As of late I have had debilitating pain,so I have not been around much. I have cut my meds in half in order too restore the reseptor too my lower bowl.
I was in the state of my bowl not contracting because of the part of my brain was being shut down ,by the pain meds, that controled the contracting of the lower bowl.
All the more reason too fight for aggresive early treatment. Do not take no for an answer. Fight tooth and nail for your right too proper treatment of early lyme. You do not want too end up like Me. appleseed

so sorry to hear that, i fully understand pain issues. LLMD tried LDN knowing i was on heavy opiods and i ended up in er with seizures, i didnt know not to mix and i think LLMD should have??
bowel programs need to be done with pain meds for that reason. (that you are having) using senokot-s to titrate up until you are using restroom daily can be very useful and gentle.
i hope you are able to get things under control. for some NOT on any pain meds the LDN has worked great i hear, just not for me. is opposite of how narcotics work wonder if that would help you??
best wishes

You may consider a smaller dose of a stronger opiate/opioid like fentanyl or dilaudid, if you're on large doses of C3s (Vicodin, codine) or lower-end C2s (Percocet, which is what I take, Oxy Contin) I'm sorry for your pain and hope you find a solution soon.
Remember, if you take ANY opiates eat plenty of fruit, fiber and the like!

Can you take LDN if you need to take low dose (2.5 mg) Vicodin several times a week for migraines and other pain?
