LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

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

First diagnosed 1991 Sue’s initial symptoms were numbness in her feet, then up to her waist. Sue went to her doctors and was referred to Harley Street where she had all tests done but for reasons unknown the specialist didn’t tell her she had MS, it wasn’t until she went to her GP that she was told she had it. 

At that time the symptoms had gone temporarily so she carried on as normal. Symptoms returned years later much worse. By the time she was 48, she had to give up work and driving and move to a bungalow because she could no longer get up the stairs. 

Sue was diagnosed with primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis and she wanted to try stopping the progression as much as she could.  She started Low Dose Naltrexone and stopped for 3 months to try another treatment but she went downhill quickly and started LDN again.  

With no side effects, she found that LDN did slow the progression of her MS and feels that her progression would have really accelerated without it.

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

Sue from Wales first experienced symptoms seven years ago when she realised that she couldn’t grip things properly and she started to drop things a lot. She had strange sensations while walking that she was going to fall. Sue went to the doctors and had blood tests and was told she was fine despite the problems that she was experiencing. A year later, in a new job which was stressful, things accelerated, eight months into the job she had to leave.  Back at the doctors, she was given more tests and this time she was referred to a neurologist who diagnosed Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

Now choking on her food and having to walk slowly and getting nothing concrete from her doctor or neurologist Sue decided to research for herself. She found articles about Low Dose Naltrexone and found a prescriber and finally got herself a prescription for LDN. 

Starting at a low dose and working up steadily Sue soon found she felt a lot better in herself, happier and better able to cope. She had more energy and got a spring back in her step within a month. The numbness improved and she has her life back without the anxiety and fear for her future that she was feeling before.

Shannon Garrett, BS, RN, CNN, LDN Radio Show 2016 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Shannon Garrett, a Thyroid and Auto-immune Women’s Wellness Nurse has been searching for help and a diagnosis on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for many years.

Shannon finally received a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s where she was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Pernicious Anaemia.

Shannon first found out about LDN through a prison nurse and how it successfully helped her Father who had Multiple Sclerosis (MS). From then on, Shannon started researching, searching social media for information where she came across some helpful support groups.

Shannon broadcasted what she found to her doctor, where they both agreed that the LDN medication was worth trying. She worked nine months on getting her body ready for the medication which could potentially result in nutrient deficiency. This is when she saw a brighter version of herself. 

Shannon began working closely with patients who was wanting the Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) medication and seeing what would be right for them. Her aim was to empower patients and doctors that LDN does not always work for some, which leads to a protocol and closely monitoring the patient. 

Shannon found a 90-95% success rate for her patients, an improvement in their quality of life even. Despite some patients still having sleep issues and insomnia within the first 2 -3 weeks, there was no other outstanding side effects. A small handful of patients say their anxiety increased at the beginning of the LDN treatment medication, which therefore they would refer the patients to a cream rather than an oral capsule.

When her neurologist diagnosed her fibromyalgia, she rated her quality of life as 3 on a 10-point scale. She also takes amitriptyline for migraine. She was seeing a doctor who balances hormones who finally suggested Sheila try low dose naltrexone (LDN). At first it interfered with her sleep so she continued taking melatonin, Benadryl, or Xanax to help fall asleep; but she quickly noticed improved mood. After 2 months at 1.5 mg fatigue returned, so her doctor increased her to 3 mg for a month without improvement, then to 4.5 mg. Vivid dreams were a problem, but she takes LDN in the morning and is doing well. She rates her quality of life now as 9 on a 10-point scale. Her sister also has fibromyalgia and is starting LDN. Her sister’s husband has an autoimmune disease - inclusion body myositis – and started LDN and his mood is improved and he’s energetic. Her niece has lupus and will start LDN soon. Sheila recommends LDN to anyone with fibromyalgia, MS, or any autoimmune disease.
