HI

I've been taking LDN for 6 months ( 4.5mg in liquid

form at night

for 5 months) without a problem but a couple of days

ago I started

to feel new symtoms- pins and needles in my right leg.

In two days

it has turned to a numb/tight feeling and spreads from

the sole of

me foot to the top of my rib cage. I haven't had these

symptoms

before. My last relapse (pre-starting LDN) was very

similar but on

my left side and left me with some weakness and

discomfort in my

left arm.

While I can handle the sypmtoms I'm really

disappointed that they

are NEW and therefore, I assume, indicating that

progression has not

been halted.

I am also following the Best Bet Diet.

Does anyone have any advice on what my next step

should be. I do not

intend to give up on LDN yet and have called to get a

new MRI

scheduled, which will take a while. Any thought or

ideas would be

really appreciated.

Thanks,

Really? Why, MRIs don't emit radiation like CT Scans do.

Hi , How old is the ldn? I thought I read awhile back that

there is a shelf live to ldn mixed with water. I remember talking

to my pharmacist awhile back when I was going to try the liquid and

mixing my own. He said something to the effect that if you pre mix

it be careful how much you make ahead of time. For some reason a

week and a half sticks in my head. Albiet an ms head :0)

Just a thought.

Do you get your LDN from Skips? Why don't you ask him about the Procarin he

carries? I have never tried it but it might get you out of this exacerbation

and thus eliminate need for steroids or something invasive. Best wishes,

HI

THanks for you responses. I get my LDN from Skips in 1.5mg capsule

form and mix it each night, so it shouldn't be old. I'd appreciate

any other thoughts from anyone.

HAs anyone else been told that MRIs cause tumors?? and is it true

they won't show progression/stopped progression?

THANKS!!!

Check yourself for Candida. Candida can cause symptoms to erupt. See link

below. If you do have candida, a low carb diet is a must to get rid of the

candida and supplements help the iet.

Ignore the google ads at the top.

Possibilities that have been mentioned by some are sinus infection,

dental infection, recent dental work, even if successful, the culprit

*possibly* being the local anethesia, and stress. My wife recently had

yet another sinus infection that presented none of the ordinary symptoms

except fatigue and bloody tissue after blowing her nose. No drainage,

pain, headaches, congestion. This time it was in her ears, too. This

has been a recurring problem for her. Presumably, she doesn't realize

it's happening because she's semi-numb in her sinuses due to MS. Are

any of these issues affecting you?

Can you please tell me where you get your information on MRI's CAUSING

tumors? I have never heard of this and can't find anything on the

internet saying this. Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi

Thanks for the advice. I've been following an anti-candida diet and

suplements for almost two months. I feel a lot better for it and

lost a couple of symptoms within weeks that I had attribuited to MS.

Do you have any other thoughts on my new symptoms? Am I right in

assuming that this means progression has not stopped? If so, what

should my next step be?

THANKS TO ANYONE WITH ADVICE!

HI Wesley,

Thanks for your thoughts. I have been having some discomfort behind

my ears. If it is a sinus infection, how does one treat this

without antibiotics?

THANKS!

This doesn't help with treating per say, but heating pads come in

handy for me. My sinus problems begin with a full head and ears. I

use a heating pad to work the liquid out of my ears(I just lay there

in blissful comfort....it feels wonderful. The heating pad is on my

neck and ears, so it also makes those swollen glands feel alittle

better). I get a sinus infection EVERY time I miss more than 2 doses

of my allergy meds(allegra, allegra D, and Nose spray) in the same

week. I immediately begin draining my ears, and that helps with

keeping the headaches and swollen neck glands to a minimum. I also

spend some extra time in the shower, or running hot water when I do

dishes over the sink. I breath in the steam to clear out my nose and

sinuses. That seems to help. I usually only take Nyquil to sleep at

night, and suffer through the rest though. I hate being on ANY

medication at work. (Side Note: Co-workers get EXTREMELY upset with

you when you walk around with a kleenex in your nose to prevent

drips....they laugh, but it makes them uncomfortable for some

reason..... ). That's all. I am probably not the best of

examples, since I don't get the rest I should get when I am sick.

But, I do know how to make myself more comfortable in my misery .

Hope this helps.

Is your liquid LDN made from pure naltrexone powder or dissolved ReVia? If it's

the ReVia consider getting you liquid LDN in pure naltrexone powder.

Are you saying you dump 3 of your 1.5mg capsules in liquid?

Naltrexone mixed with avicel. Would I just ask Skip for pure

naltrexone?

ANYONE- It seems no one wants to reply to my queries about MS

progression. Is it likely that I am just going to be one of the

people LDN is not going to help? HAs there been any past discussion

or experience with new symptoms with minimal progression?

Thanks.
