Day 2 of ldn and feel like c**p

[Mary]

What a never ending battle of awfulness!

I've often tried to think of a good way to describe what we go through, but you said it perfectly!

Here's a response from a knowledgeable member of one of the Yahoo LDN groups.

LDN upregulates the body’s endorphins and met-enkephalins (met enkephalin known as OGF - Opioid Growth Factor), as well as the receptors for the endorphins and OGF to attach onto. The goal is to have LDN antagonising the receptors for around 4 hours.

This then allows for the remaining 20 hours of the day for the upregulated levels of endorphins and OGF to interact with the upregulated receptors. It is this cell interaction that inhibits inflammation, pain and cell proliferation.

Thanks @ahmo - here's another link: http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/

I know I have a problem with HHV6 and low NK cell count (and probably other things as well), so am hoping the ldn will boost my immune system ---

Mary, that is my polite explanation. Most days I add a lot more expletives!!

I have hashimotos and high antibodies so Im hoping it will help with this. I could not tolerate thyroxine and not willing to try another T med for a looooong time (so traumatised from the thyroxine) so if this helps then I would be OVER THE MOON...

I'll take anything. Literally a 5% improvement would be wonderful.

@digital dog - I hope you get it!
