will work well.

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

Linda Elsegood: This evening. We're joined by Christine from the United States who takes LDN for multiple sclerosis. Thank you for joining us, Christine.

Christine: Thank you for having me.

Linda Elsegood: Could you tell us when you first experienced symptoms?

Christine: The first time I can remember experiencing the symptoms was in 2008, but at that time, I didn't realize what I was experiencing. I actually attributed it to some muscular issues I was having with my back at the time. But it was the feeling of what I've learned is MS especially look down, the action of putting my head down would create a tremor in my body that would go through my whole body and at the extremities, it would radiate. I started also having in one arm or the other, usually not at the same time, a fullness, a tingling, and in my hands, I had sensitivity at that time in 2008, it was actually more prominent in my seat, toes and in my hands.

So those were the first signs that I can attribute back now we're probably the signs of the MS. But at the time, I, I just thought there was something structural going on because I had some back issues.

Linda Elsegood: And how old were you at the time?

Christine: 30,

Linda Elsegood: So you had this issue, uh, did it come and go?

Was it like relapsing and remitting or did that stay with you and then you just developed other symptoms?

Christine: Um, those symptoms were present for a few months. And again, I wasn't sure what they were. So I had, uh, sought out a chiropractor and I will say that going to the chiropractor was very much a sort of holistic chiropractor.

He looked at health and things outside of just adjustments. Um, and I was going to him quite frequently. He wanted me there like three times a week initially, and then it went down to twice and then one time a week, um, the symptoms started to relax from the standpoint of the fullness in the arms and the tingling in the legs, but I still had the lemme syndrome where I would look down. I just noticed from time to time. It wasn't every single time. But if I was standing upright and was looking, someone said, look down at your toes, I would feel that tremor. So that tremor never really went away. Um, and maybe because there was some corresponding back issue, it helped some of the other issues dissipate.

A bit, but I'm never truly a hundred per cent, one away. And then fast forward to about 2012. So about four years later, I had a reoccurrence quite drastically, and now it was concentrated on my hands. So the top parts of each finger felt full. Um, and were very sensitive. I noticed touching things were more difficult.

Uh, didn't have as much issue with, with my toes that would come and go. And ever since 2012, I've had a constant level of pain and discomfort sensitivity in both hands. So that has been the most current, um, and constant. Symptom along with, there was a new symptom that came in about 2013, which I can only really expresses like restless leg syndrome, which was my legs felt like I had run a mile.

They were very, very, um, fatigue without having to do too much. Um, and at night it would wake me up. It made it difficult to sleep. I didn't feel so bad when I would walk or, uh, you know, I was not having any issue with my gait or anything. Like that, it was more noticeable just as a symptom on its own, but it didn't keep me, you know, thankfully from doing too much, I just had to deal, deal with that.

And that's the basis for my symptoms. Thankfully I haven't had, except for my hands. They cramp when I have to write, um, I use a computer, and I try not to do too much writing because as I write my hands, Hurt more and they begin to cramp. And the only other, uh, symptom I can really speak to is fatigue at times.

And it does, thankfully it doesn't come on too much, but I'm a very, um, active person on the weekends. Like this weekend, no relaxation house cleaning, running around errands, kids, things like that. It's very unusual to see me just lay in bed for a weekend and. Relax if every now and then, and it may happen.

Let's say once a quarter, once every four years, I get so tired that I am very fatigued and I'm not really doing too much slang around for the weekend. I have noticed that. And I guess on some level. I'm very thankful for this. It seems to come more on the weekends. I think it's a product of being so busy during the week working and things of that nature.

And then by the end of the week, I just feel like it all has caught up with me.

Linda Elsegood: Okay. And if you had to have said before you started LDN on the score of one to 10, what your quality of life was like, what would it have been.

Christine: Um, well, I mean, outside of the, I've been very lucky. I have, I have a relaxing remittance is the diagnosis I have.

Um, I was. My quality of life was really, um, quite good from a day to day perspective. But the pain level that I got used to is my hands and some of those other symptoms, it was quite, um, intrusive. So personally, um, it felt like. Um, it's ten is the best I've ever felt. You know, I was at least down to, you know, a five or so because of how uncomfortable it could be at times it would have increased my, my mood to also, uh, cause my hands are burning and hurting.

Um, I've, I've been to the point where I have literally come up with contraptions band-aids things like that to put on my hands because the pain is so unbearable. So, um, I wouldn't necessarily say I was at a zero. But I was at least halfway down, and I was looking for any help I could get now, thankfully, every single day wasn't like that, but there were many days, you know, in a month that were like that.

And afterwards, what I noticed is it did take a bit of time for the LDN to really make an impact I'm going on a full year, maybe a year and two months at this point, um, I started out with a dose, uh, that was. Not, not exactly high, but not exactly as low as some people were used to. And I was experiencing what I thought were some issues relative to the dose.

