Has anyone tried LDN (low dose naltrexone) for their fibromyalgia?

It seems that there is so much written on the topic of LDN as a treatment for fibromyalgia and that it has helped a lot of people. Has anyone on this forum tried it with any success? Please let me know!
If you haven't heard of it, this article speaks about it and gives a lot of information
Thanks everyone!

Hello i have been prescribed LDN but i am due to start on Saturday.. have you started yet?

Hi some years ago, I was using the MS support group and there was a lot of talk about LDN helping with a variety of issues eg bladder urgency, poor sleep, pain. It wasn`t available generally, but a private prescription was available if your neuro or MS nurse wrote a letter agreeing for MSers to use it.
I did this. It cost around £21 a month...cant recall for sure....it was obtained from one place only....a pharmacy in Scotland.
So, I tried it. It calmed my bladder and helped me sleep better. But the advantages were short lived..just a few weeks, so I stopped it.
I have no knowledge of it helping with fibro.
Are you getting on from your neuro or GP on scripts? Hope it helps x
