My Trip To The Neuro

[Guest guest]

Okee-doke, so after going for many months without a neurologist I

finally go to a new one today. Not wanting to hide anything I

explain to her that I have begun using LDN and quit using Avonex and

that I wish to begin therapy with Copaxone. This is because Copaxone

does not conflict with LDN as the interferons do and I want to attack

this monster from as many angles as possible. The answer was a flat

out No!! She did not want to prescribe Copaxone because she did not

know the interactions between it and LDN as she never heard of LDN.

Didn't even mention trying to find out. She did ask though if there

were other symptoms that could be helped. Excuse me?!? You're so

worried about interactions between LDN and Copaxone but not any other

drugs?!? Just a tad bizarre. So, it looks like it's either LDN or

Copaxone but not both. Well, I choose LDN. It has worked where

Avonex just made me feel lousy. I've had a relapse on Avonex but not

since starting LDN. No symptom relief but that's okay if the

progression stops. I'm not giving up though. I called Shared

Solutions as soon as I got back to a phone and will have them educate

this doctor. I am also going to an MS clinic in a couple of weeks

and maybe there's a doctor who has a little common sense. Doubt it

though. I think the best hope will be the Shared Solutions people.

After all, they make money if I'm using their product and

unfortunately money seems to be what MS treatment is all about these

days.
