Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I was recently diagnosed with MS after a first attack. I have 4 small lesions on the MRI and oligoclonal bands on the spinal. I also have B12 deficiency... anyway my neuro wants me to start therapy on copaxone. He is not too keen on LDN. I am symptom free at present. I am debating what to do. I want to start LDN and then see how the follow up MRI comes back in 3 months. If there is progression or occurence of new symptoms then I will consider that LDN has failed and start copaxone. Does this sound reasonable ?. Any comments ?.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Check on the http://wwwldninfo.org web site, I do recall where it may be acceptable to take both LDN and Copaxone. I gave up on Copaxone myself. It wasn't helping my MS at all, just hurt a lot from all the shots. ----- Original Message ----- From: yashagrawal low dose naltrexone Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 8:44 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] LDN advise needed I was recently diagnosed with MS after a first attack.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Yash: I'd recommend getting on LDN and staying on it for at least several months. I think that 3 months is far too short a time period to determine that LDN has failed.
