LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

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

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

Jeanette’s first suspicion that something was wrong with her health was in 1998 when she woke up one morning and could barely see nor do anything other than go to a local optician. She was not officially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for another 2 years.

After the initial relief of recognising the issue, Jeanette’s problems grew as fatigue began to settle in. She had a large relapse following the death of her mother, leading to great stress. However, finding Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) helped her to recover and boost her health.

“My fatigue is much better, I have much more energy and can stay up later which is nice. I can spend more time with my husband and family, it’s all so great.”

Janet - US: Fibromyalgia (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Janet from Georgia takes LDN for Fibromyalgia, and has been having problems for just over four years, which is when she began to notice it. Symptoms included severe aches and pain in muscles, extreme fatigue and trouble concentrating. 

Janet heard about the Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) medication through researching for a company she was working with at the time. She saw how well results were and that was her initial thought, to try it for herself. She stopped all of her other medications, and went to her neurologist who agreed to prescribe it. 

Janet did not have any initial side effects when she first started the LDN medication.

Janet has now been on the LDN medication for 8 months, she quoted that before, she did not have any quality of life at all, she was miserable, and her work hours dropped to below half. Now, after the medication, she feels fantastic. , she has managed to get her license back also. Although her symptoms are not completely gone, she says they are a lot more manageable, and she is back to working her full hours.

Janet fully recommends LDN to other people, and quotes that there is no choice about it. She says it is also the best thing to exist.

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.

Helen - Scotland: CFS/ME (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Helen from Scotland, was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the age of 26, shortly after the birth of her daughter. Within the first couple weeks, she felt acutely unwell and experienced muscle spasms and twitching. Not only was it physical, it was also mental fatigue being experienced “all the time”, leaving Helen unable to function. 

The doctors didn't say much, as tests came back normal. The only abnormality was her Thyroid’s function. Eventually, she went to hospital for further testing, where they noticed her spleen was enlarged. Helen was not offered treatment, and she was diagnosed with CFS/ME. She relied heavily on her husband and family to help her. 

Every time Helen visited her GP, she was always told that there was nothing that can be done. 

Helen found out about LDN, after seeing it on the news in Scotland. She visited her GP in England and mentioned LDN, however they showed no interest. 

She has been on LDN for over two years, showing no initial side effects. However, when dosage is increased she felt “quite fuzzy,” so dropped it back down again. Smaller increases were used and the symptom disappeared.

LDN has helped Helen immensely, as she now suffers no symptoms of CFS/ME at all and would recommend gaining knowledge of the medication, via research and speaking to their GP or others who have used it.

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

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

George was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) when he was fifty years old. The fatigue limited George’s ability to complete simple tasks and was offered no medication when he was diagnosed.

“There was little hope at the beginning that I would improve. My GP didn’t offer me any medication and insisted that we see how it goes. Though, as soon as I started Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), things changed.

LDN has solved my bladder issue, helped me with my sleep and I can now go on longer walks than I used to. I feel like I’ve got my life back.

I would like to recommend LDN to anyone who’s thinking about trying it, because it’s very low risk and it could yield great results for anyone who tries it”.
