why I had an attack

[Guest guest]

I had speculated that blocking endorphin could be bad, and that maybe

I was taking too much.

I now think Dr. Bihari is correct: that the therapy

works by a temporary blockade for maybe 6 hours, and that your system

reacts by producing more. But it's important when your production

does start (timing).

So I was not taking too much.

A picodose does not have the same blockading effect. So it's ok to

take during the day. But a blokading dose (more than about 0.1mg)

taken during the day will just make things worse (the split dose).

Also I need twice as much as somebody who weighs 120 lbs.

So I was having gradual improvements on 6mg/day, at night.

Last night I had a bit of a problem though. I woke at 4:30 am

(thought I had stopped doing that) and looked in a mirror.

Remember your eyeballs are giant nerve endings. Remember there is

involvement with eyes in most MS cases. I had been wearing a mask

for sleep starting at the same time as I took LDN. I got the mask

on a transatlantic flight several years ago. It's never been cleaned.

What I saw in the mirror was pinkeye! I had an eye infection! In

both eyes. Started wearing the mask about the same time I started

using LDN. Eeek.

So it's back to square one for me and no more eye masks. I go to the

sleep clinic next week for my apnia and nocturnal myoclonus.

I'll keep you posted, but don't worry about *your* LDN dose. If

worried (don't) ask a doctor who knows something.

A picodose, BTW will enhance the effect of the endorphin you produced

last night or this morning. Don't take more than 0.1 mg. Wait an

hour.

If you want to make sure *your* main dose is all out of your system by

the start of *your* production cycle, make it an hour earlier. The

downside is you might not have as good a rebound effect when your

cycle *does* start. As good. It will still happen. Adjust timing

for your best results. You might need to make it an hour later.

Good luck.
