I really need some advice and know there are a number of you here well up on LDN....especially and would really appreciate some advice. > I'll try make this post short but I doubt it will be :-/ > MS started with Optic Neuritis in 2000...then fatigue etc etc and was eventually dx in Jan 2002. Started avonex..did copaxone following year..got awful sides from both and then on researchign more on net decided to quit ALL drugs and take a natural approach. In April 2003 I started the Best Bet Diet and after 2 months I reaped great benefits. Sicne then my MS has really stabilised. I dont' think I have RR MS, it seems to be a slow progressive type. Anyway I gave birth to my first baby last Jan 20th. I ahd a great pregnancy. I know a few other MSer's who had babies the last year too who did now do anything aswell as me during pregnany but I was one of the lucky ones where all my MS symptoms disappeared from 4 months into pregnancy till 4 months postpartum. From four months postpartum MS slowly started to retuen. MY hormones probably started to drop around then as even though I was breastfeeding exclusively (and I swear the breastfeeding kept my hormones in the right state for my MS) > but there were less night feeds from here on and I guess from 5 motnhs when I introduces some goats formula that I began producing less milk and my hormones bagan dropping more. I had a flare in July when baby was 6 months , it wasn't too bad and came about because of the awful hot humid heatwave we got for most of the summer...this sort of weather is freaky in Ireland and I just couldnt' bare the humidity and suffered horrible nausea and dizziness on and off. I never suffered these symptoms before. Forgot to mention that when my MS started returning 4 motnhs postpartum that my knees were awful sore for weeks but foudn out it's common after having a baby but then I started getting stiff joints and when I restarted LDN in September when I weane dmy baby at 7 and a half months, the stiffness gradually got worse. I got my LDN from Dr. Lawrence. He now uses avicel as filler....last time I was on LDN in 2004 prior to pregnancy I got my LDN from him too and it was CC filler and that time > round LDN did so much mroe for me....but I dont' think it could be the filler, I guess it's harder for LDN to work now after having a baby. I took 3mg for first month and then upped to 4.5mg. I'm now on it jsut over 3 months. In early December I had to go to dentist as I had a cavity since late pregnancy( nodoubt baby was sucking all the calcium out of me even though I took loads of calcium supplemetns) . Luckily I didnt' need an extraction but I was given an local and a temporary filling was put in to calm the nerve and it was supposed to be replaced with permanent filling before xmas. BUT the day after I got the local I got awful fatigue and everything has gone haywire since. I spent three whoel weeks with the most awful fatigue and it was soooooooo hard trying to care for baby with it. Then it was jsut back to normal when returned to dentist but I asked coudl we leave that tooth alone for another while as I reckon the local brought on a flare of my fatgue. I got another tiny > composite filling that day I needed instead of them touching the other tooth and I got this fillign with no local as it was only tiny , it was fine. Anyway few days later my left eye started blurring. I've not had eye prblems at all sicne starting the BBD in April 2003. The BBD sorted out my utthoffs syndrome completely and my symptoms have not flared from heat since nor has my eye ever flared since either. The weird thing is that it was always my right eye between 2000 and 2003 and now it's my left so I'm not sure whether it's classed as a flare of an old symptom or whether it's considered a new symptom and more serious. It's not as bad as I used get in my right eye but it gets wrose when I ahve a shower or get stressed, hot etc so I have to watch it.My fatigue is still pretty bad too....surprisingly though my stiffness is improving...maybe it's because I upped my calcium and magnesium a few motnhs back or maybe the stiffness you gbet with LDN wares off after a few months..anyone > know? My diet isn't as perfect asit used and to be honest I've induldged in too much sigar the last few months and I know I shouldn't have ...alwso have been eating some dairy and gluten and I wouldn't touch any of these before baby was born but caring for a baby and having MS is so hard that when you're hungry at times you crab what's available within reason. I dont' eat junk food and infact eat all organic meat and veg and fruit but I have been eating some bread, cheese and the odd biscuit here and there so I know I need to rid these foods again and I'm motivated now with the new year. I saw a post here earlier bout the candida home test,,,,thanks for posting this. I know all bout it through the BBD etc and have done it in the past and needed the reminder. I will be doign ti tomorrow morning..I'm pretty sure I must have some candida at least but I wonder if it's the dental stuff has triggered everything off? When I got Optic Neuritis in 2000, it took 6 months for my vision > to come back fully, I'm terrified my left eye will take this long too ( I havent' been to my Neuro since late 2003 as he wouldnt' prescribe LDN and was pushing other CRABS whiich I have no interest in. Since then I've felt so ontop on my MS and am proud I stabilised it and have done so well by sticking to natural methods...I'm hopign though with getting my diet back on track I can get back to a mroe stabilised state.....am I mad...does it sound like my MS is goign to get worse? The stiffness has been very scary the last few months and I've been having nitemares that I might loose my legs..I've never had leg problems before baby arrived. Should I redice my dose to 3mg. I was only on 3mg in 2004 when it worked far better but I was only on it 2 months and I became pregnant so it wasn't much time to test it really and I know Dr. Bihari says you need 4.5mg to halt progression so maybe i shoudl stick to it. I'm not as confident bout LDN as I used be...at times I'm nearly tempted to > ditch it but I have a months supply left in my bottle so I'll finsih that at least. > Please if anyone has any advice or been through similar I'd love to hear from you! > Thanks > ========= The dental work is definitely a factor. I have a feeling you are going to get Amalgam fillings. I wish you'd get the type of fillings that do not contain Mercury. Stay on the 4.5mg. Do the candida check and get back on your diet. It may be several months before you get straightened out from the dental work. You sound stressed also which is understandable. play some soothing music and rock in a rocking chair your baby to sleep. The rocking and music will help your stress. the dairy and sugar needs to go immediately. Buy Soy icecream as it has no dairy. Get you some Stevia sweetener. I think you know what you need to do, you just need it to come from one of us to get you motivated again. Glad you've got your baby but giving birth to that baby sure didn't do MS any good. Remember, the dental work is going to play havoc with your MS for several months afterwards. Hang with the 4.5mg LDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 , Thanks a million for such afast reply!!! I'm no way getting amalgamn fillings. I actually had never ever needed a filling before now, my teeth are one part of my body that's actualyl healthy ;o)I got one compostie filling so far and the other will be too. It's interesting that you think it's the dental work that triggered everything....I had thought that myself as I think I know my MS well at this stage but I needed someone else to verify it too. I ahve been stressed a bit too at times....not bout my MS up till now really but other things to do with family life. But I am trying to avoid it as much as possilbe as I know stress plays havoc with my health...and it's jsut not worth stressing. I don't have a rockign chair...I do ,love them though!!! I'm lucky my baby goes to sleep easy and I she has no bad habits like rocking thank god or I think it would make life harder at times. I was very strict with her form the beginning so to make things easier for us all ;o) I avoid soya as it's a legume.....not allowed on the BBD, as legumes increase inflammation in the body. I can't remember when I ate icecream last....it's usually bread is my downfall out of all things but before baby I was extremely motivated, it's so much harder now but I know I'm going to have to find the motivation and stick with it as it works for me , i'm sure it's more importatn than LDN for me anyway. I drad the thought of months like this cuase of dental work. I'll be goign back next week for the permanent composite filling and it's a huge one!!!!! My dentist is getting in a differetn local for me, supposedly it's one with less preservatives in it, a plainer one as she put it so it should be more agreable with me but I dont' have faith that it will. She use less than she'll usualyl use too but I've got a fillign drilling and all that fiddling aroudn inthe mouth just doesn't agree with my MS. I will stay on the 4.5mg and see how it goes....fingers crossed If I stay on it and keep on top of the diet and stress and check out the candida that things will improve Thanks again ) > > The dental work is definitely a factor.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 My mom had perfect teeth and hair until she gave birth to me and her hair started thinning terribly and her teeth went bad. Her teeth are still a major problem for her. You need to supplement your body as best you can. Make sure you get all the vital supplements your body needs for healthy teeth and hair. Get you a wooden rocking chair and don't rock the baby but rock you. LOL. You'd be amazed at how relaxing rocking is. Also having lots of lavender and dark purple around you is a relaxing and healing color. Wear lots of purple. My doctor uses a color chart of lavender and deep purple to help ease people's pain.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi .. So sorry to hear you are having such a bad time of it. My only suggestion is to wonder if you got a bad batch of LDN .. I know it is unlikely but it is a possibility. It has happened to Noel. He is still thriving although he has dipped on occasion he has not reached a point worse than pre LDN. I would not give up on it even though things look so grim .. I agree with , check out your yeast levels and address that and do anything you can to reduce your stress levels and remain on 4.5mg. Can you call n and ask him to make you up a batch he is certain is fresh just to rule that out .. How many months LDN do you get at a time from Wales .. there is nothing wrong with avicel as a filler but it still could be a bad batch. Don't give up .. hang in there ..

