LDN cream
Hey everyone! I just got prescribed LDN for crohns which is awesome! However the doc(Dr. Borenstein- in long island and Brooklyn) prescribed me the cream. He said I'm better off because my absorption is screwed up from crohns. Has anyone used the cream? I know most people use the pill form.

I have not used the LDN cream, but I do know it is used by some doctors, particularly with children.
It should work the same no matter what the delivery method. It does not usually work quickly, and there is often a worsening of symptoms before you turn the corner. This is not unusual and it takes six months to a year to really stabilize enough to tell if it is going to work for you. LDN is not a cure, but it is a very good treatment for those that respond positively to it. I have been using it for over two years, and I have done very well on it. It is not my only treatment, but it is an important part of my treatment. Dan |
