Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I need to share my feelings; and seeing as how no one in my family has MS or none of my friends, I thought this might be the best place. Before starting LDN, I had heard such wonderful results that people were experiencing--almost miracles. I've been on LDN for almost eight months now, and these wonderful changes are not happening to me. The only benefits I've received are better sleeping pattern and better bladder control. I still have some nights, though, when this is not even the case. My walking is no better, and my left arm and hand are basically still pretty useless. I've tried almost every filler to see if that would make a difference in the benefits of LDN, but they haven't, and the only difference has been some side effects from various fillers. I'm presently using acidophilus. I also don't know wheter to take 3 mg. or 4.5 mg. seeing as how I see no difference between the two. Because my neurologist wouldn't prescribe LDN, I've had to use a doctor from the recommended list who only knows me through phone consultations. He implied that most people get more benefits than I'm getting. Is this true of all of you? He says take 3 mg., but I believe Dr. Bihari recommends 4.5 mg. The pharmacist says take 3 mg. What does one do? (It's very difficult when you aren't using your regular doctor.) Speaking of the recommended doctors, I don't quite understand why they keep raising their phone consultation fees. They keep getting more and more patients so they certainly have more and more money coming to them. You would think that if they were truly interested in helping people, they would keep their fees at an affordable amount. Makes one wonder if they're in it primarily for the money. I'm also taking Copaxone with the LDN--have been on this since 1998. It's stabilized my lesions, but that's about it. Would really appreciate hearing from some of you regarding this posting.
