Kelly, I am sorry you are dealing with sx from an existing lesion, but happy that you do not have any new lesions. I am still considering LDN and plan on discussing it with my neuro next month at my appointment. Even though I have no experience with LDN, it seems as if one month is not enough time to make a decision as long as you are not dealing with any nasty side effects.

Flute, You are right. None of the CRABs or tysabri are a guarantee against progression. But my problem is that there are no studies at this point that demonstrate that LDN may aid in slowing down the progression of ms or the number of lesions, despite what a few doctors may claim. I really wish there would be more studies, but I understand that there is little incentive for any of the drug companies to sponsor these studies.
