Here's my understanding of LDN....and please correct me if I'm wrong because Lord knows I've been wrong before!!

All the beneficial side effects we're having are all pluses....some may have them and some may not. I have days where I feel great, some I feel just so so and some I don't want to get out of bed. As long as LDN stops or slows the progression of my MS I'm satisfied whether or not I have the nice side effects. Only my MRI will tell me if this is happening or not. Now, having said that, I can say without a doubt that I've felt better while on LDN. I just don't expect that I'll feel terrific every day - just as I didn't feel terrific every day before I had MS.

But I can always look back and see a common denominator when I feel "off"....like right now I'm lightheaded and dizzy but....I have a sinus infection and I'm taking antibiotics.

I'm going to stick it out for at least a year. I feel like I owe it to myself to give it that much time...otherwise I don't feel like I can make a good decision as to whether it's working for me.

So far so good here.....I hope it stays this way.

Twink, you're a busy lady....I'd be fatigued if I kept your schedule even if I didn't have MS!! I hope you feel better soon!

Frank, you, too. You're busy all the time - and you don't get much sleep....which can make anyone (MS or not) feel sluggish. I know....I'm not a good sleeper either but sometimes I just have to make myself rest even if I don't want to. There's always tomorrow to do the chores left over from today.
