Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I bought the popcorn, but I'm afraid to make it. I don't want to feel bad tomorrow. Somehow just knowing that it's on the shelf and that I COULD make it if I wanted to helps. It's a kind of weird comfort. Rather than making the popcorn, I fried chicken breasts in great heaps of butter and vegetable salt (kind of like popcorn) and fried them until they were a little crispy. And, yeah, I know it's not good to burn meat, but it was better than eating popcorn. I wonder if I will ever have the nerve to take the popcorn off the shelf...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I have the hardest time at night since I cannot go to bed hungry but I can't have meat or vegetables at bedtime as they cause me indigestion. This is my biggest challenge with Candida diet or any low carb. One thing that has helped the most is to take some fruit juice and put a little cream in it. It's easy to digest. I think the cream helps to satisfy me more than the juice alone and I think the cream helps to slow down absorption of the sugars in the fruit juice. I've tried the cream alone and amount I could drink isn't satisfying. Jeanne Vaughn <yuxtalineal@...> wrote: I bought the popcorn, but I'm afraid to make it. I don't want to feel bad tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Ok - I know this is crazy and just irrational fear, but I just ordered LDN and am looking forward to the benefits. I am also a little nervous. Did anyone else have to work through feeling like " this is too good to be true " type of feelings? Of course, I've also ordered the Candida Book as I was on antibiotics for over a year and I know it can impact LDN's effectiveness. Any advice on that one? Can I start the LDN while starting yeast treatment? Thanks in Advance!!! Abby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Abby, Oh my gosh, yes we had those feelings! I don't know what condition you're taking the LDN for, but my daughter takes it for MS. She had been on Rebif for one year and had a terrible, terrible time. We were SO afraid to get our hopes up! Even after speaking with Boyle Bradley via telephone and hearing her confident reassurance it was still difficult to let ourselves " go there " and believe the life-changing potential of LDN. Still, it came true for my daughter. Her life DID change for the better....thank God! : ) This group is so knowledgeable and supportive - they are Godsends too! All the best to you! Keep us posted! Beach PS - I'll have to defer to someone else on the Candida question. I hope you're taking probiotics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I had a lot of fear. It took me a few months to decide to try it, and then I was worried my sensitive system wouldn’t like it. When I took my first pill I got a little panicky thinking that it might do something to me in my sleep. In the end, it was fine. Sounds like your fear is more about it working or not. All I can say about that is the only way to find out is to try!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Abby, I researched LDN for a good 2-3 months and followed a friend of mine taking LDN before I went to my Neurologist because it seemed Too Good To Be True....But I don't regret it at all. I take LDN for SPMS and Transverse Myelitis and I went from a walker, wheelchair, power chair to now not having to use anything. LDN effects everyone different and some get benefits from it and some don't except the progression stopping. I was on LDN for 2 yrs before the lesions in my brain all went away. Until there is a cure there is LDN!! Once you get your LDN and start taking it those feelings will or should go away.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Sure can relate to that. Took me a month before I had the gumption to start taking LDN. I did decide to start on 1.5 mg and worked up to 3mg. I have not tried 4.5 because I am scared that it will cause more muscle spasms. Sal > > I had a lot of fear.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah, I imagined I was taking cyanide pills every night and wasn't gonna wake up the next day. The FEAR factor is the worst. Every little thing out of the ordinary you can panic over, I think it's the biggest issue we have.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 -I am the most distrusting person out there. I was very nervous. Then, I just stopped, took a minute, and decided to " just go with my gut " I just knew from then on out, that is was right. I have had wonderful results. Best decision I ever made. On top of that, my 16 year old daughter is about to start, so that tells you how safe I think it is.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I feared 'NOT' being able to go LDN! After doing 5 years of IV steroids, Copaxone, Rebif and Avonex injections, my MS still progressed to Primary progressive. My neuro offered me IV tysabri as a last resort. I rejected that idea and asked that he scribe LDN. Looking backward, if I had it to do all over again I would have skipped all the needles and drugs that made me more miserable than the MS did. We all fear the unknown, so your fear is valid. I had suffered with fear every time I had to inject. I had relief on day one from LDN. Thats something that can't be said for the five years of other drugs that I took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I started at 3 mg when I started LDN then waited 5 months and then went up to the 4.5 mg and I had no problems with muscle spasms. Some people get them and some don't but they usually go away.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I don't have MS and never had any muscle problems with my illness I have severe muscle spasms now since day three of ldn 4.5 I am now on my 4th month and they are fading with each day. I was told my Doctor who perscribes LDN alot that this is common with starting off at a very high dose until your body adjusts to it. > > > > I had a lot of fear.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My journey with MS has been riddled with fear. First fear for my loss of health when I got diagnosed. Then fear of the unknown - what would happen to me. Fear of starting Rebif and then fear of stopping the Rebif which I now feel just poisoned my system. When I found out about LDN about 3 weeks ago I just had an overwhelming feeling of assurance. I knew it was what I had been looking for. I just started at 4.5mg last night but when I first received my Rx I couldn't sleep for days - even before I started taking the LDN because I was nervous like a little school girl. My mind just kept racing. I'm still cautious in my expectations but I know in my heart that this is better for me that any of those horrible CRAB drugs. Good luck, follow your gut and stay positive. I know I'm going to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