And once my doctor changed me, so I'm really identifying since I've been on the dose, I've been on, on, that's been working, that's been a year, but I had been on a prior dose for maybe two or three months before that.

Linda Elsegood: And we'll say easy to get hold of a prescription of LDN.

Christine: I wouldn't necessarily say that I was lucky that I have a homoeopathic medical doctor.

Who's also a personal friend and he was. I'm aware of LDN. He has a brother-in-law who has MS. And I believe he had introduced LDN to him. He's also the kind of person who is very open-minded. I sent him research. He'll read it. I'm actually sending him the LDN book, um, that I've. Purchased the book that was recently written and I'm also sending it.

My daughter has, um, some, some, uh, some issues and she goes to an endocrinologist and he's interested in reading it as well. So I have a few doctors that I'm lucky that, um, that know about LDN and I've met some people in the community where I get my medicine. It's compounded at a local pharmacy. The gentleman that's, the pharmacist has done a lot of advocacy work.

For, um, for LDN in the area, he will go and visit doctors. Um, so he was one of the people that gave me other people to speak to, but my original doctor, the homoeopathic doctor, was familiar with it. So I actually see him exclusively. Um, for, for LDN, I have a regular medical, and that's partly just because here he doesn't take any insurance and it can be quite costly.

Linda Elsegood: And when you got used to the LDN, and you said that, you know, it started to work for you on the dose that you're on. What did you notice happened?

Christine: Well, on a pain level perspective. Um, for the most part, my pain went down to almost on days where I would have to stop and go. I'm almost normal. I had a, a realization of that.

And what I've noticed is that when I'm doing a lot, when I've pushed myself, Beyond that, that level of, you know, you need to relax now, Christine, or you need to do something good for you instead of just running and doing. Um, uh, sometimes exercise will bring on a little bit of the pain too, but normally I have found that I have a new normal, I have a good space that I've gotten down to in my pain level.

It's somewhere between being aware of it, but not necessarily calling it pain. And that's where the LDN got me too. It's also been great because I have no pain. Uh, really in my, in my feet. Um, I think one time that I can think of, I had some tingling, but it was nowhere near the pain that would be reminiscent of what I had before or the pain in my hands, the legs, as far as the restlessness, that still comes from time to time.

It's probably about the same frequency, you know, maybe one time, every, um, Three months. Um, and I'm still dealing with a number of other issues, um, relative to my back. So it's sometimes hard to exactly pull out if this is, and you know, this is what happens with my patients all the time, at least in my opinion, cause I've worked with them and I know people you're always wondering, is it the MS or is it something else?

And it's sometimes it's, it's hard to distinguish, and that can be frustrating sometimes.

Linda Elsegood: Well, you seem as though LDN is working really well for you. Um, and what would you say now that score would be on a scale of one to 10, 10 being the best.

Christine: Oh, I mean, I'm definitely operating, you know, at an eight-level, uh, predominantly.

Um, so I think that on a score level, you know, LDN being on it for this period of time, and I'm really, I have read research too, that has shown that maybe the longer you're on it, the better you get, because it has to sort of work through your system. And I'm also incorporating more of a. A healthy diet of organic food, um, you know, very clean food and, and doing whatever I can from a supplement perspective.

So I really do feel that the combination of all those things, uh, probably will in a year from now, maybe I'll be a nine. Um, but I would definitely say, you know, a good eight at this time.

Linda Elsegood: And what would you say about the tremors? Hopefully?

Christine: Yeah. They're, they're not gone. I mean, on occasion, I'll almost test it out if you will.

Cause it's not, it's not necessarily normal that you would just sort of put your head down. But when I do, I mean, for the most part, uh, it doesn't happen every single time, but they're there and it really, from day to day doesn't impact me. So yeah. I mean, I'm very, very grateful and appreciative for the fact that I am at the level I am now.

Um, I'm actually due to have, um, MRIs again to see, um, I have a very interesting thing where they didn't even know if it was MS. They thought it might have been optic neuritis, but my eyesight has never had, you know, thankfully an issue, but because of the way I present on. MRIs. I show one very long was perceived as one very long lesion in my thoracic spine, but they're not sure if it could have been a number of smaller ones.

So that was a diagnosis that was played around with before MS. Um, but, um, you know, I think I said to bill more forms at this point.

Linda Elsegood: Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us.

Christian, from Germany, takes low dose naltrexone (LDN) for multiple sclerosis (MS). He was diagnosed at age 30, in 2001.

In 1995 he had symptoms like inflammation of an eye nerve, but no one connected it with MS at the time.

In 2001 he could run 10 km and run a marathon, but became unable to walk 200 m without a walking frame. After internet research, he used e-med to get a prescription, which he filled at Dickson Chemist. For the first month he had wild dreams, but was able to increase from 1.5 mg LDN by 0.5 mg over 4 weeks.

