Hello,

I'm a french 57 years old man, with RRMS since 1992, EDSS about 3 today. I have been taking LDN for a few 3 weeks, and I'm happy to tell you that I feel rather better in my body and in my head. A little bit hope after 13 years without it. Please to pardon the weak quality of my English.

One of my best friend's 31 years old daughter has just started a MS (spasmodic mild palsy in lower limbs, and a huge fatigue). Despite the fact it's her first clinical "attack ? relapse ? !!! vocabulary ?", no doubt about the diagnosis with MRI. Doctors want to expect for remission.

I would like her to have the best very first drug, before the doctors prescribe her the C or any ABR. My own experience of betaseron makes me try to avoid it for anybody, as so long as I'm not acting wrong.

Then, my question is :

Did somebody have LDN for very first drug ?

A little while after having posted this thread, I found one reply to my question on
http://www.thisisms.com/modules.php?nam ... pic&t=1061

That is the reason why I add the followings to my demand :

I'm sure finding testimonies of people having had LDN for very first drug. But the problem still remains the same, i.e. that the doctors wont believe me. Could you e-mail me a scan of any medical recent document that could confirm the diagnosis and your today's state of health ?

My e-mail is : renaudjba@voila.fr

Thaks by advance, and thanks for her

Portez vous bien !

Jean-Baptiste

Hello Jean-Baptiste

We've "connected"in another thread so you may know that LDN is the first and only drug I've taken for MS. I too was diagnosed after just one attack based on MRI results (August '04). I found out about LDN on the internet and took the info to my doctor who (somewhat reluctantly) prescribed it for me. The neuro is kinda ambivalent about what I do (although he was favouring Avonex) and he seems a little skeptical about LDN, but agreed to scheduled another MRI for August '05 which will give me six months on LDN. Based on the results of that MRI I will decide what to do next.

I haven't been on LDN long enough to offer much feedback. I feel no real outward effects from it and at this point I'm just trying to find the dosage that best suits me.

Hope that helps...

Dear Aylish,

thanks for your reply. I dont think it will be enough for the neuros!!

Do not worry, I'll find what I need.

You do not tell me about your symptoms, neither about what LDN has changed in it ?

Hope you feel good.

This is my story from when I first started.. http://www.larrygc.com/mystory will take you there.

I'm coming up on 2 years now and LDN is the only med I've taken in years, other than antiobiotics and Advair 100/50

I had an MRI in an open machine in 1/03, 3 months before I started, and had an MRI in a closed Tesla 1.5 last August. They were identical except for finding a small 7mm lesion that didn't show on the open scans.
