I have been taking LDN since October - straight... never missed a dose, that was until I went away last weekend. I had written LDN down on a list of things to take, but because it is stored in the fridge, I left it until last to put in my luggage and I forgot. I realised when I was on my journey, too late to turn around.
I tried not to worry about it. What's 2 missed doses after all?
Well I can tell you that 2 missed doses is BAD... baaaaaaaaad!! I took one the night I got back, and I feel pretty much as if I am battling my body again... battling it's reaction to LDN. I was brave, I think, and started back on 3.5mg despite wondering if I should really be starting back down low at 0.5 or 1.5 or something. So far, I am just hanging in there. I really feel awful - I do think it's a mixture of not taking LDN and the fact I went away for a couple of nights. I also did not sleep well whilst away, which is fairly typical of me, but also not sustainable. I must remember never to do this again. It's not good...
I have slept well since I got back, but when I wake up, it's the typical: as if I never slept. I could sleep for weeks... but I can't as I have so much to do. Of course, just to finish me off, the weather is at 90 degrees F with no A/C. I stayed inside today for that reason - I feel bad for my parrots as they can't come out because all the windows are open, so I put them in their cage outside in the shade.
Oh no :( I hope you begin to feel better soon, it's nuts that only 2 missed doses have knocked you right back, and also really crappy. Still, I hope you had a nice time away x
ReplyDeleteIt is nuts! I read other people with M.E. saying if they missed one dose they were back to square one! Until it happened to me, it was hard to imagine as that seems quite absurd. I am mad at myself a bit because I was doing so well, and now seem to be relapsing. Xx
