Fibromyalgia Treatment: How Low Dose Naltrexone Can Help You

If you’ve been suffering with fibromyalgia, you may have tried everything to no avail. The debilitating disorder can significantly impact quality of life, and so many of the treatments and medications can have unbearable side effects, leaving sufferers exhausted with low mood, low energy, and low motivation. Here at Bodyline Medical Wellness Clinics, we offer an incredible solution that has seen users completely alter their lives for the better. So how can we help you?

What causes Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. It is often accompanied by other symptoms such as sleep disturbances, headaches, and cognitive difficulties. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known, however it is believed to involve abnormal processing of pain signals in the brain.

Unfortunately, fibromyalgia is a difficult condition to treat, as there is no cure and the available treatments are often ineffective or have unpleasant side effects. However, there is hope in the form of low dose naltrexone (LDN) treatment.

What is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?

Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that has been used for years to treat addiction by blocking the effects of opioids. However, in low doses, it has been found to have beneficial effects on the immune system. LDN works by blocking the opioid receptors for a short period of time, which triggers the body to produce more endorphins. Endorphins are natural painkillers that help to reduce pain levels and improve mood.

Research shows that LDN treatment can be effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life for people with fibromyalgia. In one study, patients who received LDN treatment reported significant improvement in pain, fatigue, and quality of life compared to those who received a placebo.

LDN treatment is safe and well-tolerated, with few side effects. It is also prescribed to those who suffer with other auto-immune diseases and inflammation, such as Crohn’s disease and long Covid. The most common side effect is vivid dreams, which usually resolve within a few days. Some patients may also experience nausea, headache, or dizziness, but these side effects are typically mild and transient.

Most users see results in around 3 months, and continue to feel complete relief from chronic pain, as well as seeing benefits across every element of their lives. Without the pain of fibromyalgia, mental health can improve, mobility will increase, and the quality of life will sky rocket.

How can I get LDN for Fibromyalgia treatment?
