Oops, forgot to answer the question about LDN and surgery....

At first the anesthesi... said I shouldn't take it because apparently they always use narcotics WHILE a person is under. She said the anesthetic only makes us sleep, it's the narcotics that stops the pain (while we are sleeping).

She asked what happens to me if I don't take LDN for a day, and after explaining that , she said they would just jack up the narcotics a bit instead to combat the effects of the LDN. She's not too worried about it because it will almost be out of my system by the time I have my surgery anyway (about 14 hrs after taking it).

BTW, I knew we couldn't use codeine either with LDN (so no Tylenol 3), but she told me that codeine IS a narcotic (when I said "I can't use codeine or narcotics"). I never knew that.
