Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 What I did to get a pres. from my GP was to print an article written by a neuro. on ldn.org. This was enough to get this. Then you have to find a compounding pharmacy to fill it & it takes a few days. Cost is only about $30./month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 i have just posted this question and got several answers,but considering that here in italy speaking about ldn means getting always the same information:it is for symptoms in ppms,i post again the question: was i wright when reading about ldn i understood it is to slow progression in rr and spms,and could also be taken in ppms due to its hight capacity in symptom reduction? please forgive this question but i had a chat with my neurologist that is one of the italian ldn trial performer,and even if he knows i'm now on ldn from 7 months,he continues to tell me that it is mainly for ppms and mine is a spms. does someone know what was the results presentation (in chicago) that italian coordinator dr gironi gave last week and if she spoke about a second trial on rr-sp ms. any information will be very appreciated my best emiliano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi Glad to see you have joined the group. Many others have described similar symptoms, so hopefully some of them will reply. The advice from the more experienced users tends to be, to tough it out, as it is early days yet, and in the meantime not to increase past 3mg. Also keep Dr. Boyle advised of your progress. Aletha, as is a new member, can you send her your welcome email, and do you have any saved emails on initial stiffness after starting LDN? Thanks. Tommy Posted by: " Kerr " amandakerr1403@... amandakerr1403 Fri May 9, 2008 3:10 am (PDT) Hi everyone, Here is my story- diagnosed in march 2007 with MS (remitting and relapsing). My mobility has gradually got worse. Got married there in march 2008 and want to stop this disease getting worse or progressing further. Recently discovered LDN from a friend and discussed it with Dr. Phil Boyle in Galway Clinic Ireland who prescribed it for me. Started on 2mg on the 21st April for ten days then increasing to 3mg for 10 days and then up to the best dose of 4.5mg. Currently still on 3mg but feel worse can virtually not walk at all now, even standing is a problem, legs like pokers,stiffness,balance not good and dizziness increased.Also taken a York Test to eliminate certain foods from my diet and taking extra vitamins. Can anyone tell me how long this will happen and when will i begin to notice a difference. It is really getting me down and need to hear from someone else who has experienced this.
