Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I want my mother to understand me when I type/speak to her. I want all the gun toters in the world to stop killing people. I want all the governments to stop fighting and stop choosing up sides on a round planet. I want my insurance company to cover ALL my chiropractic visits. I want the world to read Wayne Dyer books and learn to live more peacefully with themselves and others. I want a lot of things, these are just a few that come to mind. Will I ever see any of them, or anything else I want to see? There were some things I did want that also seemed impossible, just 282 days ago. I wanted my leg to stop shaking, I wanted to be able to have them still without having to be moved, I wanted to drive a 5 speed stick again, I wanted to be able to go places further than 20-40 minutes without having to plan sudden pit stops. I wanted to go camping last summer. I wanted to go to Florida a few weeks ago. I got those things in the 2nd paragraph. LDN enabled them. Prior to 4/17/03, as I've heard other MSers say, I wanted ANY _1_ of those things for JUST ONE MORE DAY. That ONE more day didn't happen until 4/26 and 4/28 and now 271 days of ONE MORE DAY's. As long as I can get One More Day's, every day, and of course, the prescription and fills, that's good enough for me. Trials, approvals, acceptance, will never happen for me, so if they don't happen for LDN, and I can keep taking it and stay on the path I've been on, that's fine for me. Trials, approvals and acceptance isn't my concern, it's not my fight, it's not my business. But this story is unfolding, it's just beginning to unfold, it's been a real soap opera since April... stay tuned tomorrow, for more. ----- Original Message ----- From: low dose naltrexone Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 13:40 Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Why the aggression? I first became interested in this group approx 8 months ago when there was only a handful of people posting. I don't know whether any ground-rules exist but we kind of agreed amongst ourselves that it was best if we stuck to the subject of LDN and our various experiences with it. As we were all fairly new to the drug there was a lot to be learned in terms of individuals' reactions to it and a lot of vital information was shared. How has this group managed to jump from being so supportive of each other to being so aggressive and attacking people both via the group emails and apparently by personal email? I appreciate that the various conditions that we are all living with can make us all very angry but can we not simply agree to disagree sometimes? I doubt if any of us are experts although I except that some appear to be more knowledgeable than others. LDN is still very much an unknown quantity and whether it gets trialed or not is besides the point - it is currently helping an awful lot of people and even if we don't see improvement we are hearing that progression has been halted. It would be wonderful if it were to be trialed and became readily available to all but I fear that scenario is probably some way into the future and the current discussions about whether the big 'pharmas', universities or research groups will take on the task is pointless unless someone is prepared to actually approach them and ask the question. In the meantime can we at least try and get this group back on track and stop the arguments - they are not helping anybody. No offence intended to anyone - let's be friends!