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi , I was under the impression that at 3 mg one can also stop progression. Maybe will confirm that. Get back on track with your diet and what you were doing before. Keep some organic fruit bars around. There exists BBD friendly ones. Sometimes I pick myself up with a mixture of Tahine, sunflower seeds and honey, mixed. Easy to put together and an energy booster. I remember you went through a bad patch before the baby was born but you got through that and you will get through this one. Go back to 3mg if necessary and see how you feel. Kind regards Joanne > > Hi everyone, > > I wish I could get here more but like with a baby is hectic.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks for your kind message Tom.

Shortly after they were done I found that it was one of the worst things that one can do to one's self.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Joanne, replying to you offlist...late i know but I'm always behind! Thanks for your reply to my post! I thought 4.5mg's was needed to stop progression but maybe I'm wrong. I am behind on LDN news as it is. I'm pretty much back on track with my diet and trying to really watch things as want to loose weight too. I never lost weigth on the BBD beofre and I'm too much over weight since child birth...was a bit over beforehand too. I tend to eat well , little junk and still pile in on so easily. I'm going to have to limit portion sizes and gradually get into an exercise routine before I go balmy. I must look at the fruit bars in the health shop for BBD friendly ones. Do you recommend a particular brand? Thanks again for your reply. Joanne <jo.comissiong@...> wrote: Hi ,I was under the impression that at 3 mg one can also stop progression. Maybe will confirm that.

I was only on 3mg in 2004 when it worked far better but I was only on it 2 months and I became pregnant so it wasn't much time to test it really and I know Dr. Bihari says you need 4.5mg to halt progression so maybe i shoudl stick to it. I'm not as confident bout LDN as I used be...at times I'm nearly tempted to> ditch it but I have a months supply left in my bottle so I'll finsih that at least. > Please if anyone has any advice or been through similar I'd love to hear from you!> Thanks> > > > ---------------------------------> Play Santa's Celebrity Xmas Party, an exclusive game from > Messenger NEW - crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
