My partner suffers from post-Covid issues: can you tell me what you mean by LDN?


Low dose naltrexone.


Thank you! Seems like there are both positive small studies and self-reported anecdata available

That "study" doesn't even have a control but, then again, I wouldn't expect much from research around long covid.


Really hard to get proper funding for LDN. It is an already incredibly cheap drug in a minute dose... this treatment is not exciting to anyone except patients and a few passionate researchers.

Lots of studies showing "interesting results, needs more investigation" but high quality studies are very slow to come...
