Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 My sister has PPMS and she is getting help with the LDN. She has had no new progression of symptoms since she began LDN back in November. I would also go so far as to say that she has also had symptom relief. She no longer runs to the bathroom multiple times during the night. She sleeps for 8 to 9 hours a night, her bowels problems have cleared up. She no longer has muscle spasms in her legs and feet. The numbness/tingling sensation in her feet are gone. She was diagnosed in May 03. She declined extremely rapidly and her doctor told her she had one of the most aggressive forms of MS he had ever seen. She was hospitalized twice in three months. Her results from the LDN were not immediate but she had been on extremely large doses of steroids daily as well as 11 IVs of solumendrol over a 4 month period. It probably took three months on the LDN to see results but that could be because it took that long to get all the steroids out of her system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She only takes LDN, her daily supplements, and a small dose (600 mg/day) of neurotin for neuropathic pain. Maybe its because she started the LDN so soon after her diagnosis (6 months) that she has been helped and her progression has stopped. Debbie Dear Debbie, I have been on steroids too. Mega doses at a time. I could not take Cytoxin because it takes a year before the steroids are out of your system. I looked that up in a drug book.
