Neurologist says no to LDN

[Guest guest]

,

My neurologist told me " no " when I asked for a

prescription for LDN, so I called my GP (family M.D.)

and he wrote a prescription right away. Those with

MS wanting a prescription for LDN-need to understand

that the pharmaceutical co.'s have alot of influence

over what medicine your M.D. prescribes for you. So,

if your neurologist doesn't get any " benefits " from

prescribing LDN - how many M.D.'s will do so?? Not many.

But, you can find one-just keep trying. You probably will

have to ask a GP to help you-one not daily involved with

the MS prescription co.'s. You need to understand

" the system " . Good luck. PG