He notes decreased fatigue and more energy, although his MS continues to get worse slowly. He recommends LDN for others with MS, as well as continuing activities that move the body. He also takes Tecfidera, but feels it is not more helpful than LDN. He remarks that it is difficult to find a doctor to prescribe LDN in Germany and turned to England for his prescription. He spends about 400 € annually.

Summary of Christian's interview, please listen to the video for the full story.

Linda: I’d like to introduce Chris from Scotland, who has primary progressive MS. Welcome, Chris. Can you tell us when you first started noticing your MS symptoms?

Chris: It’s right about 2004 when I was around 55 years old. The symptoms came on as problems with bladder control, feeling tired, and so on. It was a very slow realization that I put down to my age. Initially I was tested in  2005 because I was falling down in the street and people were looking at me as though I was drunk, but I was losing balance, tripping over, and falling in the street, so our doctor referred me to the local hospital to get some tests. It took about two years for the neurologist concerned to tell me that I had MS. I was a busy man at that time. I had three retail outlets, we did lots of contract work and this sort of thing, so I was here, there, and everywhere; and everybody’s everybody point of reference thing, so I realized I had to make some alternative arrangements for my business, and there was a lot of stress and a lot of difficult times. It took between 2004 and 2008, I think, to realize I wasn’t going to get any better.

Linda: How did you hear about LDN?

Chris: My neurologist was a disappointment, so I invoked my private health care policy and chose another neurologist, who confirmed the diagnosis and referred me back to the other neurologist, who wanted to give me a steroid IV over a three-day stay in hospital, and I point plank refused to take that and did a lot of research on my own and came up with the LDN solution. I read a book by and Irish lady whose husband was..

Linda: the book would be Up the Creek With a Paddle by Boyle Mary Bradley

Chris: I researched even deeper into that and decided well, if it’s good enough for Dr. Bihari and those guys to try, I’d try as a starting point. It took a while for my local GP to agree to prescribe LDN. He said he had a family to think about and was not going to get involved in this sort of quack therapy. I pressed the point with one of the other GPs at a later appointment and she, who’s the senior GP in the practice, saw what I was trying to do. I presented her with all my findings. LDN was on the NHS list of approved medications, but unfortunately the filler was calcium carbonate which my research through Skip Lenz shows apparently it’s a sort of counter-actor to LDN and negates the effect. Now I have a filler Avicel, for me, the preferred filler for LDN. My dose is between 3.0 – 4.0 mg, depending on how I feel. All available through my local GP at no cost to me.

Linda: Did you notice any introductory side effects?

Chris: Yes. Some great dreams of all sorts of weird little things for the first few weeks that settled down, and now I have LDN with absolutely no side effects.

Linda: Has LDN helped you at all?

Chris: I can only assume a beneficial effect, not knowing what the alternative would have been had I not taken LDN and gone for something else. My theory or philosophy on this is that I done want to ingest any stuff that’s on the drug market for the satisfaction of everyone except myself. I prefer to go with the low bang of LDN rather than the big bank of some of these steroidal drugs. I can only assume LDN is holding on to my MS, preventing it from progressing quite as quickly as I would otherwise normally experience, without the essential side effects, and restart.

Linda: Have you noticed any improvement at all, or have you just remained the same?

Chris: It’s clear the MS is not going to go away, but there is no remedy that cures this problem. My life has been modified not only in terms of the drug and the condition, but also in terms of my workload and work-life balance, and all the rest of it. So I keep taking LDN and assuming that it’s kind of holding on to where I was 2-3 years ago.

Linda: Have you noticed any improvement in your bladder or fatigue or anything? Is there anything that you’ve noticed is better?

Chris: The answer is no. I still have the fatigue and difficult bladder control, and all this sort of stuff, and other essential part of MS. But I’ve never seen LDN as a cure, rather as a means of holding on to my condition at the point at which I first started taking it, and slowing its progression.

Linda: Most people when they start taking it their bladder starts to improve and the fatigue isn’t quite as bad. Have you noticed any improvement in any of these symptoms?

Chris: I remember quite well the chapter in the book that said that somebody had said well, LDN isn’t working so I’ll stop taking it, and their account of that is that within three days or so, they were all over the place and they went back on the LDN and realized that LDN was in fact helping them. So, I don’t want to go down that route. I keep taking LDN.

Linda: So your symptoms are exactly as they were when you started LDN?

Chris: I don’t see that there’s been any great improvement.

Linda: Not even slight improvement?

Chris: I can’t say it’s improved, but that it has held on to it. Maybe there was slight improvement when I first started taking it for sure, but since then it’s kind of held on to the way it is.

Linda: Well, thank you very much for sharing your story with us Chris, I really do appreciate it.
