Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I am one of the few that have had a more or less favorable response to LDN. Copaxone sucked! I was in worse shape after six months on Copaxone that after getting out of the hospital after my firs really major relapse. After getting out of the hospital with the aid of physical therapy and working out in the gym at work I was in excellent condition. Then the progression set in! When I discovered LDN my legs were already stiff and hurt most of the time. My hands were stiff and it was becoming hard to type (even the minor amount I needed to fix computers at work. I was having a hard time remembering common terms that I use daily. Most of this came from progression using Copaxone. Since I started LDN the stiffness has slowed slightly. My hands while still somewhat stiff are working better, I can type better though still not using all the right fingers. Dyslexia has stopped. The pain has pretty much gone away. I can almost play guitar again! (not all my usual chords of past times but the more basic bar chords mostly work again and I am remembering the music better. At the moment I have not recovered from all the progression that I had on Copaxone. But I have recovered a lot. I am hoping that by fall I will be back to where I was just after my major relapse last November, when I was first Dx. Maybe by next summer I will be close to pre MS (I hope). What LDN has given me more than anything else is HOPE!!! And it offers that to everyone! Here we can again have HOPE!!!!!! I was DX in November 2003 with advanced MS. I was given no opportunity to improve. The National MS magazine shows people becoming more and more disabled and offers no hope of becoming any better or of even staying the same! LDN offers a chance of recovery (at least a little) and offers the most important quality of life there is. HOPE!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hi , You sound just like me. copaxone was making me worst and after getting off of copaxone and getting on LDN, I am feeling like the old person that I once was.
