I can work around that by reducing the LDN for a few weeks, so I am satisfied with that result. It never results in a an all-on attack, like pre-LDN anyway.

If heat is your problem, I'm hoping the change to cooler whether will help your symptoms.

I still have plenty of MS-symptoms on a daily basis ~ things are just WAY better with LDN (for me).

My sx are usually always either dizziness/balance problems or visual problems. Last October my right hand went numb and it is still numb so I'm not sure if that will ever correct itself or not.

The dizziness is better....actually getting a little better each day...but I know it can take months for it to be completely gone.

I've gotten alot of the use back in my right hand, too. I can write now!! It gets tired quicker and if I use it too much it becomes painful but nothing like it was in the beginning.

As the weather cools off I find that my fatigue sx are greatly relieved. Like you I have plenty of "little" sx but with the addition of LDN they are much reduced!
