Re: 2 weeks on LDN: one snag: LHERMITTES

[Guest guest]

Great news ,

It is important to report how you are doing. It is encouraging. If someone

is not feeling immediate results they will at lease know that LDN works and

to hang in there.

Does anyone know what helps with Lhermittes?

Hi ,

Your not being over-zealous as far as I'm concerned. I am happy that

you are getting such good results! I like to hear how ldn affects

others. I learn more that way.

Take Care and Keep posting the good stuff!

Hi ! I can relate. I was experiencing (and still am) LH when I started

LDN on 11/9/05. LH began on Labor Day weekend and was HORENDOUS!!! About 9

months prior I was on the Swank Diet and fell off. I came across another diet

that requires juicing. So I incorporated the juicing only and resumed Swanking

that September. I noticed within days/weeks my LH lessoned. Still shocks but

more range of motion with my neck and less of a shock. By the time I started LDN

until recently (cheated on my Swanking/juicing routine) I realized one day- hey

I feel almost normal. Still a pulling sensation w/neck flexion, but no buzzing

buttocks, numb finger-tips and tingly patch in the back of my neck. I left out

when I started the LDN the LH did get a little strange. But once I decided not

to panic (which was a tad late) I kept on truckin' and later on had that hey

moment.

Feeling so good from the LDN's progress I cheated on my husband Dr. Swank )

and have since began buzzing a little more, etc. I'm due to go on vaca which I

know I'll eat everything wrong. So I already have planned that when I get back,

will resume Swanking/juicing routine. With LDN was a great combo.

But stick it out. And all puns intended, keep your chin up. I learned to do that

while still having those HORRIBLE HORRIBLE sensations. Since it is a return

symptom, that sounds like typical initial LDN activity. So I believe you will be

fine.

Tell me, how long did you have LH before it completely went away. This is

majorly annoying as I am a runner and havent felt comfortable doing so since

early october. Keep me posted on your progress! --jc
