He does have people on LDN. I could have asked for a prescription, and I am sure he would have given it to me. I didn't get the idea that he looks at it as a last ditch effort, rather than a "treatment." He says I don't need a "treatment" now, I need to be "preventative." Kinda like even though I may become depressed at some point, why "treat" it now when I do not need it. Rather, wait until the time comes where it will do me the best good.

At least that is what I took from it.

He also wasn't very impressed with the results from LDN yet. He says there has not been enough studies done to see the real effects of it - BUT, he does give it to pts he treats. He is hoping more studies are done, because it is pretty harmless as far as side-effects, unless pain is an issue, then you have trouble with pain meds working while taking LDN.

I am still reading up on it. I have some literature to give my neuro, because she isn't familiar with a lot of the "other" treatments for MS, so there may be someone she is seeing that could have a good result with it.
