I have been taking LDN along with Minocin for about 2 years with no side effects. I am in remission so I would recommend it to anyone with RA.

Thank you Cosmo for your response. What dosage did your AP recommend for you?

Actually the LDN dreams are very nice. I am sure that many today’s novelists use it in order to find the subjects for their books. The important thing is to find a proper dose for you.

RA tried everything: Methotraxate, Arava, Humira. Pneumonia three times. Anemia. Very low iron. Hypothyroidism
AP from April 2014 till August 2015. No luck.
Current medications: Natural thyroid, Mobic, supplements,
vitamins and minerals.
MTHFR heterozygous

Hi Cookie,

LDN is a drug that you should be very careful with because it has the potential to make your RA worse (much worse in some cases). A cautious approach would be to start at a low dose (e.g., 0.5 mg) and slowly increase the dose until the optimum dose is reached (without exceeding 4.0 mg). Unfortunately, many doctors are not that cautious.
