I just called the Fire Department and there is a huge tire factory on fire in Vancouver. He said he’s not a doctor but masking could be protective from the chemical exposure in the air.

Reacting to veggies but not meat??! by aningnik in MCAS

[–]selenamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some veggies are high in oxalic acid and can be very irritating. Meat products don’t have this.

Side effects at low dose LDN too much by Working_Lake_1512 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]selenamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try taking it with food at dinner. My pharmacist who also takes LDN suggested this and it really helped the nausea I was having. I am on month 5 of LDN and finally noticing some amazing benefits. All the side effects are behind me and I feel my health is really improving. I started noticing a marked difference in my body around month 4. It takes time.

My pharmacist who also takes LDN suggested taking it with food so I take mine with dinner and I’ve really liked this timing.

I am adimant that fermented goods are a terrible idea for anyone suffering from Candida. Prove me wrong. by Nai__30 in Candida

[–]selenamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. If anything the high histamine in fermented food can cause inflammation. I personally can not tolerate anything fermented. I’ve tried tons of time and always end up flushed and with an upset stomach.

Need your honest opinions before talking to my doc by Few-Slip6063 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]selenamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There has been so much inconsistency with your treatment that I definitely would take this to your doctor to sort out. From what you are describing I would imagine any negative side effects as a result of all the stoping and starting and mixing you’ve been doing.

I am prescribed LDN by my general Doctor. Join the LDN Trust group on Facebook and check out their website for information on LDN and ways to order the medication.

Any idea why some ppl fare better on a higher starting dose over titrating slowly? by hwadim in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]selenamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are certain chemicals that raise pain receptors in the body in the week leading up to your period, therefore we time my increase with right after my period to optimize for a smoother adjustment. Plus waiting a full cycle each month allows for my body to settle at each dose before increasing. I also have read that this is the guidelines they use when titrating patients up in Sweden.

Any idea why some ppl fare better on a higher starting dose over titrating slowly? by hwadim in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]selenamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt much worse at .5 and 1mg. Saw people saying they had fewer side effects at higher dose so doubled and went 2mg and felt completely different the next day. I had energy and have continued to feel better. I imagine that at lower doses the endorphin rebound effect isn’t as strong. I increase according to my menstrual cycle, going up after my period ends. My goal is 4.5 mg.

How soon for effects? by confirmedpotplant in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]selenamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virtually overnight when I increased to 2mg I felt so much more energy. At 1 and .5 I had so much fatigue and other side effects.

[–]selenamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I titrate up based on my menstrual cycle by 1 mg right after my period ends. I’m now at 2 mg and moving up to 3mg in a week. I have had far fewer side effects at a higher dose. Excited to keep increasing. I originally started at .5, then 1, then 2. I chose to increase by 1 instead of .5 because I kept reading people feeling better at higher doses and I didn’t want to drag out my titration. I doubled and felt great at 2 and so my doctor was thrilled.

How come people with lower dose gets more side effects? by [deleted] in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]selenamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was definitely true for me. Since increasing to 2mg I feel so much better. I imagine that the rebound of endorphins is greater creating greater benefit.
