As I enter the third week of my Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) journey, I find myself facing new challenges that test my resolve. Despite my initial hopes, the stomach cramps and gastrointestinal issues have not only persisted but have actually gotten worse. This has been a significant setback, and it’s been difficult to stay positive amid the discomfort.
Adjusting the Dosage: A New Approach
Given the worsening symptoms, I’ve decided to take a three-day break from LDN to allow my body some time to recover. After this pause, I plan to restart at a much lower dose of 0.25ML. This new approach involves diluting the LDN pills in distilled water, a method recommended by the LDN Trust. For those interested, here is a guide to diluting LDN pills to achieve precise dosages.
Dealing with Discouragement
It’s disheartening to experience these setbacks, especially after feeling some initial hope. The pain has also spread to my hands and wrists, adding to the daily challenges. However, I am determined not to give up. Adjusting the dosage and giving my body time to adapt is a necessary step in finding the right balance.
Staying Active: Pushing Through the Pain
On a broader scale, I’m trying to stay active and incorporate exercise into my routine, despite the pain. Regular physical activity is known to benefit those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia, and I’m hoping it will help alleviate some of my symptoms in the long run.

Finding Resilience
Navigating this journey with LDN has been anything but straightforward. The side effects have been challenging, and there have been moments of doubt and frustration. However, I am committed to finding a path that works for me. It’s important to listen to my body, make necessary adjustments, and remain hopeful that relief is possible.
I am sharing these experiences not only to document my journey but also to provide support and insight for others who may be going through similar struggles. If you are on a similar path, know that setbacks are part of the process, and it’s okay to feel discouraged at times. What matters most is the determination to keep moving forward and the willingness to try different approaches until you find what works best for you.
