Dreaming of health and wellness via LDN!

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is (Yiskah), and I am a mom, wife, dream-worker, poetess. Its funny how the one side effect attributed to LDN is strong dreams! Mine have certainy taken on a more vivd quality! I have decided to compile some of these dreams, and wonder if you will share yours with me.

My story: I really see this illness, MS, as a spiritual journey for me. It is very clear to me that this journey began with my immense grief of losing my mother to breast cancer in 1995. There have been spiritual signposts along the way, from the letters "MS" burning in the woodstove while I journaled before it (!) shortly before my first bout with optic neuritis (my first symptom of MS), to the longing, and then the dream, to conceive, carry and birth my older son, to the wishes for deeper vision- followed by near blindness, and more. I was first diagnoased with MS in the winter of 1996. In these past 14 years, I have had optic neuritis, double optic neuritis, loss of hearing in my right ear, fatigue, face palsey (more than once), 'phantom itches', pain- mostly in my right leg/right hip, MS 'hug', loss of equilibrium, compromised mobility, and extreme numbness and loss of ability in my right hand (so much so that

I have dropped and broken numerous dishes, I can barely write, I now eat left-handed, and my typing is largely done with pointer fingers, or left handed.) I have also experienced loss of feeling in other parts of my body- more than once. And presently, my hands and arms, fingers up to elbows, are intolerably itchy at times! Throughout all of these challenges, I have always chosen to go the 'natural' route- believing this was from G-d. I have never had intravenius steroids- though I understand why people would choose to do this, and I have never taken any of the CRAB drugs. I have done much acupuncture over the years, and recently homeopathy as well as seeing a chiropracter. I also was somewhat active for many years- hiking with my good dog or swimming, but lately I am unmotivated, definitly fatigued, a bit depressed, and having compromised mobility isn't helping. But now my journey takes me on new

paths, and I am very excited to try LDN! I have high hopes for its effectiveness, and as my goal is to heal completely (a promise I made to my baby, Lev), I have just finished weaning him (1 year-old) in order to begin.

I started taking LDN (3 mg) on New Year's Day: 1/1/11 (that way I won't forget when I began!) So far, I am not really seeing a change. As a matter of fact, I seem to feel more fatigued than I did when I was only taking homeopathy. My equilibrium also could use an improvement. I saw my prescribing physician today and she said LDN is not a "magic bullet", but that people often see improvement over the long run. She suggested that I start taking 4.5 mg now. I began this on 1/10/11. It may be (I hope) that the fatigue is lessening, but the equilibrium still has a way to go.

Please check out my dream website: www.livingdream.net (livingdream-dot-net)

and consider sending me your vivid, surreal, strong, even scarey dreams since you started taking LDN. if you are open or interested, we can even do dream work on these dreams to help unravel whatever meaning they may have. Of course, this is free-of-charge.

Thanks for reading my story. I hope to hear from you: yiskah@....
