Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Jeff, Don't be discouraged, sweetie. It just takes time. It sounds like you're making tremendous progress. Maybe you just got a little worn out from all the "holidaying". How wonderful that you were able to participate as much as you did! I'm pretty sure I remember reading that DLPA is recommended to help a bit with mild depression and to keep the endorphins going a bit longer during the day. I haven't taken it, so I don't have any personal experience with it. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info about this? Best wishes for a happy, healthy new year! God bless!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Jeff, Please let me encourage you to keep going. I started taking LDN in May '07 and have been able to wean off my antidepressant drugs I was prescribed before LDN. I tend to be a melancholy type person and live in W. Pa where we don't see much sun EVEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS Plus, I KNOW my Avonex was playing havoc with my moods as were all the steroids I was put on to supposedly "help" me. Well, 8 months later, MIDDLE OF WINTER, CLOUDY and 6 INCHES OF SNOW OUTSIDE, I'm OK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure what your taking LDN for (I suspect MS), but I have RRMS and this time last year I was having an attack and getting ready for yet ANOTHER steroidal treatment which ALWAYS only made me feel worse both physically AND emotionally!! I say all this to hopefully encourage you to remember by taking LDN, you are helping your body heal itself. That's also why this wonderful group exsists. I know I couldn't have made it by myself without this site of great folks to encourage ME along. Keep checking in with us and keep taking those walks, they can be soooo helpful lifting one's mood JanetRRMS 1994LDN May '07PS. I was at the last LDN conference, and if you think Cyndi's teaser was great, wait until you see their final DVD. That conference was a TREMENDOUS help and encouragement to not only me, but to my hubby as well (who, until then, only got all my LDN stories and THOUGHT he understood how great LDN is)."jeff.tihansky" <Jeff@...> wrote: Hi founding people and pioneers: I started taking LDN about six weeks ago - 10/18/07 and so far have seen stop of progression and some improvement which is incredible yet still I am sometimes ungrateful.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Jeff, I also have MS and am on LDN (4.5mg). One of the things I've read about MS, is that depression is one of the most common symptoms. I suffered from mild depression before my diagnosis and I'm sure the diagnosis hasn't helped it any. I take a very low dose (30mg) of an anti-depressant called, " Cymbalta " and it seems to really do the trick for me. I had taken Zoloft previously, but it made my tremor much worse, so I quit it. It sounds like you're doing a great job of managing your MS, though...you may just need a little spirit boost! I'd suggest talking to your doctor about possibly trying an anti-depressant. If you do decide to go that route, be patient...it may take months to get you on the right one and the right dosage, but I highly recommend starting whichever one you and your doctor choose, at the lowest dosage available and work up from there.
