Help...

[Guest guest]

I need your wisdom. My ex failed to order my 16 year old son's LDN

on time, and he went 3 days without it. (He has been taking it

since June and doing wonderfully.) He said he could definitely tell

he wasn't taking it over the weekend - he said he felt light headed

and dizzy. Now, last night he started experiencing numbness in his

hand and foot, and today he has blurred vision, so he is home from

school. He only missed 3 days worth, and started back up on it

Monday night.

Has this ever happened to anyone by missing it? Did resuming the

LDN minimize the attack, or did you have to seek further medical

treatment? We are in between neuros right now, have an appointment

with a new one later this month, so I am trying to decide what to do

if it does get worse. He has always had to have i.v. steroids for

severe exacerbations in the past, and I understand that he can't

take his LDN if this happens. Any advice would be welcome! Thank

you!

I tried a three day break once and what a mistake it has now taken me a full month to recover to my pre-break levels.

This was a good learning experience for you as once we are on LDN we are permanently on LDN.

If LDN works for you then we know what happens when we go off of it.

I think of my brother (in a nursing home) and sister in law (buried now) and thank God that I found LDN when I did. no way would I ,even if I could afford to, do any injectable drug. Especially after the new findings on Copaxone were released.

Just keep giving your son his nightly dose of LDN. and he will recouver.

Hi,

I forgot my LDN on a 6 day trip. during that time I got worse and

even had new symptome (weakness in my right ).

Now a month later I can say today that I am almost back to where I was

before I forgot the LDN. I had a very good strong day today.

I feel I will continu to improve. I will not forget to take LDN

again, ever.

This is a very scarey situation especially with a child. There is

definitily a mold problem if you can see it and you child is sick.

Luckily my daughter didn't get ill but she did have ear infections

from 6 to 13 years old and that is the time we lived in the house. My

husband didn't get ill until we moved into another moldy place and he

had seizures and a blood clot. I was the first one to get ill and

have suffered for 10 years now. You don't want to mess with this. I

know it is so hard to move. We have moved 5 times since I became ill

and lived with inlaws for a year last year, and it was a nightmare.

They hated my illness. Just take these warnings very seriously. Were

you pregnant in this house? The hard part is you are in your mom's

house, so that makes it even more difficult. God bless you and

educate your husband so he can see how serious this illness can be.

Sometimes it takes a while for the spouse to get it but eventually

they usually have no choice, cuz there is so much illness. We

certainly don't want to scare you to death but these are the facts.

Glor, It's not that they weren't able to tell me where it was coming

from; it's that they never did any follow-up & didn't return

calls/emails. Basically, took the money & ran! I have a pretty good

idea where it's coming from, so, next company will be put through the

wringer b/f I hire them! I know what you mean about feeling like you

have to do something; unfortunately, my life is spent cleaning, washing

& worrying!! I wish you well, too. Hope we can talk some time; it

seems to help the psyche! Take care of yourself & your family!!

Hugs, Cheryl

, I wish someone would be so blunt w/my husband; then it

wouldn't just be coming from his neurotic wife! I won't give up

though, til I prove what I know in my heart!
