Re: Rebif vs. LDN / Just heard about LDN / Taking Rebif &...

I took Rebif for 1and 1/2 years . I got worse and while I was getting worse I felt as though I was dying a slow death. I quit and started LDN 2 days later .Though my major symptoms have not left, I am alive again!! Been on LDN for almost 16months now and have not progressed at all. Kiki

HI -

I was diagnosed with MS in Dec. '03 after a very severe first episode of MS. I won't bore you with all the details, there's too many to list. I started Rebif (one of the interferons)in Jan. '04 and I am having a hard time taking it. The injections are extremely painful and seem to be becoming more painful (it's not the needle, it's the medicine entering the body that is painful). Plus, I have injection site reactions that don't have time to go away - swelling, redness, bruising, tender at the site. Excuse my bluntness, but I feel like "crap" on it. It's gotten better considering how awful I felt the first few months, but I still have flu-like symptoms & severe headaches, especially the day after the injections & I take the injections 3x week, so basically I feel bad almost all the time on top of the MS symptoms I still have that I never fully recovered from after the episode. Also, feel increasingly depressed since starting Rebif. I just heard about LDN today & I go see a MS specialist in 2 wks. & would like to try it, instead of Rebif. Is there anyone else who was taking a "ABCR" drug & is now taking LDN?

I would love to hear how you are doing, especially in comparison with one of the "ABCR" drugs, especially Rebif. THANK YOU -

I was told by a very good alternative medical doctor that the adverse reactions are a definate sign that your body is trying to reject whatever is happening...eg. Rebif. I took Avonex for 2 years, but after becoming confined to the wheelchair anyway, I decided to quit. I take LDN now and have for a year. I have seen enough improvements to justify taking it. Wish I had known about it sooner..
