I just googled naltrexone and wondered why you would take it for fibro? I am searching for ANYTHING that might make me feel better. Already tried neurontin, Lyrica and Savella with no affect or improvement.
Thanks
Lisa

Default LDN helps with auto-immunity

its my understanding that LDN has benefit for autoimmunity. So if there is a autoimmune component to your CFG then it seems its worth a try. the side effect profile is minimal and it is a "low dose". kind of homeopathic to modulate the immune system.

Hello and welcome

"homeopathic" does not refer to just a small dose of something though?
Homeopathy is defined as "A system for the treatment of disease by minute doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would produce symptoms of disease."
I do also want to mention that some people do have side effects from LDN...in fact a family member of mine did, so one should always be sure to investigate potential side effects.

i should have put "homepathic" in quotes. i meant it as an analogy in the sense that it is a fraction of the regular dose of naltrexone. and of course it can cause side effects for some.

homeopathic injections, etc are usually so dilute of the original ingredient that in many cases it is untraceable. but the injection or tincture can usually modulate the immune system.
