Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Stay the course, it seems that more and more people have the return of old symptoms at about two weeks to even four weeks depending on how built up or run down your system is!I was never on any CRAB drugs and that may have some bearing on my results. Also for some 1.5 is way to low and maybe you should try 3.0 for a short time.I know I played with my dose a lot until just lately and I believe I have it nailed now! I know the first two weeks I couldn't wait to see what the next day would bring. Then it all came to a halt and at four weeks I thought I was going to be back in my wheel chair, waking up at two every morning was the pits,but a mild sleeping pill fixed that,then at about six weeks everything started to settle down and except for the odd bad day most days are real good.(I haven't even had a sore throat since) I was up at five this morning and was painting my garage door at noon , now it's almost 10:00 and time for my 3 mg. pill. Except tonight I will try transdermaly mixed with udos oil and rubbed into my forearms. I will get my essential fatty acids and ldn. that way and maybe get rid of the stiffness my left hand has always been plagued with since starting ldn. By the way I found I have way more energy now and can think as good as in the past,I just took an online IQ test and scored real high (for a mechanic), and I am unstopable until about 10:30p.m.and no more sleeping pills either. PPMS since 1996 probable ms before that ldn since October 2003 now I like to think of myself as SPMS Reg. -------Original Message------- From: low dose naltrexone Date: 05/31/04 21:04:37 low dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] not doing well. . .any suggestions? diagnosed 8 yrs. ago. . .just started LDN 2 weeks ago (1.5). . .mainly to combat MS related fatigue and foggy headedness. . .used to have intermittent leg pain. . . since starting LDN, my fatigue and foggyheadedness have gotten worse. . . leg pain and 'tightness' have become constant and worse than ever before. . . am tempted to discontinue the LDN. . .anyone have similar experience or offer of any hope?
