Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Dear Angie, I am sorry your mom is doing badly. My honest opinion(as a mom) is to try LDN. It is not a cure, you must remember that, but it may help in some small way that would make her feel a little more comfortable. It may even stop the spasms that are giving her swallowing problems. You are a good daughter to her, trying to research all you can. I would only hope my kids never give up on me as long as I can understand what is goin on. It is not very expensive and may even be covered by insurance, so GO FOR IT! Kiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Oh my goodness Angie. I just hate to hear of cases like this. I think to myself what if..... What if your mom would have taken the LDN years ago. This is when I get so damned mad at this whole system. I don't see where it would hurt for you to embark on this road we are all traveling. I have heard it said that it does not matter what type of MS a person has....LDN treats them all the same. I would not want to promise anything in the way of symptom relief but it should halt any further progression. I say give it a shot. What do you have to lose. I'd be pulling for her and would be curious to know how she might just improve over what position she is in. You sound like a wonderful mother...please keep persuing other avenues as you are. Perhaps you could call and speak with Dr. Bihari direct or maybe one of his patients could ask him this question. Good luck to you and God bless. Please keep us informed with all that you find out k? Joyce. From: silentwren@... low dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Deterioration in MS and LDN... Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 19:39:55 EDT Hi, all..... I just joined the list and have enjoyed reading some of the positive results some of you are getting with LDN. My mother has had chronic-progressive MS for about 25 years now and has just entered a nursing home. I was wondering if LDN would be of any use to her or if it would be worth a try -- in anyone's opinion? I feel that anything is worth trying at this point. She is very deteriorated, and I don't mean just numbness, spasms, and fatigue. She has no trunk balance, is in bed or a wheel chair (propped up), has no use of her right hand (it's flaccid), has a foley catheter and no bowel control. She is now having problems swallowing. She does have all her mental facilities though, so it is even harder seeing the body going like this. Of course most doctors have given up on her, so I am taking on the quest to bring back or stabilize some of her weak areas. (even looking into apitherapy) I am researching all I can, and came across the LDN website for the first time yesterday, and thought that it was worth a try. If any one has an opinion or maybe knows of someone who has severe symptoms like my Mom and has been helped, I'd love to hear them! Thank you!!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Angie My daughter is an angel like you I hope you will always be there for your mom LDN costs 38 dollars a month but have to order it from the pharmacies they recommend http://lowdoesnaltrixone.org For me as I can't start it now yet (heart problems) For all spasims and hell I have daily High minerals and High C and many other things Pls. See if you can call this Dr. Bihari and try LDN and if not pls. contact me incase I can help you with making the mineral shots and drips or contacting doctors who can help with those I am sorry she is in so much pain But pls. magnesium and postasium are MG and MS friends and my life savers up to today. I do not keep any minerals in my body ( so I am more regular with my IV of High minerals and electrolyes) it all goes as I put it in, but others I know only have them few times and they are doing well for years. Let me know if I can help.
