Histamine attacks & LDN

June 1, 2019

I have been on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for many years for my fibro & arthritis pain and it has worked wonders. Now I am fighting urticaria, which turns into infected rashes. Doc said my antibodies are attacking me. If correct LDN stimulates my immune system? Does this mean if I stay on LDN & will it cause my body / antibodies to attack me more? Big question do I go off it and suffer horrific pain from all my arthritis and fibro? I have been off LDN about a week for some tests and my pain is beyond.

My Doc shared that I cannot be properly tested for histamine attacks or Mast Cell because I have to live on 1 to 5 antihistamines daily.  She said to test correctly I would have to go off all antihistamines for a week before testing & she doesn’t want me to go off antihistamines and end up in serious trouble.  I am glad she is watching over me.
