Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 " Joyce, I am just getting to the emails regarding your request for physicians prescribing LDN. As in the case of others ,I am hesitant to give my Drs name for several reasons. He is not a neurologist and had no knowledge of the drug until I supplied him with web site,etc I felt like he gave me the script as something of a personal favor.However,if you have a request from anyone in the vicinity of New Orleans I would be happy to talk to my doc (a urologist) to see if he was willing. Mark McGregor New Orleans " Hi Mark, I fully understand your reluctance but I'm not exactly sure that most of the people that are still searching for a prescribing physician will care one bit how much that doc knows about the LDN. It is a proven fact that most of them don't know as much as we do about it anyway. When I went to see my new doctor, I basically had the mindset that I was just looking for someone to prescribe. I like to think that all of us pretty much come under the heading of something new, it's called the " expert patient " . I like to think that is what I am now. I treat my health as something that I have total control over in regards to me doing my own research and working with my doctor to come to a mutually agreeable treatment plan based not only on what he wants me to do but as a collaborative effort. So you see, my doc did not have to know about it at all. I would teach him and teach him I did. I was lucky in that he was very receptive to anything I had to say which is why I like him so much. I know, rare huh? Well I recorded your name and e-mail addy and will contact you if need be but you might try approaching him about it at your next visit. I know that several people are a little skittish about involving their docs this way but believe me, they are grown people and will do what they want to do so why not take that chance? My thoughts about the whole thing anyway. Thanks for the response. JoyceF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
