Immediately felt better after first dose of LDN at 0.5 ml
Hi guys,
I started taking Low Dose Naltrexone yesterday morning , I had long covid since march 2022.
I took 0.5 ml and after one hour I felt much better for the rest of the day (I have joint and back pain, fatigue, brain fog, muscle pain). This morning I woke up with pains again. And after taking 0.5 ml, again I felt much better after one hour...
Has someone had the same experience?
I tried so so many things... this can finally be the answer. Based on the efficacy of the medication I'll try to investigate the root cause of my symptoms and get more targeted tests. My regular blood tests show all fine.
Chatgpt suggests these tests:
It seems that a rapid response after just one dose of LDN could suggest that inflammation or microglial cell activation was playing a significant role in your symptoms.
Most Relevant Based on Your LDN Response
- Cytokine Panel: IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10.
- EBV and HHV-6 PCR: To rule out viral reactivation.
- Lactate/Pyruvate Ratio: To assess mitochondrial function.
- Advanced Autoimmune Panel: Focused on anti-phospholipid and ENA panel.
- Gut Permeability Markers: Zonulin, LPS-BP.
I'm in the Uk and my NHS GP won't do much. Any suggestion for private checks in London?
