Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 nne, I hope that the link helped explain it way better than I ever could. HUGS |)onna Thanks so much!! I am going to read it now. Hugs nne To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world" "May the Lord Bless you and keep you, May the Lord Make his face shine upon you, and give you Peace...Forever" Breast Cancer Patients Soul Mates for Life http://breastcancerpatientssoulmatesforlife.bravehost.com/ Anxiety Depression and Breast Cancer http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/AnxietyDepressionandBreastCancer Angel Feather Loomer www.angelfeatherloomer.blogspot.com The Cancer Club www.cancerclub.com Re: LDN....Re: … Please refresh my memory Sharon, I'm ta betting... since I haven't checked into LDN for quite awhile (probably should have kept my fingers still on that question).. but I am ta thinking that more and more doctors are recognizing, as you said, LDN and it's benefits. Pretty much like my primary insurance company doing an authorization for my Provigil from no until 2099. When I mentioned my surprise on that to my health care manager from Highmark, she said, it was done that way because they (Highmark) recognize (now) the actual benefit of that drug for people with MS. Whereas, before now, it was an uphill struggle to have something prescribed "off-label" and have it approved easily. And on the second point, Butalbital (Esgic) wouldn't be any good for pain either, and would cancel out the LDN... Then I guess that I wouldn't be able to switch to LDN either, because of the prescription for the ocular migraines (that I still don't understand.. the ocular migraines, not the prescription.. LOL)... Oh good grief.. wonder if I'm going to be told that I'm having migraines in my teeth now?? Looks as if I'm might be ruining someone's holiday weekend, and confusing a bunch of doctors in the ER as well.. IF the pain starts up again tonight in my jaw.. I hate having to head for the ER.. for a toothache... but I'm pretty sure that a toothache stays a toothache and doesn't go away during the day, only to come back at night, but not every night.. or might be here during the day, but not at night.. and right now, I feel like I've got an earache.. That's Trigeminal Neuralgia, isn't it? HUGS |)onna My well respected neurologist precribed LDN for me and had no problem with it. I know Dan gets LDN from the neurologist at UCSF. I think if the University of California at San Francisco is prescribing LDN then other neuros should take another look at it too. My opinion:) You can't be on narcotics when on LDN because they act against each other. Naltrexone was originally used in treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse to mute their effects. At least that's what I think I remember;) hugs Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.
