Cherie and flutemaker...well thought out responses, thank you. My husband and I came to a lot of the same conclusions over dinner last night.
It seems to me, from my research and many of the responses here, that the main benefit from the LDN is a reduction in the other meds taken for depression, etc. In my mind...that is a good thing for those that need that.
I don't take any other meds and really don't have a lot of pain - minor annoying sensations or numbness - that goes away quickly. My main issue is fatigue, which goes away in between relapses...I have only had three. So it is still a question in my mind...do I need LDN? Will it cause unnecessary side effects?
I guess as I look at the whole picture, if I'm going to take a medicine...LDN seems the most logical and the most aligned with my belief that I need to work "with" my body.
Can I admit to this group? I am still confused and wish someone had the "answer", but then I guess if someone did...we would ALL know.
