Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi, I have been away for a while. I didn’t post any message lately, however I have been reading your testimonials at least twice a day because I needed to know I was right. I used to post here using a different nick too. I preferred changing it when starting writing about LDN in an Italian MS forum. Needless to say how difficult and discouraging it can be. Outside here, people are not always willing to accept new things. Additionally, they don’t like anyone raising doubts the cure they’re following might not be working, no matter how badly they’re suffering trough. I will be extremely pleased if just one person among these will eventually find benefit from switching to LDN. As far as I know, In Italy my sister is still the only one under Naltrexone. This is briefly her story with MS and LDN: She had 2 optic neuritis almost regularly in 1999 and 2001. She had been treated with steroids and she fully recovered from these attacks. No long time treatment was undertaken at the time. In March 2003 she had her worst relapse. She accused numbness and tingling in arms and stomach, lost of touch feeling at her fingertips, difficulty with bladder control, fatigue, pain and electric shocks on her back. MRs showed several lesions at her cervical and 1 at her spinal cord, confirming the RR MS diagnosis. Treated with steroids during the attach she has been dismissed and waiting to start either Interferon or an experimental drug on a medical trial. Was during this time that we came across LDN. I still remember the first message about LDN I ever encountered in an health board by someone called “batman777” that I believe it’s still online… http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/Forum84/HTML/000415.html From there, I reached low dose naltrexone website and then joined this amazing group of people you are. You’d agree with me, we have to keep writing to others about our testimonials no matter if we are repeating our self. It is so important and encouraging for anyone considering starting LDN. At first, I had from someone of you guys, the name of doctor Lawrence in UK (I am still in contact with him). He really encouraged us to go ahead with LDN and he was also about to supply us with the LDN directly from UK to Italy. In the meantime we successfully found a doctor in Italy that firstly showed interest for this therapy. I am expecting him to start soon prescribing Naltrexone to other of his patients, especially considering my sisters’ progresses since then using LDN. Today, 40th day with LDN, she is just complaining minor electric shocks at her neck once every other day that is also attenuating (This might be a sign that she didn’t quite get used to the current dosage of 3.3 mg but we are confident it will be just question of time). All her other symptoms are gone! Tomorrow, she said, she’ll go back again to the gym. Other than an intention to encourage anyone that is thinking about starting LDN but is still hesitant, giving this testimonial was my commitment to all of you. I know that all you want from this forum is to hear you helped someone else…well, you certainly did it with us. Perhaps, someone of you can also help me to let batman777 know that, in the end, someone heard him during his bloody fight against skepticisms in the Health Board. He probably doesn’t know. If you know him, could you please tell him that, thanks to him, my sister is today feeling extremely optimistic for her future and therefore truly happy for any single moment she is now enjoying in good health? PS: “maxbtm” is a combination of “max” and “batman”. I wish I could do something as much as he did for me.
