It seems to work differently for everyone, Brenda . . . just like all the meds.

For me it helped many symptoms, but I was a LONG way down the MS-track too. I had no expectations when it came to helping my symptoms, so I did look at that as a huge bonus. It may, but isn't necessarily going to help for the specific symptoms you have (and you don't have many yet), but the MAIN goal of LDN to is slow disease progression and reduce relapses.

Everything about this disease is basically "theory" at this point. They don't know what causes it, or why some of us respond to some meds, and others don't. They don't know if we all have the same disease, and they don't know why a person with one "apparent" lesion is totally disabled, and another person with 100 lesions is doing fine. All of the current meds we used are based one of many "theories", but so far none of those drugs have proven to make a lot of difference for the majority of people in the long run.

My decision to go with LDN is a personal one, just like everyone else's to make their choice. I want to feel as good as possible (and I didn't for a few years prior to LDN), I hope to have less relapses (just because I don't like them), and I hope the obvious disease progress to be slower. So far, that's what LDN has done for me, but I'd be happy if all it did was keep me "able" for as long as possible.
