It's good that we can be excited about 'being better than we were' though isn't it?

I think it's like the disease itself; it affects us all differently too. Some people have no numbness or bladder issues, and others have little mobility problems. I think it depends on how much axonal damage there is, and/or whether there is still opportunity for LDN to influence repair/recovery at that point in time.

The goal is to stabilize the disease process though; to slow progression and reduce relapses . . . and it does seem to do that for most everyone.

The ONLY reason I would suggest you don't bump it up now, Kelly, is because you also went off some other drugs at the same time. I started at 3.0mg, and it really wasn't a big deal (a few minor s/t side effects), but I wasn't trying to make any other changes at the same time either.

I think the reason that doctors don't prescribe it initially has more to do with the fact that it hasn't been scientifically proven for MS. The reason for that still comes down to money . . . but a doctor would have to be pretty brave to suggest LDN when there are drugs on the market that have proven to help some of us.

I agree whole-heartedly, and think that applies for what we want as well as what we DON'T want to take. They are way too quick to get us on some pretty scary meds, even try to guilt us into it sometimes, yet will deter us from trying something like this?
