Re: Mom's Fibromyalgia (in response to Mymisspriss)

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark,

What a wonderful son you are. What I wanted to mention is that there are

several compounders out there that are mixing up the LDN for a lot of MSer's

perhaps it might be a better idea to use one of those, as they are more

familiar with it. Here is a list of some of them. There are others but these

are the ones I know of.

1. Skips Pharmacy (800) 553-7429

(561) 218-8873 fax

2. Apothecure (800) 969-6601

(800) 687-5252 fax

3. Larry Fielders (630) 859-0333

(630) 859-0114 fax

Good luck to you and your mom. Joyce.
