I never heard of 2x week. How much doseage are you getting with each shot?

I take it at 10pm which is my bedtime. Dr. Bihari states that it should be taken between 9pm and 3am. He also seems to contradict himself by saying that endorphin production starts at 2am. Seems like you would want the ldn in your system by 2am. Nevertheless, I don't think you have to take it at the...

I hope this isn't illegal. BOSTON -- Although investors sold when Biogen Inc. and Idec Pharmaceuticals Corp. first announced their merger last year, the newly constituted Biogen Idec Inc. is now riding a wave of euphoria. Its stock is up 71% this year, giving it $20.9 billion in market value -- abou...

I had a phone consult with Dr. Patrick Scott in LaCrosse, WI this week. He is very friendly. I did have to send my medical records to him contrary to what I read elsewhere. At first, he asked about my symptoms. He made recommendations for each one I listed. The recommendations were all non-prescript...

I had to learn not to be embarassed of my condition. I can think of many other things I have done that I am more embarrassed about. I did not go announcing it to the world but once word got out, I was glad. Now, people realize that I'm not being rude when I need to back out of plans because of the w...

Naltrexone and beta interferon Advocates of LDN suggest that it does not work when taken in conjunction with beta interferon. There is no scientific basis for t...

Yet another medication that will start clinical trials for MS. This one is already being used for diabetes. There have been alot of advances in therapy in MS since I was diagnosed a year and a half ago. I hope this pace continues for years to come. Here is the article http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_r...

I just got off the phone with MSActive Source. They reassured me that this was not a safety issue. The recall was at the wholesale level. The FDA did not think it was necessary to recall Avonex at the retail or consumer level. It was okay if patient's used the syringes. Biogen did a voluntary recall...

I am going to call my pharmacist today to see what happened. I'm perturbed that since there is a recall, why weren't these boxes recalled? Why did the tainted solution end up in my body? Did BioGen Idec notify them to let them know? It seems like all they did was file the papers with the FDA. I hope...

If you meant to ask me and not Wilson...

I don't know if I had a sickness or if it was the avonex or if it was both. In March and April, I was extremely fatigued, had cold-like symptoms, and had no energy.

Anyway, I do feel better today. I'll see how the week goes.

I just looked at my syringe stash and figured out that the last 2 boxes that I finished had been part of the recall. I wonder if this is why I've been feeling like crap lately. FYI-lot numbers are on the syringes. Here are the recalled lot numbers: Lot Numbers / Expiration Date: P30027 June 2005 P30...
