Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi Almost daily I am amazed by what LDN has done for me,or should I say is still doing for me. I am still SPMS but no longer have Neropathic pain and or L'Hermettes sign(that went away after the fourth day).I no longer go to the washroom with urgency problems (that rectified itself after the third day). And since then my thinking has cleared up to normal levels,at least normal for a fifty year old. I can't say it's a miracle cure as I still use a wheel chair for any distance and I do tire out easy but then again I am out of shape big time. I do know that if I would have been on the 4.5mgs sooner I would still be working but such is life it seems that until there was no other recourse I could not have gotten a prescription. I know a few people now that can not get a prescription as they havn't tried the CRAB drugs yet, in my books that is just not right!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Reg, I just need to share with you my experience in the time I've been on the 4.5. It's only been a couple of weeks, but I am so thrilled that I have more energy and stamina. I actually am going to a volleyball tournament in a town about 180 miles away, something that I wouldn't have even entertained the idea of doing some time ago. So I guess we're all different on the LDN, jus like we are with MS. I'm thrilled that your bladder control is better, but I can't say that the LDN has done that for me. (Ihave SPMS) I think that doing the yoga that a couple of the gals suggested I try has definitely helped too. Thanks for sharing with us..what a bond we all share!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hey Reg, A couple of months ago I was telling everyone that after about three months of being on 3mg of ldn I tried 4.5 and had a horrible experience of having to use the bathroom instead of once during the night, using it 6 times! ( I believe you had problems with 4.5 as well) I dropped back to 3mg and have been fearful of trying 4.5 again. Well I'm pleased to announce everything happens in time! Finally after being on 3mg since the 1st of February, 4.5 dose is working wonderfully. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 , That's very encouraging and a possitive message for others to see this treatment through.....things DO eventually settle and start to become worthwhile on this medication - we just need patience and Im so glad you stuck with it whereas others would have found the excessive night bathroom visits enough reason to abandon LDN..... All the best.......

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi, This is really a case of waiting for something " not to happen " . I've been taking LDN nightly (4.5 mg) and my mind is clearer. Lot's of my other MS symptoms still exist (bad balance, bad shot term memory, ...) I'm not dealing with the side-effects from Rebif (or before that Avonex, then Betaseron). So, at least it's not hurting me and I love not injecting anything!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Larry et al, How long had you been using LDN before you dropped the injections? AND are there others out there that have decided to drop whatever injections/medications they are/where taking as a result of the confidence LDN has given?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I got off Copaxone a month before I started LDN. Copaxone was doing a number on me. It was the best thing that I have ever done. I have been on LDN for 17 months now.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 My son used Avonex and then Rebif for a total of 2 years prior to starting LDN. He had his final Rebif injection 2 nights prior to starting the LDN. This is an interesting topic! It is also interesting to note that the " depression " that was always attributed to the disease itself " lifted " immediately upon stopping the Rebif and starting the LDN. I truly believe that if he had remained on the interferons, we would have had some really severe problems relating to the depression. Take care!

I had been wanting to stop it after taking it for 7 years. The side effects were really getting to me, atrophy at the injection site, making it very difficult for injection, was the biggest one for me. I am now just taking the LDN with a couple of other meds. But I am loving life without injections, plus whatever perks LDN is giving me. I am not on LDN long at all, but I was lucky enough to notice a difference in just one day. Now I have energy again! Yippeeeeee!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I have relatively mild MS symptoms--weakness in leg, numb toes, exhaustion, memory problems. I was on Avonex for 2 1/2 years, and I just stopped three weeks ago, just before starting LDN. I'm now sleeping better (after an initial insomnia bout) and I have noticeably more energy. My mood is good...and I have HOPE. I hated taking the injections and the way I felt the next 24 hours (flu-like, exhausted). My last MRI showed improvement in the size of the lesions, but that doesn't matter if you still feel lousy. I'm very impressed....and very grateful to sites like this one, where I found out about LDN. > > > > > > Well I'm pleased to announce everything > > > happens in time!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 > Larry et al, > > How long had you been using LDN before you dropped the injections? I still take Copaxone and probably will continue since it is pretty painless w/ no side effects for me. I have been on LDN for 169 days.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Jdgcasac, If you do some research, you'll see that ldn does not work well while taking Avonex,Beta Seron or Ribif. If fact you're doing more harm then good. It's difficult to build enough confidence to drop your inject able. But hopefully you'll find ldn works for you. Especially when you don't have to deal with the side effects from your Avonex! Best of luck to you. -----Original Message----- From: jdgcasac [mailto:JDGLIBRA@...] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 1:01 PM low dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re: recently heard about this drug!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 > hi- can you tell me why you still take copaxine AND ldn? my son takes copaxone but we want to try ldn-- You can take Copaxone along with LDN - It is the only one of the CRAB drugs that you can take with LDN. Alot of people seem to drop the copaxone after awhile just because they are comfortable with the LDN results! Good luck! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
