I have now been on the Low Dose Naltrexone for about 5 weeks and it is the first drug that I have ever been able to say I absolutely love. I have more energy, when something needs doing I just get up and do it instead of having to push and push myself to get up. The depression is almost gone, My skin isn't dry and I no longer break out in hives (which I have done literally every day for 35 years). My hair is no longer dry and brittle but becoming softer and the wave is coming back. I used to have these spells where I would get dizzy (to the point of feeling like I would pass out) and nauseous, then have stomach cramps and diarrhea then it would pass and I would feel fine.... sometimes it would be really profound and other times it would be milder but last all day..... I've been dealing with this for 25 years and it's gotten to the point where it happens everyday and 6 different doctors couldn't tell me what was wrong.... It's gone.. completely gone. I haven't had a single headache in almost 3 weeks and I was getting them daily, my hands don't swell anymore.... my joints don't ache anymore. everyday I notice something else that's right for a change. After struggling so hard to exercise it is getting easier and I am walking a little faster and farther everyday... and I've even lost a couple of pounds. And NO bad side effects other than a little trouble sleeping for about 2 weeks but that's gone too.....

I have been on so many medications.... over so many years. Each time hopeful that THIS time it would work... THIS time it would be the right one..... but it never did and it never was. I don't think I am subject to a placebo effect or one of the dozens of others would have made me feel better...... I was a little worried that I was becoming hypomanic but none of my physical symptoms ever went away when I'm manic..... I'm still a little in shock.... I haven't felt this healthy in literally 15 years, not since I got Churg Strauss........ Christ even my asthma and allergies are clearing up. I'm going to try not taking the Zyrtec (which I have taken daily for 8 years for hives and it only partially helped) and see what happens.... I have literally not had a single hive in 2 weeks.... My sinuses are clear... I mean holy cow!! My doctor says that even though no one ever figured it out, it must have all been from an autoimmune disorder because that is what the LDN fixes..... I don't care anymore what it was.... I am just ecstatic that it's gone.

Sorry, I know I'm rambling but I feel like a kid at Disneyland.... :)
