Living with RA Deb's Experience with Low Dose Naltrexone
The LDN Radio Show About Low Dose NaltrexoneShow Notes
Deb from Australia shared her journey with rheumatoid arthritis, which she experienced for about four years before receiving a proper diagnosis. Initially, her GP attributed her chronic pain to other issues and suggested topical treatments. A physio at Nambbor General Hospital recognized her symptoms and referred her to a rheumatologist, who confirmed the diagnosis through blood tests and MRIs. Deb was prescribed methotrexate and folic acid but sought an alternative due to her desire for a healthier lifestyle. She turned to low-dose naltrexone (LDN) upon her integrative GP's recommendation. After starting on LDN, she experienced nausea and dizziness but persevered. Eventually, she reached a dose of 4.5 mg and became completely pain-free, significantly improving her quality of life. Deb expressed gratitude for LDN and noted feelings of euphoria and a boost in her overall health. Although her rheumatologist advised her to continue methotrexate for potential bone erosion, Deb felt fantastic on LDN and is looking forward to her next appointment. Additionally, she mentioned her background as a social worker, her previous burnout, and the possibility that autoimmune conditions run in her family.
