Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 I'm not an expert, but LDN blocks *opiate* uptake and BetaSeron is interferon so I don't see why they'd be incompatible. Pain killers of the opiate variety, yes incompatible. The only reason I could see is what we're trying to do here is re-balance rather than suppress the immune system and if Betaseron does the later, it would not be recommended at the same time. My two cents...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Does anyone know why copaxone is compatible and is any taking copaxone and LDN that is diagnosed as primary or secondary progressive? -----Original Message-----From: G.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Copaxone is an artificial protein that fools the immune system into attacking it instead of ones nerves. It may be good for stopping relapses, though it feels to me after six months of torture (the shots hurt when given and then are sore for 3 to 5 days) that it does little or nothing for progression. I hope to soon be getting LDN. I have not been officially dx with secondary but symptoms seem to be getting worse without relapses. Interferon works by partially turning off the immune system. Copaxone does not do that. ----- Original Message ----- From: CK Connie King (1452) ' G.
