Am I correct in this understanding Based on my consult with Dr. Bihari LDN is primarily working to prevent futher attacts and or degradation. Many who start LDN for MS find that some or all of the damage from the 90 days prior to starting improves in part or total. Others do report older " damage " sees some positive effects from LDN use. Stabilization is the primary focus. Repair of prior damage is really " bonus " . Hope that helps, alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 , LDN will stop the progression. It will not repair damage .

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I knew I had CMT by the time I was 10. I had been wearing orthopedic shoes since I was 7. No one except myself and my parents knew that. Throughout my life my parents, family and friends never treated me any different knowing I had CMT. I grew up as about as 'mainstream' as anyone else. If anything my parents pushed the medical profession to get me help, medications, physical therapy, surgery, etc. Surgery at the age of 10 thrust me into an 'adult world' earlier than my peers, and I feel it just added to my maturity. CMT has never been an issue in employment for me. Having CMT made me want to prove I was just as able as anyone else, once I got over that, I looked back and saw my peers sitting in the dust. I learned 'time management' way before it was fashionable. I feel I am much more emotionally intelligent than my peers to this day. I also feel much more in control of my life and very grateful for all my blessings. (and by blessings I mean both the 'ups' and 'downs's of life) I have bettered myself from learning more about CMT these past 10 years in my work with too. I'm also bettering myself physically, as I read and research more on nutrition, supplements, physical therapy, and most importantly regular exercise. I am in far 'better shape' physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually at 55 than I was at 15, 25 or 35 or 45. And now with the new season of " Dancing with the Stars " , I am inspired to take a 'refresher' course in Ballroom Dancing!

Just curious on if you are able to do better or worse?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
