I have to have my hair practically scalped bald if I want my haircut to last much more than eight weeks. My hair is also getting curlier. I always did have a bit of a wave, but this is ridicules. If the weather is humid at all, I get ringlets. My nails also grow faster and stronger. It used to be that my nails would break off once they detached from the nail bed. Lately I have had to take a nail file to them to keep them trimmed.

Marion I'm glad your eye surgery is over with and healing despite the infection or allergy to whatever they put in your eye during surgery. Wow two more surgeries to fix the problem, that must have been a real bummer.:(

Also happy to hear that the LDN is finally kickin back in for you. :hug: When I read you last post about forgetting to take it, I ordered my refill early. I don't want to find out what it's like to be without the LDN.. EVER.

As for my head hair, it has always been full and fast growing. My nails long and thick (except while on Avonex, nails and hair spit). I need to file them constantly too.

I keep them long and filed square, polished with pinks or wild colors (tee hee), so people also ask me if they are acrylic nails.

Btw, I have for about the last past 10 years or so lost all body hair from the neck down. Same place I don't sweat, from the neck down.:confused: Strange.

Sally, I have noticed healing faster from cuts and minor injuries (scrapes, burns). I haven't noticed any moles disappearing but I haven't been on LDN as long as you have. I got a paper cut on my finger (yowch!:eek:) and it had almost healed completely 2 days later.

Yes you did, Kell and thanks..:hug:

Kelly, I hope this happens for me with longer use of LDN. Thanks to my father’s side of the genetic pool, I have a life-long and ongoing battle with skin tags.

:Wave-Hello: Hi Marion. :hug:

Sally, sorry I didn't get to answer your question, :hug: but I haven't been on LDN long enough to see any disappearing moles or any miraculous healings. (sigh).

I have normal healing time, no better, no worse. But I have always had problems with over-healing (scars). My dermatologist has been taking care of my many moles by making them disappear surgically. :) Over 100 at least, on my body and back, over the years.

As for skin tags, if I can reach it, I get a surgical blade from my dermatologist and cut them off myself. It cost too much to pay a co-pay for each visit $20.00.

In sensitive areas, I tie a string tight around a skin tag, knot it, and add alcohol daily to tighten the string. Then the skin tag dies and falls off in a week. They are from our clothes rubbing areas of the skin, like the neck, under arms, etc. Not many of them though.

I hope my cooking burns and paper cuts disappear faster in the future. You are very lucky Sally. The hot oven and a sudden hand tremor/jerk don't mix.:rolleyes:

Skin tags are easy, though annoying. I serialize them and snip them. It is important to keep them clean, but otherwise they are gone.

SallyC 07-10-2009 10:00 AM

I had heard, from others on LDN, about the Moles disappearing and thought it was just a coincidence, because it wasn't happening for me....until the last year or so.

The hair, nails and quick healing was happening, for me, from the beginning.

Isn't it amazing how much a little bit of Naltrexone can do? No wonder Docs/Scientists scoff at it.:D
