What to do ...

[Guest guest]

Hi all, this is my first post to the group, so I hope you will

forgive any longwinded intoductions that I may add as I feel

necessary.

This is my second attempt at taking LDN, the first one finished after

three days due to breathlessness, fluttering heart and excess phlegm.

I was unable to lie down due to the tightness around my chest so

didn't go to bed for two weeks. Shortly after that I was admitted to

the local hospital for tests - both heart and chest were given a

clean bill of health.

I did a bit of research on the Net and finally decided my discomfort

was probably due to 'MS Hug'. Things improved over the next few

weeks, apart from the phlegm problems, so I decided to start with the

3mg LDN again. Nothing significant happened during the first week,

but I was expecting that, there were just occasional periods of

breathlessness. These often happened first thing in the morning when

I woke up.

Yesterday (day 8)I woke up feeling terrible. The breathlessness was

back permanently and my head was swimming. I felt as though I was

about to pass out on several occasions and it even passed through my

head that I wasn't going to see the day out. OK, a bit dramatic you

might think, but I'd already gone through panic attacks the last time

I had problems, so I'd learnt to control those. Yesterday evening I

discussed the situation with my wife and decided to leave the LDN

alone.

I didn't feel able to lie down so spent the night in the chair.

Today, I still feel a little breathless, but other symptoms are

better and I feel almost normal, apart from an ache above my left ear.

So the question is - Do I knock LDN on the head or give it another

try? I have PPMS and was diagnosed eleven years ago.

Any ideas guys?

All the best,

P
