How long? Since mid-August '03
How many mg's? 4.5 mg

What kind of MS do you have? Hard to say... not RRMS; my neuro
calls it "chronic MS" - maybe it is SPMS. I don't really have
exacerbations, just a slow downhill ride.

though I also started "Dr. Venessa's" Neuro supplements (OTC) at
about the same time. Improved energy level.
Negative changes since/while taking LDN? No
Any relapses while on LDN? No - but I don't have them anyway.
The million dollar question: Will you continue to take it?
I think so - I was on Copax for 2.5 years, and felt like it
wasn't doing a thing. The interferons worry me a bit - my liver is
borderline anyway; it doesn't need "help". Besides - this way, I
don't stick myself with a needle anymore!

Positive changes since/while taking LDN? no progression in 20 months, i smile much more, which led to me planning for my future....crazy. basically, everything has changed for the better...however, still can't dance too well OR wear heels.
Negative changes since/while taking LDN? just trying to explain to other folks the what, how, and why of ldn. no one ever believes me. so i guess the negative points of ldn is frustration. that's about it though...and a bit of stiffness, but that's gone now.

Any relapses while on LDN?
Maybe. After 4 months on LDN which was
compounded at my local pharmacy (I was their only LDN user), I had
some new symptoms. I decided to change pharmacies. I now use The
Compounder in Aurora IL. The symptoms went away within 2 weeks of
changing compounders, and I have had no problems in the last 21
months.
The million dollar question: Will you continue to take it? Absolutely!
