I seem to wake up a little about every 3 days. I have been on LDN since May 12. I now don't seem to have to take either the Vioxx or the Baclofen anymore. Pain in my legs is better. Stiffness is quite manageable. But the fatigue!!! I can hardly stay awake. Daytime, nighttime, it doesn't seem to matter. I started out with 3.0 mg., then cut back the last few days to 1.5. No noticeable change. Anybody have any ideas on how to reduce the fatigue - or do you think I will just have to ride it out?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Tom I realy havn't used many prescription drugs as I am fairly averse to them since my episode with Azathioprine (imuran) I came so close to being dead that I have been scared off for good! What does provigil do actualy? I have yet to see if my dead spot comes back now that I am on ldn but it only showed up during a really hot day and if I overtired myself. You may be lucky and are going thru an intense period of healing, during which you may not have any energy left to waste. Just a thought. I was just talking to our foster daughter (in Edmonton) and she says it is still raining there send some down south Eh?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Reg I am not very computer literate and not sure exactly how to maneuver all this but I wanted to say that as a long time pot user there are side effects like burning out the lungs and throat and when I tried tincturing it I had the worst pain in my head ever. It never really helped my pain except to take my mind off it and seemed to overheat the system. I wish it worked better and yes I have pain always but not so unbearable sitting as standing.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Reg, maybe someone out there knows if people, over time, can develop an intolerance for a particular filler.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Reg, are you trying homeopathy? Please let me know what remedy(ies) you're using and for what symptoms. There's a practicing homeopathist where I live and I'm planning making an appointment after the New Year. Thanks, best regards, Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
