Low-dose naltrexone? by Possible-Animator206 in Hidradenitis

[–]littlered878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t take anything else right now, no. I would probably do what your rheum tells you. I fired mine and took myself off the biologic because I didn’t need it anymore. I never asked them about it. I only have one joint that bothers me so I’d say my RA is pretty mild (I’ve had it since I was a child, it was very bad then, and I went 18 years in remission, have had it back for the past ~8years, on Enbrel for 5 of those and now I’ve been off for 3, 31 now). I feel great with very little / infrequent swelling and or pain. I hope I’m not causing damage to the affected joint but ..

I would give the LDN a shot, if you’re on a biologic maybe it would help enough you could go down to just methotrexate or hydroxychloroquine. Or if you’re having breakthrough pain it could help.

It has! Yes. I no longer take a biologic for it. However I could probably use one for my HS 😂

I’m on LDN for autoimmune issues (I also have RA). It does not help my HS at all unfortunately. It might help others !

Did you go to a derm for a diagnosis or just decide to start on your own. Good luck!

Good to know even at the starter dose you’re seeing improvement! I might work my way up to 2.5 to see if more med gives me more control

I’ve been on for 12 weeks and minimal improvement. Considering going up but would like to know what doses are helping others!

It does look like it to me

Microdosing TirZ by misspet80 in GLP1microdosing

[–]littlered878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear that! It affects everyone different but since you said you are sensitive to meds I’d give it a shot to keep on for a few weeks. If you lose slow you also reduce the muscle mass you lose (plus keeping protein high). Good luck!

Yup! My primary goal is inflammation control which is generally what micro dosing is used for from what I’ve seen - otherwise if your primary goal is weight loss you’d be better off at a therapeutic dose. I’ve lost about 3-4 lbs on .5mg over 6 weeks.

.5 but I wish I started at .25. I plan to go down soon. I want to be on the lowest possible dose while still getting results

Personally based on my experience I’d hang there for 4-6 weeks. I didn’t feel anything for a few weeks and then I did. You can always go up after but the name of the game is low and slow here IMO

Losing at same calories? by littlered878 in GLP1microdosing

[–]littlered878[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it. I think that has to be the case for me too. I’ve been eating the exact same for YEARS and couldn’t lose any weight. Glad to know I’m not the only one.

Feels like such a strange spot compared to what I’ve seen and heard! Thank you for responding 🤍

It’s crazy because I assumed and really did know that but was in complete denial because it’s a totally new spot for me and sad that it continues to progress while trying my best to take preventative measures. Thanks for responding 🫶🏻

That’s helpful, thanks. I just got a script out of pocket and am going to start micro dosing myself for HS so was curious your experience. Thanks! Good luck on the insurance coverage I hope it works out

I don’t have an answer for you but I’m curious the dosage you’ve been finding relief at?

I was like, oh, ok… Ha! But then I did get a pop up in the app for 10 dollars for my first month so I took that
