Thanks, Sally & Cherie.

I requested the lowest dosage (1.5 mg.) b/c of something I read about LDN + hypothyroidism (which I take Synthroid for). I'm not worried about liver damage either -- and neither was the doc, but he's just being careful, I guess.


Hey, I just got off the phone with Skip of Skip's pharmacy! He was very friendly and we talked about 5 minutes.

I told him I had MS and wondered aloud why the insurance companies wouldn't be more than happy to pay this tiny amount for LDN, rather than the BIG bucks for Tysabri. He responded that its possible the insurance companies have investments with the drug companies, so it's purely a business interest. Not necessarily what's best for the patient.

He said, "That's why we don't do business with the insurance companies."

I've seen him called "Dr. Skip," so asked if he were a medical doctor. He said, "I'm a Pharmacy DPHD -- I actually earned my degree!"

Not exactly sure what he meant by that, but I thanked him and will wait for the pharmacy to call me once they get the prescription from my doc.
