There's no rule that says men should only take 3.0mg. It has been seen here

that MOST, not all but most men only can tolerate 3.0mg but if you can tolerate

the 4.5mg then great.

I work full time and as far as the L'hermittes sign goes, Dr. Biharis first

ms patient on LDN was a young girl with RRMS who had transverse myelitis and

was completely numb from the chest down. She made a complete recovery and is

still on LDN many many years later. I would have to get the article out

again but I believe it is more than 10 years, not sure. Good Luck and Happy

New Year, Kathy

Hi, I'm a 32 year old MS Best Bet Diet follower who experienced a

serious relapse this year after a rather stressful time on many

fronts. After this, and cheating on the diet on busy working days,

I felt considerable worse and one of my hands went completely numb.

This has gone, before taking LDN.

I ordered Revia from the familar Mexican site and got it sent to

Tokyo, where I live. My neurologist was having none of it.

I started just three days ago and stayed awake one night after

taking it, but otherwise have done fine (I've read about the

importance of sleep between 2 and 5 a.m.). I feel stronger, though

the L'hermittes Sign that has hit me in my latest relapse isn't

disappearing as quickly as I'd hoped. Still, feeling more powerful

and full of hope.

Has anyone else lost their L'hermittes after beginning LDN? Is there

any scientific evidence showing that a male should take 3ml and not

4.5?

I work full time (being relapsing remitting) - are there many full

timers out there?

Best wishes and Happy New Year!!!

Hi ,

Welcome aboard! I've only been here a short while myself. From what

I have read here and at the main ldn site, is males typically do

better on 3.0 mg. I've have also noticed, that not everyone is the

same, so you have to play around with the dose until you find the one

that works for you.

The ldn's main purpose is to stop progression. Any current symptom

benefit is a bonus. Some people find their symptoms are better and

others see no improvement on existing symptoms.

I found for the first two weeks I had sleep disturbances. That has

stopped but I still have vivid dreams. Not a bad thing! Lol!

Your l'hermittes sign may not go away as this drug is not for

existing symptoms. Having said that you may be lucky tho! You

should not get worse than what you were experiencing pre ldn.

Keep up the good thoughts and hope! Stress is a killer with this

disease.

Take Care

I am a man with RRMS, 32 years old, and have been on LDN for 6+ months. I

started with 4.5 mg compounded capsules. After about 2 weeks, after reading that

men sometimes do better on 3 mg and since I felt quite a buzz, I thought I would

decrease to 3 mg. I got generic Revia and started mixing my own at 3 mg (liquid

method). A month or two later, I read a post by Bruce saying he takes 6 mg for

cancer. I began taking 6 mg for about a week and felt like it was too strong. It

disrupted my sleep. I came back down to where I am now, between 4.5 and 5 mg.

This amount works for me. I also work full time.

What does feeling a buzz mean when you take too high of a dose? Can you

clarify that for me? I would think that is your bodies way of telling you

the dose is too high and you should be at 3.0. I talked to Skip before about

this dosage issue and he told me I should stay at 3.0 since it was working

for me and if i ever needed the 4.5 because I had a relapse or it didn't

seem to be working for me it would be available.I just thought I would throw

this in because new people are always wondering what dose. Maybe you should

save the stronger dose for later unless you have progressed to a point it is

not practical to do so.

, I think the gender information about LDN dosage is strictly

anecdotal and not true for everyone. For example, I do better on 3 mg,

which I've been taking for two years now. The primary reason to take LDN is

to prevent disease progression. Some people experienced almost immediate

symptom relief and some of us have had very little.

I also work full-time--I teach Drama and Conflict Resolution in an

elementary school. Fatigue is the toughest thing, but I find a way through

it. (Certainly, taking a cab to work in the morning helps!)
