This feels like the most stupid thing I've done in recent years.
I started with 1½ mg/day in the end of April. In one or two days, I discovered asthma-symptoms from my chest, rhonchi and some wheezes, although not particularly alarming. After I got asthma quite sudden and unexpected in my 20s, I've done well without any medication for over five years now. But every now and then, I've noticed some milder symptoms, just as a reminder, so to say.
The last years, I've come down with one longlasting cold each year - each spring, actually - not particularly severe. Ten days after I'd started with LDN, it felt like I'd caught a pneumonia. I do not think it was a pneumonia, but it felt like that. In a few days I've come to feel more miserable than for ages - miserable in the typical way of acute infections of the respiratory tract, that is different than my usual misery (likely associated with generalized inflammation). By then, I'd started to question whether LDN "might have worsened this year's spring cold?"
I made first one day's pause with LDN, then after two more days of medication, I decided to call the LDN-experiment off, at least for now. My condition improved when I paused, and worsened again when I continued with LDN.
Now, it's almost a week later, and I'm quite angry at myself.
The cold-like symptoms have almost disappeared. My nose is no longer runny, pain from sinuses is mild-to-moderate.
But the asthma-symptoms remain. Maybe they are milder It's plausible. But there is a cumulative effect on me: Even if the symptoms get milder each day, the total effect is still that I'm a little worse each day than I was the day before.
I can not know for sure, if LDN is the culprit. But it seems rather likely that my "old" asthma was re-activated by my LDN-experiment.
The for now most important asthma symptom is anxiety.
If I can't control and limit the anxiety, I fear it will end with a serious crash.
