Hi Tante, and welcome to the thread!

I posted very early on in this thread that I knew of others that were taking the interferons and LDN (didn't know about you, but "others"), and have seemed to be successful with the combination:

I know that Dr B didn't recommend it and that had something to do with the way in which the interferons tend to "modulate" through suppression, vs. Copaxone "modulating" through enhancement. I don't know how he arrived at his conclusion, but since he was the guy that discovered the use of LDN for MS, I went along with his theory/recommendation.

I do know they were trialing LDN users on interferon patients . . . but I haven't caught up with those results yet.

I'm glad to hear LDN is working out well for you though, and that you get to hold onto your 'double insurance'.
