Please take a moment to answer this short survey on LDN:

You can also view the ongoing results to help you with your LDN research. This may also help sway medical opinion so that a clinical trial on LDN & MS gets underway. Researchers like stats!

I have read a lot about the importance of the compounding of, and the filler used in LDN. I was hoping someone could comment on Smith's or other Pharmas that they may use in Ontario.
Thanks,
Alan

Post subject: New to MS - Haven't read about LDN failures - have you? Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 10:12 pm |

I am suppose to pick an ABC or Ribif in 2 days. Diagnosed by MRI 2
weeks ago after bad optical Heuritis attack. Have been reading
everything on Vitmins, Nutrition, exercise, the main stream MS stuff
and came across LDN. Read as much as I could (still can't see well
in left eye).
All I have read so far about LDN sounds almost too good to be true.
Have any of you experienced or heard ...

Hi all,
I've heard from a friend who asked her neuro about starting the LDN treatment the LDN can be hard on the heart. Haven't read this anywhere else, but then I haven't done an in-depth search.
Anyone else out there have more details on this?

Just thought I would share...I went to the LDN website and found a link to contact the website editor.
I emailed him/her "Is it ok to take Avonex & LDN?"
They emailed me back, replying..
Yes. Although many people with MS proceed to get off the Avonex after
they see substantial stabilization (or symptom improvement) on the LDN.
Theoretically, the two drugs tend to act at cross purposes -- the former
tending to suppress the ...

Post subject: When you're on LDN and you have an exacerbation Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2004 3:22 pm |
|
|
I eavesdrop on a few of the LDN boards because I'm very curious about it and the results people have been having. I'm not on it but I don't rule it out as a possibility in the future.
In the last 6 months or so I've noticed that several people have gone through an exacerbation while on the drug and some have been on it for years. I often read that LDN stops the progression ...

Post subject: Is there anyone here from the UK that takes LDN? Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2004 11:05 am |
|

:cry:
Hi all,
After putting a long and detailed case to my GP, he has just phoned to say that he won't be prescribing LDN for me. unless he hears from the local neuro that it's ok.
Since learning of LDN and reading hundreds of case notes about its success, it has been all that has kept me going ...

Have any of you had an MRI done since starting on LDN? While I realize scans alone do not determine if your doing better, it might be helpful to getting a study going and promote LDN if someone had that actual documentation they like.
Also, where could I find out definitive info. on using Avonex & LDN?
Actually, I wouldn't be opposed to switching back to C & doing LDN, if I could find someone ...

Post subject: LDN- Anyone on LDN also on statins or HRT? Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2004 6:54 am |

I am on LDN for one month now and have had positive results.
My legs feel stronger and have more energy.
Since there are MS trials showing positive results with statins or cholesterol drugs (Lipitor, Zocor) and Estriol a female hormone and Testosterone for men, I was wondering if anyone was on them also.
1. Are you on LDN?
2. Are you on a statin?
If so, which one? How long? What dose?
3. For ...
