My son says that he has a very high tolerance for alcohol, but he has nothing to compare it to, as he started LDN before he ever decided to drink. (He was diagnosed at age 13.)

But, he doesn't drink often, and he does seem to be able to hold his liquor really well.

It has always been my understanding that LDN should be taken in conjunction with your sleep cycle... When my son first started taking it, he would take it an hour or so before he went to bed for the evening. As he matured (he was only 13 when diagnosed) he started taking it at the same time every ev...

Hello, everyone!

I have been away for quite some time, but I see that I am still listed as a moderator for this forum! I joined this forum years ago, when my son was diagnosed with MS at age 13. He is now 21, just finished up college, and is doing amazingly well. I don't have as much time on my hands as I would like...

Update on Colby

I am so sorry that I haven't been around to fill you in on Colby's progress on LDN. I think of you often, and I guess in this case, no news really IS good news! For those who don't know me, I am the mother of a 19 year old who was diagnosed with a very progressive form of MS at age 13. After 2 years...

My good friend, Cherie just gave me a nudge and told me to get my butt back here and fill you guys in. I have really drifted away from the forums over the past few months, but not for bad reasons! Everyone here has helped me so much in the past, and I never should have left you hanging like this! Co...

My son took his last Rebif injection on a Sunday night, and started the LDN on Tuesday night, when his next injection would have been due. You might ask your doctor or whoever prescribes the LDN about the Cellcept. It could be different with that. Good luck to you in finding someone to prescribe LDN...

I am not the original poster here, but I can surely relate to the conversation! My 17 year old son was diagnosed at age 13. As far as school goes, it has been a long hard battle, but I must admit the school staff has been very cooperative. How old is your son, bluesky? Is he on any treatment? I've b...

If you will pm me, I will give you info on an inexpensive phone consult. I am hesitant to post info on the boards anymore, since there seems to be a question as to what happened with Dr. Scott. Our new neuro agreed to prescribe for Colby, so we are definitely getting somewhere with all of this. Kim

My son did not have seizures on the interferons, but did have a progressive decline in his condition. He also experienced severe problems with cognitive issues. He is now taking Copaxone and LDN, and doing much better. Good luck to you!
