 Post subject: What time do you take your LDN?
PostPosted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 12:55 pm 
I'm really confused. The doctor said for my son to take his LDN an hour before bedtime, yet I read a posting from someone who works the midnight shift and takes LDN at 1:00 a.m..

My son is just starting LDN this weekend, and his "bedtime" is pretty eratic during summer months out of school. He's 16, very social, and it's hard to set a specific time every night to take it.

How are you ...

 Post subject: LDN Survey: Relapse rate on LDN same as Copaxone
PostPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2004 8:37 am 
Most recent analysis of LDN survey reveals relapse rate of 0.226 for 267 MS patients, or 1 relapse every 5 years. Same as Copaxone!

http://home.earthlink.net/~dflomer/LDN/

The other questions on symptoms are subjective of course, but are informative for LDN users, who want to compare their results to a block of users, broken down by MS type.

I hope these reports help convince anyone you are talking to about LDN, ...

 Post subject: LDN and rebif?
PostPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 1:09 pm 
Can you try out LDN while on interferon beta 1a like rebif? I worry about trying something new and going cold-turkey off a treatment that has been helping (some).

 Post subject: LDN's possible way of action
PostPosted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 4:19 am 
If LDN shows out to be a successful treatment option to MS I think it is interesting to think a little about how LDN might work. As far as I'm concerned todays view of LDN action is a bit weak.

The way in which LDN is doing good to people with MS is described on the internet as " by boosting the immune system".
What kind of research has resulted in these conclusions?
Among many ...

 Post subject: liquid or pill form?
PostPosted: Fri Jun 11, 2004 10:22 am 
Hi,
I started LDN a little over a week ago. I am not sure if I am seeing any results or not.

I have had fewer headaches, but leg pain persists.

Anyway, I take LDN in the liquid form. I read a few places that the pill form is better and vice-versa.

Which do all of you use? Anyone tried both and noticed a difference? I asked my neuro about it and he said that ...

 Post subject: LDN and steroids
PostPosted: Thu Jun 10, 2004 8:31 pm 
I have SPMS. My neuro has given me a prescription for LDN and I've located a compounding pharmacy. In my research on the web I've found one mention (Dr M R Lawrence) of LDN not to be taken with steroids. I've been on Solumdrol 1 GM IV/mo for six months. What does Dr. Bihari have to say about this?

 Post subject: NMSS "Lie" About LDN
PostPosted: Wed May 19, 2004 4:32 pm 
I have read the article on This Is MS accusing the NMSS of lying about low-dose naltrexone. I think the NMSS article is inaccurate for at least some of the reasons This Is MS has listed, but an inaccurate statement is a "mistake" unless there it is intentional. This Is MS presented no evidence that NMSS intentionally misled anyone.

Until such evidence is produced, I think it's going too far to call the NMSS article ...

 Post subject: Can you use LDN while still on Imuran and Prednisone?
PostPosted: Sat May 15, 2004 12:05 pm 
My husband is still on Imuran and is weaning off of Prednisone. He just quit Rebif as it was making him feel terrible - though his MS specialist said it was all in his head. I'm hoping the new neuro will consider Copaxone and LDN, but I'm worried about the Imuran and how long it will take him to finish weaning from Prednisone.

Any ideas or comments will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Debbie
