I hope that I have this figured out - I am not used to posting or to

and so my name has not appeared. I have edited, and won't know

until I send this if I have fixed the problem.

You were asking if I had any relapses while taking the Beta Seron,

and I really did not. I would still feel tingly occasionally, my

eyesight would still bother me a little once in a while, but for the

most part, I have done very well. If I had not taken it, considering

the frequency and strength of the exacerbations that I was having at

the time, I know that I would have had some serious damage. I have

never had another MRI. If I was getting more lesions, I didn't want

to know, and it was just another major expense.

I have always had a real talent for ignoring things, or coming up

with what seem to me to be very logical explanations for my problems,

and I had good reasons for the total numbness of my leg (moving in

the recent past, and hurting my back so it had to be a pinched nerve

or some such thing. One half of my face went numb on another

occasion and I had had jaw surgery in the last year, so that

explained that. It wasn't until I kept falling off af a small ladder

when I was wallpapering, and mentioned it to a friend as kind of a

funny thing that I could not figure out, that she took it out of my

hands and sent her husband ( a Physician's Assistant) over to take a

look at me. He came up with the initial diagnosis there in my living

room, and made an appointment for me with a Neurologist. By the time

I went to that appointment, I was hardly able to walk, definitely

unable to drive, and scared to death.

So, after making a very long story out of this, and I apologize for

being off subject, I did very well once on the Beta Seron. But this

was after four times on Prednisone and after that, even a shot looked

good. In fact, I have to say that I owe a lot to Beta Seron and had a

hard time giving up that security blanket to try LDN. At the risk of

sounding silly, I have to say that I decided to try LDN because I

heard about it in an unusual way right after I lost my father on

Christmas day last year. I kind of felt that he was sending me a

sign, and right or wrong, I believe in those. So far, so good, and I

will continue to mention anything that I notice, and any more

improvements in my friend.
