Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Hi Everyone! I am new here, and thought I should introduce myself. I have been lurking for a while now. At this point, I'm listed as possible MS. Fortunately, so far, my symptoms were extremely mild, and they found 1 very faint isolated lesion on the c-spine which was non-enhanced at the time of the MRI. I also had Optic Neuritis, and along with the other symptoms/lesion, I suspect MS. I see neuro in a month, but his suggestion initially, and I think I tend to agree, was wait 3-6 months & do more MRI's, unless I get further symptoms. Meanwhile I'm gathering all of the LDN info possible to give him. I gave him printouts from the LDN site, and I don't think that was quite convincing. Now, I read here that I probably won't get the script from him anyhow. I did find a doc in the next city over on the acam.org page, and it says he's FP so that might be a possibility. I kind of wonder if anyone knows, if I did have a phone consultation with Dr. Bahari, does he then get the records from my neuro? will he do scripts from a phone conversation? is it $200 or something like that? Any info on the phone consultations with him would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if you need an actual DX for MS to get the LDN? I think I would be a great candidate to try it, being so new to it, and I feel that the problems I had starting end of March were the first MS symptoms I have ever had, and they all came along together. The neuro says it's possible to be viral, but I doubt it. I wonder how strong of a case you need to get the LDN? Thanks & it's good to be here, every time I see a positive post on the LDN, it becomes ammunition to take to the doc! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Hi Kathy Welcome, it's nice hearing from you. I went to see Dr. Bihari but the day of my appointment, he was taken to the hospital. So much for my appointment. but I did leave important medical records with his secretary. then I had a phone conversation with him the following week. His fee is $450.00. But he gives you a form to send to your insurance company, to get re-imbursed. I thought iventually that my PC doctor would prescribe it but I wanted Dr. Bihari's guidance. Most doctors know nothing about LDN, so I felt that I needed some questions answered first. So I thought that it was best to get Dr. Bihari to prescribe it, then if I had probelms he could help me with them. Wishing you good luck.
