Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 , I would strongly encourage you to go outside the "norm" and set up an appointment/telephone interview with one of the doctors on the list. My husband is a disabled vet and I wrestled with VA docs for months until finally, I decided to color outside of the lines and go with my gut feeling. I am so glad I did. It was a pain to get medical records verifying the MS diagnosis, then getting them sent to Dr in Wisconsin, but well worth the effort. Beginning the first day after taking LDN, my husband walked the length of our hallway unassisted. He has been in a wheelchair for nearly a year! I'm not saying that everyday is like a day without MS, but what I am saying is, it has been an incredible blessing to us. Good health be with you.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 YES YES YES! I wish I had known about LDN years ago. I would still be able to ride my horse, run, and do many other things I just can't do now. With what I've learned in the last week or so if I were diagnosed today with just mild symptoms I'd be looking for an LDN prescription NOW. I heard about it last summer and it sounded too good to be true, so I didn't pursue it. All of the spasticity I'm experiencing now developed AFTER I first learned about LDN but chose to pass it up. I regret not starting it then, but maybe my muscles will loosen up in a while. Vision in my left eye has improved and it doesn't ache all the time anymore. Good luck to you and stay in touch. ----- Original Message ----- From: " noemkat " <noemkat@...> <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 5:16 AM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Would LDN be helpful to me? > I've been lurking for a while now taking everything in that's been > said and visiting websites.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 , I've noticed you've gotten a large response to your recent post " Would LDN be helpful to me? I've had MS for over 20 yrs, and believe it or not I would consider myself one with mild symptoms. That's not because I've been injecting myself with those awful ABCR drugs, I've done it all with alternative treatments. To answer your question, yes find a doc that can write you a perscription. For nothing else but to stop the progression of your disease. Good luck to you, we hope to hear how you're doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that in the UK the neurologists don't think that SPMS reacts to any of the ABC drugs. So I am left with nothing. I have been trying Glyconutrients for about three months now. This is a sugar type dietary thing from the US but so far no good.l I have read many good reports about them but sop far nothing for me.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I would suggest LDN. My experience since November has been positive. I have SPMS and since June of 2001, I have had to use a walker and had to retire from work (I had worked for my local government for over 25 years! The thought of continuing progression of MS was very depressing. LDN is certainly not a miracle drug, but since starting LDN in November, I no longer have the pain that I was experiencing in my right leg or the increased difficulty walking.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I, too, did the Glyconutrition thing. It's supposed to be a cure-all, but it wasn't for me and several others that I know who used it for various problems. It was kind of expensive to not see any results. I have PPMS and need a miracle!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi Pete the CRABS do not work. I even have a quote from an MS Clinic doctor saying after the first year the interferons do not work. This was in an MS magazine and the I turn the page to find out copaxone doesn't work after the second year so don't worry about getting on these drugs. I too have SPMS and I have found the Naltrexone has worked fantastic. I can walk better, no fatigue, no pain. I feel great now. I was using a walker and was on my way to a wheelchair. So don't give up trying to get hold of this drug.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 No, I have Atypical Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) that I'm taking LDN for. Being diabetic too, the Glyconutrients would not be good for me because of the sugar content. Cancer and diabetes both thrive on sugar. Furthermore, I question the benefit to be derived from the Glyconutrients because sugar is hard on the body.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi Pat do you have a family doctor? They seem the most agreeable to prescribe LDN. Even if he prescribes the 50 mg dose you can crush it up or find a compounding pharmacy to do it. Don't give up trying to get it. It is all that works till they find a cure. ----- Original Message ----- From: Noland R.

Stay the course until we can all figure out how to get you LDN. You won't be sorry.

I am trying to gather as information about LDN to make a decision as to whether or not to take it. Dr Lawrence from Cardiff is the only person the UK I have found that seems to be able to supply it. So far my emails to him have been returned.

My experience since November has been positive. I have SPMS and since June of 2001, I have had to use a walker and had to retire from work (I had worked for my local government for over 25 years! The thought of continuing progression of MS was very depressing. LDN is certainly not a miracle drug, but since starting LDN in November, I no longer have the pain that I was experiencing in my right leg or the increased difficulty walking. I am still SPMS but I am not planning for another exacerbation. Check out all the info and decide for yourself. ----- Original Message ----- From: peter SIMPSON Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 5:14 PM low dose naltrexone Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Would LDN be helpful to me? Noland. Have you got MS. What kind? I have SPMS and so far no meds. It appears that in the UK the neurologists don't think that SPMS reacts to any of the ABC drugs. So I am left with nothing. I have been trying Glyconutrients for about three months now. This is a sugar type dietary thing from the US but so far no good.l I have read many good reports about them but sop far nothi ng for me. I am anxious to try anything that might do me some good. -------Original Message------- From: low dose naltrexone Date: 02/16/04 21:53:28 low dose naltrexone Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Would LDN be helpful to me? : I definitely recommend getting on LDN immediately if not sooner. I don't think you will be sorry.
