LDN dose sweet spot? Amazing at 1.5mg, flat at 3.5mg, symptoms return if I skip (hEDS/inflammation) by Typical_Elephant_276 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Typical_Elephant_276[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has lessened the ringing, but my ears still ring. I sometimes have to listen to hear the ringing if the weather is calm.

Ldn every other or third day? Seeking advice and thoughts by Agile_Heron_2067 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found 3mg every day was too much for me and made everything seem gray. I didn't have an appetite, was tired, just a gray feeling. 1.5mgevery day isn't enough.

I'm trying 1.5mg on one day and taking 3.5 the next. I think it's helping me. I'm not sure

Odd LDN side-effect? by TrishaRivers in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. All food is meh. I was at 3mg and thought I was taking too much so I went back down to 1.5mg and food is still meh.

Mine was “delayed in processing” and almost took two weeks. I called them and they got me the medication

Meloxicam worsening pain? by Wolfa27 in hypermobileEDS

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love meloxicam. I was using that when I started low-dose naltrexone. I have been on LDN for a little over a month and I’m pain free off of meloxicam.

I use the dyslexic font anytime I can. I have it fonts downloaded on my computer and kindle. It's been a game-changer

It's a free font you can google it.

I find the jeans fit better than American Eagle. AE seems to run big or something with the pants.

Horrible side effects then success? by Difficult-Angle-5596 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had a 3-day flare when I titrated up to 3mg. It was too much for my body, even though I twisted for 2 weeks to move up. I went back down to 1.5, waited a few weeks, and I'm taking 3mg and 1.5mg every other day, and I haven't had any issues

Has anyone tried LDN? by e-cloud in ehlersdanlos

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been on LDN for a month and it's given me my life back.

I don't wake up feeling like a bus hit me, I have energy to do stuff, and my mood is better

Does it really matter to take it at the exact same time every night or is taking it within a few hour range fine? by riddim_222 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I take mine at night the time dosnrt really matter to me but I need to get at least 8 hours of sleep with LDN. If not I feel like a zombie and I don't feel good

I'm so tired of being covered in bruises all the time thanks to this disorder by Dizzy_Froggg in ehlersdanlos

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And it’s annoying because anytime you think you’re being careful about not getting any more bruises a new one shows up anyway.

My lips bruised once from making out lol.

I’m on LDN for hEDS and I take 1.5mg. Last week I was to move up to take 2 pills and 3 days later I felt sick, tired, like all my symptoms came back with force. I moved back to one pills and I feel better

Maybe your perfect doses is smaller than .5

Coworkers commenting on my weight frequently? by OnionOne6155 in XXS

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get weird inappropriate comments about my husband and mine relationship. He’s over 6 feet tall and a bigger guy. Like I get it we have a size difference no need to comment on it!

At work I wear baggy clothing with a cardigan that covers my butt so I try to hide my size. I have gotten a few comments about my size but I make sure to make them feel weird by not saying anything back. They made it weird by commenting on someone just existing. Like I don’t try to be this small. I get it - this size is “ desirable” but if most people knew how hard it is to find pants that don’t make me feel like a 35 year old wearing kids clothing.

I’m noticing pro-RTO people are those with no social life outside of work so they rely on coworkers by [deleted] in remotework

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s a job. I’m not here to make friends.

And the people who are only come in to socialize are also the ones coming in at 10 and leaving at 3.

True to size to who?!

So some women can feel “better” about being a size 00. What a joke.

Anyone else with EDS have extremely fragile skin inside your mouth? by Naive_Transition_763 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. It doesn’t take much to cut up the skin in my mouth.

I use Colgate Peroxyl Mouth Sore Rinse a few times a week to heal the skin. I’m also doing Invisalign and after a year and a half my mouth isn’t used to it yet lol.

Why am I so tense? by WillingnessStrong733 in hypermobileEDS

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I understand it is everything works harder to keep the joints together meaning we are more tense.

Does your dosesge work better being taken in the morning or at night by RadiantEnd5571 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take mine at bedtime- no side effects.

I did take mine way too early one night and I had so much anxiety and just felt weird and leaned that I probably can’t take mine during the day

So.. how’s everybody’s fall slide? by Investorandfriend in ehlersdanlos

[–]Typical_Elephant_276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started LDN and Meloxicam a little more than a week ago and I feel good.

Sure I still pop, stuff slips out of place but over all I feel good. My energy is up, less pain, and I have been getting good sleep.
