    Update - I did the interview on Sunday afternoon with a very nice woman named Linda, who lives in London. She asked me questions about when I was diagnosed, my symptoms, what medications I was on previously, how I felt right before, how I found out about Low Dose Naltrexone, how long I've been taking it, who prescribed for me, how fast did I get result, and how do I feel now. I was so happy to tell my great story. In Europe there are many more thousands of people using this drug than here in the U.S. Doctors there are very open to trying alternative things, not like our doctors who are so afraid of lawsuits.

    I'll let you know when I hear anything from them.

    Well, he used the F word.....fibromyalgia. Two options. See a pain specialist, or new med, savella. Would not consider LDN. Gave me a sample of savella, which interacts with tons of other meds and multple side effects. I am an rn and frequently see pain specialist at hospital. I am going to talk to him next time I see him!!! Will update later.

    My friend dropped the dangerous stuff in favor of LDN just about a year ago to treat her Crohn's, and it has been miraculous for her. She has not had any attacks since them. Her doctor is amazed. She is glad he was open minded enough to be willing to prescribe it for her.
    It is well worth looking into for anyone with immune system diseases.

    I am so happy to hear your comments about your success with LDN. I'll keep posting updates to anything new I hear.

    Check out this website for info on European LDN organizations.

    I have RA and I take hydroxychloroquine. It's a medicine typically prescribed for malaria. Geez, can anyone imagine the poor fool who took hydroxychloroquine for malaria and then realized it actually helped their RA as well? LOL
