STRESS AND MS ( OR OTHER ILLNESSES)

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I have always thought that STRESS was, maybe not the cause, but the

effect of my MS. Please read an exerpt from an article in a medical

journal, that I read......it justifies my feelings. ~Sally

It is important to understand that stress always corresponds to a

relation between the environment and the individual. It means that

an aggression and a response have occurred, and that a interaction

took place, as it has been proposed by the Canadian physician Hans

Selye, the creator of the modern concept of stress. According to

him, the so-called physiological stress is a normal adaptation

syndrome, or a fight-or-flight situation (when faced with a enemy,

animals either try to escape, or remain to fight). However, when the

response is pathological, such as in a ill-adapted individual, or in

a situation where the stress stimulus persists for a long time, then

an organic mal-function takes place, which may lead to transitory

disturbances or to severe manifestations of disease. At least,

excessive stress may worsen pre-existent diseases or may provoke

diseases in persons who are genetically predisposed to them. A

medical case ensues.

Hi ann,

I had shingles a couple of years ago and the pain was awful.......so I know what you're going through......Ouch!!!

About the ldn.......I don't know how long you took it, but I do know that you should not give up on it, without giving it

at least 6 months........it works slowly on some of us. It really depends how much damage that the ms has done to

our nerves over the years. It also depends on who your compounding pharmacy is....is it being compounded properly

and is it the right doseage for you ?

Get off the codene and back on ldn and give it a little longer........and remember, the main LDN perk, is ho more

progression. Try to keep that in mind, when it doesn't seem to be deminishing your symptoms at times.

I and all of us are with you all the way.......and keep letting us know how you're doing.

My prayers for a quick recovery from the horrid shingles.

Sally - thanks for sharing, I know first hand that stress is very tough. I am continuing to get over a case of Shingles which effected the joints in my good leg - it has been rough.I went off the LDN because of all the other stuff they put me on but am going to try it again probably next week, I didn't see too much from the LDN compared to some of the group's comments, I am wondering if it just wasn't working for me? Your thoughts?I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers, take care Sally, best regards - ann
