> Presently I am on 3 mg. of ldn and 45 mg. of Cymbalta (I have to dump out half a capsule to do that) and have stayed off the Singular and the pounding heart has stopped. I have noticed that if I have a small amount of alcohol it starts up again. I ended up slowly working up on the ldn and slowly going down on the Cymbalta to get to this dose. Everything seems to work at this dose. Good luck with yours! Green WillowTHanks for the tip on alcohol. I think I may have been having some alcohol at night at the time of the racing heartbeats.. probably a combo I'd better watch out for. Either that or suddenly my almost non existent thyroid gland(on scan has shrunk to near nothing) decided to kick in out of control:-) My TSH already had risen which it never had before.. which is good as it finally proved I was hypothryoid to the medical profession, LOL., giving me an official no disputable diagnosis..beforehand it was merely a few endos call, low free levels, and the antibodies in blood tests and the scans showing damage. TSH rules with GPs apparently:)
I've given up on docs in general, especially after my accident and the offputting treatment by insurance type docs!
I just asked(via a friend) a leading cardiac researcher who also lectures med students on heart stuff about the racing heart..and he said it wasnt known why it occurred but he'd had it as well sometimes(presumably not for weeks though), and he had no idea why either! That was good enough for me. Also from web searches everyone was saying that no docs could determine why they had these racing beats either.. so save my money and probably get the answer from Green Willow:) Thanks, I'll watch out for the alcohol combo in future. I'll try to read back if I wrote anything about whether I was on ldn then or not. bet I was though.
