My dd had a doc visit today. I took the opportunity to ask the doc (whom I really respect and have faith in) if he's familiar with low dose naltrexone. He was not, so I said I was going to leave him with these papers to read at his leisure and then i'll make an appointment for him to prescribe it.
I had been nervous about the asking, but now it's done. He'll read the papers, I'll follow up in a few to see if he's read them and make my appointment. Since he knows me well, and we've worked together over many years, I feel some tiny bit of confidence at the moment. We shall see....

Anyone who's using LDN, can you weigh in here on how you're feeling, what side effects are getting you etc? THanks!!
Now, let's just hope this stuff works for you. I've got my fingers crossed.
Thanks for the updates.
NurseTracey, after all my reading I decided I did not want to go through the titrating up and the side effects that MAY occur each time, so I'm starting right off with the usually optimal dose of 4.5; if it turns out to seem not right, I'll ask the doc to write a lower one.
