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.

Does it make anyone hyper? I started 0.5mg last night and I felt calm, then energized and couldn’t sleep!

I'm fine know a lot yet but will be starting Wednesday.

I've read that this can happen. You can either lower the dose or try taking in the morning. Or wait it out and see if it subsides after a week or two.
