My functional medicine doctor told me to get my primary care doctor to prescribe LDN for me. I am currently on 1.5mg of it.

I was told to take it for my SIBO/Possible autoimmune disease/Possible mold toxicity/Possible Lyme disease.

My primary care doctor wants to know how long I'm going to be on it so I asked my functional medicine doctor 3 times and haven't gotten a response.

Symptoms I would love to see subside are: lower body aches and pains. My feet hurt the absolute worst. I wake up every day and they feel like I've run a marathon the day before. My knees, hips, and thighs also ache. It's been like this every day for the past 6 months. I started with the functional medicine doctor in March and haven't felt any improvement in the pain.

Questions:

How long do people typically take it? Is it a lifetime thing or is it a period of time and you feel better and then stop taking it? I am worried that my functional medicine doctor is getting me to take it so my pain goes away and I feel better and they can say "I healed you!" and justify their astronomically high prices but not actually cure me.

I was reading about it impairing driving. What things do you notice while taking it that inform you you're driving is impaired? I also ride motorcycles. Should I avoid that while I am taking it?

I've had brain fog for months now and I read this could cause brain fog as well. How soon would you be able to tell you have brain fog? How can you tell it's causing it?

How do you know when to switch from taking it at night to taking it in the morning? I'm currently taking it at night and it's been 3 days (I stopped for 5 days because my functional doctor didn't respond to my questions for 5 days about whether or not I should be taking it). I don't seem to have any issues with nighttime dosage yet but I was curious as to how long people take it before they notice issues.

I can't find anything similar to it at all online. It's a 2026 V4R exhaust with headers off a brand new Ducati and I don't know where to find the price for it anywhere. I think the bike is so new that Ducati doesn't have it listed. Would anyone have any ideas on how to price it?

This isn't an ad and I'm not trying to sell it here. Just looking for insight.

For context, I have SIBO and h. Pylori we have both been treated with antibiotics and oregano oil, the H. pylori I have a negative test for. The SIBO I haven’t tested yet again.

I am suffering from extreme fatigue and body aches. I also have brain fog, dizziness, and blurry vision.

I am trying to figure out if I also have toxic levels of mold in my body. I was thinking about trying to take bentonite clay to see if it would help me feel better.

I did buy a home test kit from Amazon… the little petri dish ones. I plan on doing that sometime today. I’m just wondering if I can take a supplement just to see if that’s the problem and if so, remove myself from the mold area and then treat it.

So I’m trying to heal my SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth). I started tirzepatide 2 1/2 weeks ago. My doctor said to do a very low dose so I started with 1.67 mg. I did really well and lost all interest in food, but still ate.

The first day of injecting I got insomnia and anxiety, but it were off over three days.

After seven days, I injected the second dose, which was 1.8mg. I am 13 days away from that second dose. For the past few days, I’ve been dealing with horrible anxiety, insomnia, and depression for 4-5 days and on top of that a breakup from yesterday.

I feel like I need to get this out of my system as quickly as possible. And then if I do inject it again, I will inject an extremely low-dose like 0.3.

Does anyone have any experience detoxing quickly? I was thinking a sauna and drinking a ton of water with electrolytes. Or do I just have to wait? Also, does anyone have any experience injecting it for gut issues?

For reference, I am also injecting 0.33 mg of BPC 157 and TB 500, 0.33 mg of KPV, and 0.03 mg of Mots-C. These may also be contributing to my symptoms and therefore I’m going to stop those tomorrow as well. If I do continue, I will probably try one at a time.
