I've just started a low dose of LDN, 0.25mg every other day. I am at the start of the second week. I am experiencing a few side effects, all bearable, just, slight sore throat, tender neck glands, slightly nasally and increased head pain (this is not so bearable).
On another forum someone said these hopefully temporary increase of symptoms is due to herxheimer. However, I've read on here that Ldn increases immune activity. I take it that increased immune activity is different to herxheimer, with herxheimer being the result of die off of toxins and increased immune activity doesn't necessarily mean any virus', bacteria are being killed off?
Also is increased immune activation the same as inflammation? Never exactly sure what people mean when they talk about increased inflammation after taking certain medication.
Thanks in advance
