Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi gang, I am new with this. I am getting a 30 day script from dr. sullivan today or monday i should get it. I just am wonderiing if since my neurologist will not write a script for me how can i convince my family doctor to write it for me. Otherwise i have to keep paying 5 dollars a minute with dr sullivan over the phone consultations. Please give me some ideas on what i should do or how i can go the cheaper route thru my family doctor and trying to convince her of the good of this medicine. Thanks so much, Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Print off information from the LDN site. Tell your doctor that you understand that it is just anecdotal evidence, but it *has* received enough attention to warrant a trial in those with Crohn's disease. Remind them that it has virtually no side effects, and assure them that you will remain compliant with your other regimens. Try to approach it as a " team " decision between the two of you. If they reamin unwilling, politely inquire about the rationale behind their decision. If they are not willing to at least give it a try; I would seriously consider finding another physician who is more willing to work *with* you. Hope that helps. > Hi gang, I am new with this.
