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.”

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

Jean Luc, living in England started noticing symptoms in 1975 with his eyesight, but doctors could not place what the error was. For 10-15 years, symptoms were still regular, with back pain and a common balance problem. As well as tingling hands and fingers.

In 2002, Jean started receiving help from a neurologist, who told him he had Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Jean heard about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) after being in an exercise group; Jean loved the LDN medication, finding it “extraordinary!” He recommends Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to everyone, and encourages people to try it.  At this time however, Doctors would not prescribe it to Jean, but fortunately his Neurologist agreed to prescribe LDN to him.

During the time Jean was taking his LDN medication, he started having problems with fatigue. But he does feel more logical and focused! 

Before the LDN medication, Jean rated his quality of life between a 1-2 and now a strong 7!

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

Jean from the United States was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2000. She experienced dizziness, numbness and vertigo prior to the diagnosis; all of which would come and go after a period of days. Three years before the diagnoses, Jean lost the majority of hearing in her right ear, and almost half in her left.

Jean first came across LDN after searching the web and reading about someone taking it in Florida, and it just so happened that her mother had a place there. So, in 2001 she flew down and saw a GP that prescribed her LDN. Jean felt no initial side effects at all and not long after starting the medication, her vertigo had gone and is now in remission. MRI and other various tests have shown that the majority of Jean’s lesions have also either shrunk or disappeared entirely

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

Jazzy from the United States  takes LDN for multiple sclerosis. She first started to notice MS symptoms when she was twelve. She had paralysis on the left side of her face which went away after about a month and it wasn't until she turned 31 that she noticed the left side of her face was numb and didn't know what it was.

She saw a neurologist and he sent her for an MRI and there was plaque build up on the left side of the brain causing  numbness to the right side of the face. And that's when she was diagnosed with MS. 

The bottom of her feet would also sometimes be numb.

She was offered steroids right away but she didn't want to take them.

She began researching healing from MS rather than looking at the negatives. The only thing that really came up in a positive light online was LDN.  Before  starting  Low Dose Naltrexone she had numbness, tingling and was given steroids to alleviate the pain. The numbness and tingling later spread to her spine which scared her so she wanted treatment.  Her quality of life scoring was 4. She was depressed at the prospect of disease progression.

When she began taking LDN she didn't notice any introductory side effects other than finding it hard to sleep on the first night but felt instantly better in the morning; even better than before the MS began and she has taken it since October 2013

She would recommend it to anyone as there are no side effects.

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.

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