Guest guest Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Hi Sheila, I don't think it will hurt anything....but keep in mind that Avonex is an Immune suppressant while LDN is an immune inhanser. So it's possible that they may cancel each other out. With LDN, which Dr. Bahari reports, there is a 98% chance that it STOPS the progression of MS....With Avonex and all other ABCRs there is only a proven 35% chance of SLOWING the progression. So who need them when we have LDN? I understand your fears of stopping Avonex, when you think that there is a possibility of it slowing the prgression of disability. I have chosen the 98% STOP, rather than the 35% SLOW. I was one of the 65% that Avonex and Copaxone did not help. (only made me sicker) Isn't it wonderful that you have a choice now? For me the choice was easy...but I have had MS for 30+ yrs.....and with LDN, a few suppliments and light exercising and stretching, I feel better than I have in years. Now , if they could just find a cure for allergies and sinus woes....I would be in 7th heaven. Love, Sally > Hi Everyone. :-) I am new to this and am wondering if you can take > the LDN along with your Avonex? > Hugs, > Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi All, I got my LDN in the mail today!!!!!!!!!! I would like everone's opinion. I take sleep medicine (Ambien and Trazadone) Do you think it would be okay to take LDN at 10 PM and then my sleep med before bed, after 11PM usually?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Margie, I would suggest taking your sleep med at the regular time and taking the LDN right before you turn off the light. Less chance of having it keep you awake. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi Margie, Once I started LDN, I slept like a kid. You may not need any sleep aids. I hope that you don't but everyone is not the same.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi Marie, I will not take my sleep med tonight and will try to go without it for a few nights and see what happens. I have severe insomnia.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Hi Margie, Also in some people, when taking LDN at the beginning they get insomnia. but Dr. Bihari says that you should go back to normal in about a week. If after a week, you continue to have insomnia then you should cut back the dosage a little. In my case, I had a hard time sleeping for years and when I started LDN, from the first night I slept like a kid again. Well good luck with your LDN. Stay healthy.
