TJ from the United States uses Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for a very rare autoimmune disease, Birdshot retinochoroidopathy.
Birdshot retinochoroidopathy is where there is limited pigmentation in the retina, looking like a shotgun, where there is a scattering of cream coloured dots, no pigmentation in the retina.
In 1998, TJ required surgery on the back of her eye, where he would need early cataract surgery. Her vision with yellow and greens were off, she was also noticing odd shapes in his eye. In 2014, she noticed a bubbling in his weaker eye. After speaking to her Neuro- Ophthalmologist, her vessels were inflamed and leaking, where he then explained that TJ has Retinal Vasculitis.
After some time, her Acupuncturist spoke to TJ about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) ,and in January of 2016 she was prescribed LDN. The next morning TJ noticed great placebo because the bubbling was gone.
Tom - TJ’s husband - is a clinician who has done much research, and observing differences and changes in people. Tom has noticed that TJ is happier, friendlier and not as cautious after taking LDN. Tom also says that TJ has improved and she had no initial side effects
