You would greatly benefit from a low carb diet for both autoimmune + metabolic issues. Unlikely LDN sent you into AF (I work in cardiology, my husband is also an electrophysiologist). Your metabolic issues are likely the primary driver for AF.

What dosage were you taking?

Most doctors don't know how much you should take. My doctor started me on too large of a dose and I researched it and found out how to start it. I started on 0.5 mg. and worked up to 4.5 mg. where as my immunologist had started me at 12.5 which is way too much. It comes in a 50 mg. tab and I compound it myself mix it with 50 ml. of distilled water. The large dose made me very ill for an afternoon. Vomiting, brain shocks, etc. I have a heart problem also where my electrical system has partially shut down and I have too high and low heart rhythm. Still in the diagnose stage for that and have an implanted loop recorder to monitor my heart.The danger is AFIB, and I take med for that, and my have to get a pacemaker. Make sure your doctors know about what you are taking and why.

Have you noticed improvements?

@@kjkernSerendipity well yes I wouldn't be taking it once daily for 13 years if I didn't. It is a lifelong treatment and that's what I intend to do. I don't have vivid dreams anymore but in the beginning I did I wake up thinking that the dream was real that was a trip. But also I have switched to daytime dosing instead of nighttime dosing some people end up doing that I did that halfway through so maybe like six years ago. And if you wanna learn a lot about start of Low-dose-naltrexone-aka-LDN you can look up Dr. Bahari on KZfaq he was using 50 mg x3 daily on his alcoholic patients and found out months go by the alcohol patients that had multiple sclerosis were actually feeling better. So he started experimenting with the doses lower and lower and lower till he can get the same effect Without a full 150 mg a day doses.? 3.0 mg Was good dose he landed on. Few yrs later then one day one of his MS patients who was taking 2.5 accidentally took her medication twice in the a few hours and she said she felt better so he started trying & then prescribing 4.5. Like I said it doesn't have a lot of studies also no big pharmaceutical rep is going to come in push and LDN at $10 a month because it's so inexpensive well at least it was when I started buying it it was $10 a month now it's up to $35. Most insurance Doesn't cover it because it's a compound medicine that they have absolutely no clue about. Some people will get prescribed naltrexone and then diluted with distilled water and use a syringe to dose. But the problem that people have been having over the years is ins tagged some as narcotic Abusers if they are prescribed full doses of naltrexone so you see the catch 22 there. That's why I just get it compounded I started a Facebook group of April 2011 called got endorphins? LDN and it's still up-to-date 22,000 members. But I got so burned out on it I gave it to my admin for the past four years. But it's still going strong. It's not as technical and as rigid as the group that he suggested.

Hello, curious who you see in the St. Louis area that Rx's LDN? My niece lives there and is looking for a more holistic doctor. Thank you!

​@@cheribeck101Hi there. The Dr. Is Kathy Maupin, MD and her practice has evolved away from regular GYN practice into hormone treatments, etc. It is called BIOBALANCE HEALTH, on Olive Blvd. She employs several well qualified Nurse Practitioners who also administer treatments and prescribe LDN, among others. Hope that helps : )

Hello, would you mind sharing the name of your Dr. I the STL area. I have peripheral neuropathy and PCOS, and would like to get another opinion.

I've put in a comment to answer someone's question twice, but it won't show up! My Dr. in the St. Louis area that handles hormone replacement is Dr. Kathy Maupin, MD. She focuses only on hormones and some other things, but no longer does traditional GYN exams, etc. Her practice is called BIOBALANCE HEALTH, located on Olive Blvd. Hope that helps.

@@shelleykapp9637 it was prerecorded

Uh oh 😳 if it helps too well, FDA will block pharmacies from distributing it like they did ivermectin...you know the horse de-wormer...

EMF… phone blockers are BS. We used a high end spectrum analyzer. Earthing sheets have an error in the lead wire… needs to be shielded. As to my side effect. Bluetooth sets off my tinnitus. Buddy has a tech store. Some days all Bluetooth active and other days none. I recorded the trigger days and then we compared… yup.

And what happens when you microdose Ozempic?

@@kjkernSerendipity I wouldn’t do that personally

@@ShawnTassoneMDPhD I wouldn't either; fascinating topic, nonetheless.

I was wondering

I've been on LDN for over 13 years as of June. And I do belong to some health groups. And I have done so much research on my own problems even though LS is not one of them I have a problem with oxalate, Oxalate Toxicity. And I did see a piece online from the Mayo clinic about oxalate toxicity and LS
