LDN for Brachial Neuritis?

[Guest guest]

Hello, Everyone,

I am new to this group, but have been reading your posts with great

interest. Is anyone on this list taking, or know of anyone who is

taking, LDN for brachial neuritis/plexitus (or Parsonage-

Syndrome)? My doctor would like me to try LDN, as my condition has some

of the same symptoms as MS (such as the myelin being stripped from the

nerves), but would like to know if I would be the guinea pig or if

anyone else with this condition has already tried LDN?

Any info or leads would be appreciated.

Thanks very much for your help.

Best regards,

===================

LDN has such minimal side effects that I'd give it a try. In the first few

months on LDN one might experience an increase in symptoms or numbness,

stiffness, fatigue & tingling...that doesn't always happen. I have MS and I

experienced numbness for a couple of weeks in my hands and had stiffness but all

of that has subsided and I'm doing fantastic!! I've had approx. a 70% reduction

in my pain, a 40% to 50% reduction in spasticity and a 40% reduction in fatigue.

Bladder is 100% controlled on LDN. It took LDN 2 months to stop my severe

insomnia and I'm no longer short of breath. I was on a mobility scooter for 14

years. I went shopping on foot the day after I took my first dose of LDN at

4.5mg. I have been scooterless for 4 1/2 months. I can ride and outdoor

bicycle for the first time in 14 years. I can use the weight room at the YMCA.

I can now climb 19 stairsteps up to the weight room. Copy this and take it to

your doctor. BTW, who is this wonderful doctor wanting to prescribe LDN? Hug

his or her neck!!!!! Not everyone with MS will see symptom improvement. I just

happened to be one of the lucky 2/3 of people with MS who will see symptom

improvement on LDN.

I will say that the 2 troublsome fillers for the capsules are Lactose and

cornstarch. People have complained of bad stiffness lasting a long time with

Lactose. Diarrhea is sometimes a problem with these 2 fillers. Try to get

Avicel(Cellulose) as your filler. I've heard that Skip's pharmacy is a great

place to get a LDN script filled and he's the cheapest also. Skip has been

filling LDN scripts for 4 years and he uses Avicel for the filler. Skip's

pharmacy is listed on the LDN website.
