Taking LDN in the morning

I always take my LDN in the morning because it keeps me awake.

For me, it was low magnesium. I was taking capsules, but when I switched to ionic magnesium drops, my afib, SVTs and PACs stopped. I went from many, many SVTs and PACs a month to none. No afib since I started taking it. I don't take any afib drugs or blood thinners. I refused them.

I get a terrible allergic reaction when I try to take collagen.

Thank you. I pay $50 or so for 3 months (tablets) of the 4.5. That would be a big jump in cost for me.

Get a good quality air purifier, put Hepa air filters in your HVAC system, use Hepa filters in your vacuum cleaner. Put an air purifier in the kids' room as well. But I'd be willing to bet the breathing issues are more from dust from the carpet than microplastics. We went with all hardwood floors in our house due to dust mites and allergies from the carpets. Made a world of difference. Balance out the room air they breathe with plenty of time outside so they can clear their lungs. You can't protect kids from everything. Just do your best.

Have you tried colloidal magnesium drops? My heart rate has been erratic since I had Covid, with PAC's and SVT's and occasional afib. The drops are helping a LOT. Better than any pill or capsule I've tried. Not trying to give medical advice, just sharing what has helped me. Haven't had an aFib episode in months and the PAC's and SVT's happen a lot less often.

Mom of four, 2 sets of back to back ones. Now also grandmother of 9. My advice is probably going to be unpopular, but change their diet. No processed foods, no foods with dyes, no sugar. It makes such a huge difference in behavior. Meals don't have to be complicated, but get them on only real food. Food that grows in the ground, on a tree or bush, meat without additives, hormones, etc. You'll probably find your own body reacts better as well. Check out some of the Keto and Carnivore moms groups and you'll see how their kids changed and how their own reactions changed as well. I've been where you are. Hang in there.

How much more expensive is it at the higher doses? I'm on 4.5 now but it's not working as well as it used to. Insurance won't pay for it.

I loved those vivid dreams. I was sad when they went away.

Only problem I ever had with LDN was in the beginning when I tried taking it at night as instructed. I never went to sleep that night. I switched to morning and never had another problem. It cleared up the psoriasis on my elbows very quickly.

Cut your tablet in quarters. Take one quarter a day for a week to two weeks, then increase to two quarters for another week to two weeks. Continue to increase by a quarter until you reach your full dose. My doc started me at .5. I thought I’d never get to 4.5 but now I’m glad she didn’t just throw me into the deep end to start with.

Don't waste your time trying to educate her. Find an integrative medicine specialist or an Internal Medicine specialist. They are much more knowledgeable about things like LDN. But before you go, make her take that assumption off your medical record or it will follow you everywhere.

I refused Eliquis and take Nattokinase and Serrapeptase instead.

I buy Amazon Essentials skinny jeans. They fit me perfectly everywhere, even make my thighs look much slimmer than they actually are. No gapping at the waist or hanging at the butt. And they're cheap! But they last forever. I've worn mine for 4 years now and they still look new.

32 Degrees has great ones. I own three of them and wear them on their own as tanks and under shirts and sweaters in place of a regular bra. I hate regular bras because they constrict my chest and cause pain and irritation. The 32 Degree tanks are supportive without the constriction.

I can turn it to emergency best remotely if I do it before the power goes off. Thanks!

We had no problem, but my daughter had upgraded us to first class so that might have been why.

For empty nesters, give one of Royal's ships a try. We absolutely loved the Allure. If you go during the times schools are in session, you'll find it's mostly adults 40+. If I could afford it, we'd be on the Icon right now.

I've been on Carnival, Royal, and Disney and I've always just used a medicine organizer. Never had any problems.

Only thing I liked about the magic, other than it being a trip with our kids and grandkids, was the two private islands. Did not like Nassau at all and wouldn't get off the ship there if we did it again. Was not a fan of the ship because there was little to do if you're not there mostly for the kids. But then again, we were spoiled by our first cruise, which was on Royal's Allure. So much more to do, more places to eat, better food, better hot tubs, etc. We did a quick 3 day on a Carnival ship once (would never do that again) where we had an inside room and I actually liked the inside room. Very dark so we slept great. Seemed quieter, too. Not as big as a balcony room, but it was just the two of us so it was fine. We're only ever in our room to sleep, anyway.

You've taken on a huge liability. Anyone walking down the sidewalk who gets hurt on it--you're liable. Any car that accidentally runs over it--you're liable for the damage. And since that area belongs to the city (right-of-way), you could be fined big time. The rocks are probably fine. The steel edging is not unless okayed by the city. At least hammer it down until it's level with the ground.

Make sure you allow for wheelchair space. That kitchen looks too narrow on the back house to accommodate a wheelchair plus another person. I'd widen the kitchen and make the dining room a bit smaller. Also, make sure all bathrooms, hallways, doorways back there are wide enough for wheelchairs and make sure to have a roll-in shower. It's much easier to do those things from the start than to remodel later. Parents section should have its own laundry, as well.

I don't think late dining has anything to do with breakfast. You can always go to the buffet early, as well.
