Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Congratulations, Dave!With best wishes for continued improvement,Dudley Delany dudley_delanyFrom: Finlinson Sent: Tuesday, January 8, 2008 12:52 PM low dose naltrexone Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Question I hope this does not discourage anybody who is having a hard time seeing a difference in taking LDN but I had my first dose (3 mg) last night at 10 pm and didn't expect any differences because I don't consider that I have many problems but I startled from sleep at 4 am with feeling in my hand. I immediately noticed there was NO numbness in my right hand that has been numb since Jan/Feb 2005. It seemed so hard to believe that I laid there feeling my hand for about 20-30 minutes to be certain I wasn't crazy. There is now slight numbness this morning but it is markedly less than before last night's first dose. I also noticed the lack of urgency that I always have when I wake up during the night. I also noticed sensations in my right forearm that I didn't believe had any issues. I of course am anxious to see that these are only the first signs of a long pattern of proof but I'm very impressed so far. Than ks to all of you and your testimonials and inquiries that have helped me take this path.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Dudley, I've been following this list for a while and want to thank you for the links you always have handy. They are quite useful. And if you run across any information about LDN / autoimmune thyroid disorders / autoimmune eye disease, please post it. I hope to be trialling LDN in March or April, after a thyroidectomy. I am leery of introducing anything new while I'm in the hyper phase of Graves Disease and also I'm treated with PTU, which is an immunosuppressant, and now and then with prednisone for eye inflammation. I've seen no literature about LDN for thyroid so appreciate any feedback from anyone on it.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi a, A number of group members are using LDN for Graves disease and Sjorgen's syndrome and they periodically post their progress. Maybe some will share their insights for you now. If anything additional comes along about LDN and autoimmune eye and/or thyroid disorders (that isn't first posted by someone else), I will post it here.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 DLPA destroys the enzyme that causes endorphins to self-destruct, and so extends their life. No script necessary to purchase DLPA. I take 500mgs 10AM, 3PM and sometimes with my LDN at 11PM, all on an empty stomach. I get my Solaray brand through Amazon.com. Around $10.00 for a bottle of 60 capsules. -Art -- > > I have read many times that DLPhenylalamime is known to increase the > effects of LDN. Can anyone tell me where to get this from?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 FYI. At the beginning of last week I went to to order DLPA. I was filling out the order and there was a note to allow a couple extra days for shipping, because the product had to be shipped from HerbsMD. I went to HerbsMd and found Solaray DLPA for 9.29/ 60 cap bottle. This is a little bit cheaper than . The shipping was free, with a catch. There is a minimum order. I think it was about $90.00. I ordered 10 bottles to get the free shipping. I had purchased one bottle, through the health food store, to make sure I was not going to react badly to the DLPA. While I ordered 10 bottles, I only received 8, with the notation (Out of Stock) please reorder. Even though only getting 8 bottles made the order less than the minimum, the shipping was still free. Now, does the out of stock mean that will also be delayed and how long does out of stock mean? I think having received 8 bottles, they will have replenished their stock by the time I need to reorder.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think it's completely normal to have a hard time looking up (at least that is the case with my son). When they look up, the bottom of the back of the helmet touches their neck/shoulders and gets pushed forward into their eyes. My poor little guy loves airplanes, and he tries so hard to look up at them from under his band that he sometimes leans too far back and topples over. And he has a DocBand, which I'm pretty certain doesn't come as far down in the back as StarBand and Hanger, so that makes it worse for your daughter. A couple of adjustments at the beginning isn't unusual either to get the fit just right. Our therapist had to shave around my son's ear hole a couple of times to get it just right and keep it from pushing down on his ear. Does the fit seem better after the two adjustments? Does she have any red spots that don't fade after an hour with the helmet off?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 My husband has been taking protocel since July Œ07 for Hodgkin¹s Lymphoma, stage 2. The lysing that he has exerienced have been bubbly urine, more bowel movements, oily scalp, night sweats, rash in the area of the large tumor, and runny nose. He had a PET scan done in Dec. and the tumor had gone from a 15 SUV level down to an 8 SUV level. We haven¹t had a scan done since Dec., but he seems to be feeling better these past couple of weeks, so we hope there has been more improvement made. There is a site at www.protocelforum.com where you can go for information. Another website is www.elonnamckibbon.com. She survived a GBM taking only Protocel.

If we were to go for a walk or be outside for an extended period of time I would either put suntan lotion on the scalp (pain in the butt) or have him wear one of my husbands hats so it would fit over the helmet. Otherwise if we were just running into a store or something he was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I used a sunscreen spray - it was made for babies scalps - It was a light mist and was 50+ spf. I don't remember the name - but I got it at Babies R Us. Make sure you spray it on and rub it in a bit and let it dry before putting on the band.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would take his band off and rub the sunscreen on his head, trying to keep as little as possible going where the band covers his head. Make sure that it is dried all the way before putting the band back on. You can also buy a sunhat in a larger size, say a 2T, and put that on over the band.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 You need to see a dermatologist. The can look at it and immediately tell you whether its something that should be removed and whether it looks suspicious. If they remove, they will always get a biopsy regardless or whether they think its malignant or benign, that's standard practice. The fact that is brown, black and red sounds suspicious to me. I know because I had 2 removed that were malignant (sqaumous cell carcinoma), while I had many removed that were benign. Don't procrastinate Here's a site that explains the main types of skin cancer http://www.umm.edu/skincancer/typesof.htm Good luck Dan From: bk4529@... I'm wondering if anyone here can help me to decide what to do about this spot on my head. I have a spot that started out as a red spot that itched a lot. Now, I can't see it and only know what the kids have told me. It stayed this way for a long time only itching a lot. Now they tell me that it's changed colors and is brown, black and red. I found something here on the Internet about melanoma and am wondering if this is what it is. What is your advice on this, Can it seed from being taken off? Should it be cut out? It's about the size of a a small pea. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I call the Dr. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 based upon your description it may very well be a melanoma. These are VERY DANGEROUS and should be removed ASAP. Escharotics are the only safe way to remove them. Surgical extirpation is risky as it can spread. You will know when you apply it if it is malignant as it crusts up and turns white around the edges. Anything else will not react to the escharotic. Escharotics burn like he..! The pain goes on and on until the eschar forms and falls off. If there is a thread hanging towards the end of the process DO NOT CUT IT! It is a nerve and plucking it will cause so much pain that you may pass out. http://www.cancersalves.com/introduction/treatment.html bk4529 wrote: >I'm wondering if anyone here can help me to decide what to do about this spot on my head.

Blood tests can give you an idea though: the western blot IgM is positive earlier on, and the western blot IgG is positive later on with prolonged involvement (by this time the IgM is usually back to negative as it peaks, then wanes). The OspA and OspB (of the western blot) are the ones that show up if there is arthritic involvement. If you're not one who keeps records or a " medical diary " , you could probably look over your medical records and see a pattern emerging. I'm sure one of our more brain-functioning members can give you much more detailed info, but that's my simplistic take on it. in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 If there's something on the MRI, it would not be due to the Apraxia/Dyspraxia, because it doesn't show on the CAT or MRI tests (one of the reasons they call it a " hidden disability " so it must be due to something else-- and I would seek out that reason and what it is til you feel satisified by the Dr's answer bek In a message dated 9/15/2008 9:27:25 A.M.
