issues

I have been trying to get, first my neuro to prescribe it, then my

PCP and now I recently changed PCP's because this

other doctor is

supposed to have experience with LDN. My first

visit, he didn't see

me, he sent in one of his " co-doctors " to

see me. " She " told me I

couldn't get LDN and implied that if I didn't try

and fail on the

ABCR drugs that I couldn't get it. So far what

I've read tells me

otherwise. I was on Avonex for since June of 2003

but was terribly

miserable. I stopped taking it at the end of

February. I do not

intend to " try " anymore of the ABCR

drugs and I told her so. I am

pushing the issue with my PCP but if he doesn't

change his mind, I

don't know what to do. Does anyone have any

suggestions?

I had the same problem as you and posted asking for info on

pharmacies who dispense LDN in my country. 2 people were kind enough

to email me with their names.

I rang both the pharmacies and as a result felt very comfortable with

1 in particular. I told him neither my GP or neuro would give me a

script for LDN. He suggested that i give my GP his name and phone

number and get her to ring him. (he even gave me his home number)

Failing my GP giving me a script for LDN he will give me the name and

number of a doctor who will rx LDN.

Give that a try.

Most doctors will listen to a pharmacist because they are just so

much more knowledgable on medications.

This pharmacist certainly gave me more info than i knew.

I agree wholeheartedly about the pharmacist carrying some "clout" my regular doctor prescribed L.D.N. for me mainly because he knew the compounding pharmacist personaly. As he said "If Joe is willing to make this then I have no problem with it"

Hi, I just found this list a couple days ago. I have MS and would like to

give LDN a try. My problem is I have no neuro (the only neuro near me

declared me " uncooperative " since I refused to go on the ABC injectable

drugs and blackballed me with all neuro's less than 4 hours away, and I am

too weak to make that trip) and my GP doesn't feel she knows enough to

prescribe it.

So, hows this work? Money is VERY tight here. Doug

In regards to where you say your G.P. didn't know enuf to prescribe it....I agree they don't know enuf so then it is our mission to teach them enuf;That is why we have all this info here on the LDN site and what others say.

I actually had to sell my first doctor on the benefits and lack of side effects I was also going to sign any waver or release of liability form that he wanted but it didn't get that far.

I believe that you are your best advocate for what you need and any doctor worth there salt will listen to your case and make a good decision based on how you present it!
