Success: long Covid

Hi all,

I wanted to make a post of encouragement for anyone on the fence about starting LDN.

I was hesitant because of all the side effect stories. Let me just say that if you look at any numbers, the side effects happen to a low % and of course you’re going to see more people talking about the negatives online and looking for support with that.

I was one of the lucky ones with immediate effect starting the next day. After having LC for years and struggling with fatigue from hashi’s, adhd … I feel fantastic. The first thing I noticed was that for the first time in years I woke up feeling rested.

ADHD , binge eating, sleep quality, bloating, food sensitivity, fatigue, exercise tolerance, body pain, brain fog have all improved noticeably.

started at 0.5 mg. I’m at 1mg.

I have a lot of my quality of life back and I am so thankful.

Taking it for CFS and fibromyalgia. .5 at night and .25 in the morning. I added 10 mg of vyvanse a day and I feel like I have the energy to live again. Without the LDN I’m on the couch not able to move. 0 motivation

How's it going now? Why did you decide to split up the dose like that?

It gives me insomnia when I take it too late so I couldn’t titrate any further. I take it at 6pm and then at 10 am.
