Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 1. Justis, USA, RRMS 2. Officially diagnosed August 2009 3. I was 62 in 2009 when I was diagnosed. 4. Before the diagnosis I was a very active grandmother, a jogger, rode my bike often, and did NOT appreciate life to the fullest! 5. The diagnosis changed our lives. We thought that I was going to be handicapped for the rest of my life. But since then I have become aware of how fortunate I am and to appreciate every moment of life. 6. At the time of diagnosis, I lost in a week's time all feeling from the waist down...it was extremely sudden and I spent a month in a hospital rehab learning to walk again. 7. I learned about LDN from an MD friend. The neurologist who was my doctor all the time I was in the hospital only told me about the approved FDA MS drugs. When I left the hospital with a prescription for copaxone and took the copaxone shots for a month I knew I had to find an alternative method to deal with the MS. 8. My MD friend, suggested I read all I could about LDN and then call him back if I wanted him to write me a prescription for LDN. So it was very easy to get the LDN prescription. 9. No problems filling the LDN prescription, I have it mailed from Skip's Pharmacy in Boca Raton, Florida. 10. I have been taking LDN for a year and a half. 11. The physical therapist could see an improvement in my abilities after only 3 days on LDN. I can now jog again and do any activity that I want. I also so enjoy that I can take a pill every night instead of a shot. 12. I might appear to someone watching me that I am a bit stiff (although a lot of people my age are much stiffer without MS than I am!)...but I can do anything, and I have no pain. 13. I have not had any negative side effects from LDN. I may have some vivid dreams but I really do not consider that negative. 14. When I was taking copaxone shots each day, I would go into tremors for up to an hour and then be so warn out I had to rest. Now on LDN I am as active as I was before I was diagnosed. 15. Yes I will continue to take LDN!!! 16. I hope that others will read all the information they can find on LDN, and then find a doctor who will work with them to let them take LDN.
