Re: Skepticism & MS & Lyme disease

[Guest guest]

Lesa, I have been on LDN for about 3 weeks, and I have had MS/Lyme Disease

diagnosed for 17 years. I have had mixed results with antibiotics both oral and

IV. I keep trying. At this pint it is chronic. And, of course, I believe that

a lot, if not all, MS is chronic LD (Lyme Disease).

I am happy and hopeful about finding LDN. I think that encouraging the body to

heal itself is the best bet.

I keep wondering when I see these posts about using abx (antibiotics) if LD is

not involved. Any thoughts on this matter are welcome. Janie

==================

Lesa

When I saw that you got much better after a 3 month course of antibiotics I

immediately thought of Lyme Disease as that's a good indication that you could

very well have it and the MS drugs won't do a thing to help Lyme. You need to

be tested thoroughly for Lyme. I've been on this strong of an

antibiotic(Cipro~500mg) for approximately 2 1/2 months long and it certainly did

not make my MS any better.

Have both the and Western Blot test done.

I don't know about antibiotic use, but my neuro believes that ms has a viral origin, and I've been on an antiviral for over a year.(valtrex, 500mg2xday)

, Personaly, I don't believe there is a single origin. I have run into a

# of medical types (some MD's) who believe the origin is viral and only viral.
