Thank you for help with LDN and 16 year old son with MS

June 29, 2004

Just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for their wonderful

(and shockingly consistent) answers to my questions. I never even

called Dr. regarding the time to take the LDN and bedtime, I

knew you guys knew what you were talking about. I was really

relieved to find that we could actually schedule it at a time where

we could actually say " Go take your medicine " rather than go to bed

and leave it up to the night owl to remember. (We're blaming

his " brain fog " on hormones for now, I'm afraid...Hmmmm...Wonder if

LDN will clear that up???? LOL...)

Anyway, he is doing well, and seems to be tolerating the LDN at 3 mg

fantastically. No insomnia or stiffness yet. Did this occur

immediately for those of you who had problems with it? We are to

call Dr. with a progress report in 3 weeks and I believe he

said he would make a determination at that time as to whether to

increase the dosage or not. I feel like he will increase it if he

continues to tolerate the 3 mg this well. We didn't warn him about

the possible insomnia or stiffness at all, I was afraid the power of

suggestion might play a part, but he's snoring as soon as his head

hits the pillow and played golf all day the last two days, so I'm

thinking he might just be in better shape than I am. He swears he

feels no differently, but you have to keep in mind that he has no

symptoms other than heat sensitivity normally. However, after

playing 18 holes of golf in the Kentucky heat and humidity yesterday

and today, I don't think that is a huge problem for him right this

minute!

Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to fill you in and thank you for

all your help. I have met the nicest people on this board, and I am

so thankful. I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend if you are

in the states or Canada. I'll be posting! I'm sure I'll come up

with more questions...Take care!

Kim
