Re: im starting to loes hope

[Guest guest]

Hi Lin.

You sound so upset. How do you know you might be improving but all inside.

Maybe it will take a while to show outside. I have been on it for two months

and don't see any major improvements but I feel like I am doing pretty good.

I can see small changes. I know that it is stopping the progression of the

disease.

Keep the faith. Wishing you well.

Marie

Lin,

Improvements are a side affect of becoming well and not progressing. It sometimes takes a long time for nerves to heal. Some may never heal. With LDN you will not progress and become worse. Some people see more improvements than others. Sometimes people are so excited about even a minor improvement that someone reading about it might perceive it to be a major gain. Be happy that you re not becoming worse. Work on being healthy, eat right and take the right vitamins and supplements for yourself. If anyone can improve and heal themselves it is YOU!!!!!

Lin,

I am in a similar position to you. At first I felt better than I had in years but the high only lasted for two days. For me, the nightly leg spasms did disappear but they sometimes come back during the day if I sit still for too long. I too go through spells where I cannot sleep for longer than a couple of hours but I am getting used to that now. The situation is not helped by the hot flashes I also suffer from. If I wake in the night I check my emails and reading everyones posts to this group helps me to stay more positive. I find I can then go back to sleep but every night is different and I have just come to accept that if I have a bad night then I will have to have a lazy day to catch up on my rest. We just have to do what our bodies want and need sometimes. It is really hot here in the UK, last few days has been in the 90s, which is not helping - I have been going to the gym where the a/c keeps it nice and cool but as soon as I get in my car I feel as though I am melting and major fatique sets in. The exercise combined with the LDN is now starting to have an effect. I can see subtle improvements but nothing dramatic. It seems that we are all reacting slightly differently - some people are seeing immediate improvements, almost miraculous, and others like me and you it is taking longer and we will need to be patient. I am happy to wait - something is better than nothing as long as I don't get any worse.

Hang in there and try to be positive - you know it is having some effect cos you had one good day - so it does work when our body lets it. Just try and help it do its job by getting your body as healthy as you can by eating the right foods and getting rid of the nasty toxins.

Good luck to you and don't give up!

Sue
