Rebif vs. LDN / Just heard about LDN / Taking Rebif & want to try LDN

October 13, 2004

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 -
