Sally, about that feeling of anti-ageing, I don't know to tell the truth. I do feel that LDN gives us a good, well-being-feeling. It is a mood lifter and pain reliever too.

I don't feel my age. But I wish I could do many things I did in my youth, like dance all night, skate, climb hills, keep going for 18+ hours a day, non-stop, etc. But that is the disease.

I do feel so much better since on LDN, I have many improvements so I can't complain.

Maybe complaining is a sign of age? Maybe we are just all young kids at heart.

Here is Wiki stuff.

What are Endorphins?

Endorphins are endogenous opioid polypeptide compounds. They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during exercise, excitement, pain, consumption of spicy food and orgasm, and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a feeling of well-being.

Endorphins work as "natural pain relievers."

The term "endorphin" implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. It consists of two parts: endo- and -orphin; these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine, intended to mean "a morphine-like substance originating from within the body."

The term endorphin rush has been adopted in popular speech to refer to feelings of exhilaration brought on by pain, danger, or other forms of stress, supposedly due to the influence of endorphins.

When a nerve impulse reaches the spinal cord, endorphins are released which prevent nerve cells from releasing more pain signals. Immediately after injury, endorphins allow animals to feel a sense of power and control over themselves that allows them to persist with activity for an extended time.

PS: LDN increases are own Endorphins, while we sleep.
