Good morning, Becky in Iowa:

What dose of LDN are you taking? Also, are you exhibiting any insomnia?

I was DX MS last November with advanced MS. My nuro put me on Copaxone

that did nothing except hurt. When the injection was given and for

several days after. I was also getting leg stiffness which is a Copaxone

side affect. Secondary progression was setting in which Copaxone does

nothing for.

I have been on LDN since spring time. My legs are still a little stiff but

seem to be getting better. My bladder control is " normal " again. My inner

ear balance is returned. My extreme fatigue is gone away! I still need a

coffee in the afternoon but that is close to normal. Sometimes after work

I still find myself overly tired (interferes with personal projects).

I do find that if I over work (physically) myself I will sometimes stagger,

which is better than before I used to be in pain if I over worked.

LDN has stopped the progression and also given me a life back. Before LDN

I was months away from becoming totally disabled!
