Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I got my LDN script from my Family Practice Dr. I haven't even been to a Neuro in nearly 5 years. When I did, he/she really didn't help me anyway. I never even felt encouraged by anything that they did. Avonex obviously wasn't the answer for me. I think that I have done just as well without a Neuro. I had to learn and take charge of my own health. It hasn't been easy, but I came to the conclusion that I am the expert where I am concerned. I trust myself more than I trust the 'specialist' who couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything that might actually do some good. If I had known about LDN 5 years ago, I might not be in this wheelchair now. I just wish that LDN was more widely known. My opinion; it's criminal to not try LDN first! Marcie "I just wanted everyone to know that I've been on LDN 1 month. I do feel a difference. My numbness in my hands seem better. I still walk into walls sometimes. I could pick up the bar of soap usually the first time. I still do the copaxone shots every day. I still have fatigue(which I can't wait to go away) My Dr. won't let me give up the Copaxone. Hope this helps! Laurie" Hi Laurie...I totally agree with Harry on this one. You must take charge of your own life. I get so mad when I hear that these doctors are forbidding someone from doing something. I bet that if all these doctors had MS it would be a whole different story. I say that if this is something that you have decided for yourself. Find a doctor that is willing to work with you...good luck.. Oh and you really don't need a neuro to prescribe it. I am no longer seeing any neuros because I came to the realization that I did not need one. I have a wonderful endcronologist that provides anything I might need. I think I was brainwashed into thinking that only a neuro could help me...I was wrong. JoyceF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I'm right there with you Marcie. I haven't had any help yet from a neuro either, but one did give me steroid IV's when I was coming down with a cold making me the sickest I've ever been in my life. I'm so sorry you've had a hard time! ----- Original Message ----- From: marciemjm@... low dose naltrexone Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Hi Laurie...
