This is hopeful...sort of. My gut is one of the things I am so comfortable with ...compared to my neuropathic blue feet! Of course when I go to the neuro there is a big push for some DMD even though I am on LDN (prescribed by an alternative doc). After 2 yrs on a strict diet and LDN my February MRI...

Do you think it's too soon? My neuro and I are just winging it, so she won't know if I ask her, so I t...
