I am about to start LDN for the third time. I tried it 3 yrs ago, then again a year ago. Now my doc and I have figured out I need to start much lower, 1ml. I was glad to see your post on it!

This was good advice, so bumping it.Hi Birdie, Lots of salt.
Every time I eat my sugar,protein,fat snack/meal (8 - 10 times a day, the fat is mostly coconut oil) I have 1/4 teaspoon salt (Sometimes more) with every feeding. That is the single thing that has made a MASSIVE difference with my adrenaline, cortisol and stress hormones. I was taking no where near enough and now that I am the difference is so unbelievably amazing I still cant believe it. Peatarian said she needs 3 tablespoons a day to get the desired effects. Im probably not too far off 2. Im so used to it now I literally chuck it into my mouth dry. That might make some throw up mind which is counter productive as our bodies make us throw up by releasing a sudden massive dose of serotonin.
Carrot too, never skip the carrot every day. People forget that not only does it supress endotoxin it also significantly stops serotonin from being reabsorbed back into the blood stream. If that continues to happen, more cortisol, adrenaline and a viscious circle ensues.
Good luck! Its a rollercoaster finding your balance and takes time (Still havent quite found mine yet, especially with the thyroid supplement)
Looking back to 2012, I see that I tried 3.5ml at first. That was recommended by some of the NDL forums back when I started it.I am about to start LDN for the third time.

Here, I find a better description of my LDN beginning dose.This site is so well done. It is pleasant and pretty. I can find things.
Anyway, wanted to mention that I have been using Low Dose Naltrexone. I started mid-August with 1.5mg. First week in Sept upped dose to 2mg. Raised it to 3mg 29th Sept. Then to 3.5mg mid October.
The main benefit I've noticed is better mood. This better mood started around 4 November.
I've had some sleep problems with it only in the past 5 days. It may be time to re-evaluate my thyroid meds. But I've had this cold that's blocking rational thought. Soon, will get to it.
The other thing is that I've gotten weird, sudden pains in the limbs and the head as a side effect. This seems to be normal and subsides in a lot of people.
I think, but am not sure, that the elevated mood indicates that 3.5mg might be my best dose. I sure do like it that the sadness I've had for years/forever has lifted.
Yes, I take 2 regular aspirins at bedtime daily. If I awaken with pain, I usually take 2 more. I also use DMSO and MSM. Have been using DMSO for 30+ years and find it helps. I also use cold packs on pain areas.. And I do some trigger point work on myself. My shoulder is stiff and hurting just now. I moved a few things in the garden these past few days. Always something it seems. I'd better go do some therapy. Kinda get sick of doing it but gotta.@Birdie
I'm doing the naltrexone with some good results; thanks for recording that. (3.5 mg/night.)
Do you take aspirin? If so, have you found that it helps with pain?
