Hi Marion,

The rushes/hot flashes were a transitory thing for me . . . I think I only got them for a week or two. It will be interesting to see if things level off for you when you get on 3.0mg for a while.

As far as sleeping, unless I've been sick, I've not slept more then 6 hrs in a row since being on LDN. I awake fully refreshed, and am good for about another 6 or 7 hrs. When I sleep in the afternoon (which is mandatory!), it's usually 2 - 3 hrs, and if I wake up before my body is ready, I don't feel refreshed. Sometimes all it takes is another 10 - 60 min, but I listen to the queues and go back to sleep until I wake up feeling good. (I've learned not to fight that because I will NEVER wake up if I don't just take the extra sleep I need).

I'm not sure if my sleeping patterns are related to the LDN, because I was very out-of-whack for years before going on LDN (slept for days, no sleep for days...). At least now I have a pattern, albeit a strange one.

The "calm to the core" feeling is what most people get, even if nothing else.

You are still at a very low dosage, so that you are seeing any improvement is great news.

The LDN was extremely helpful for my spasticity, but I don't think it's helped my neurological pain much (burning, sensitivity to touch, numbness, itchiness, etc.). It's hard to say because those sensations are intermittent anyway, and I've been on LDN so long that I don't know how things would be without it.

... time will tell.

Cherie
