I know exactly how you feel. My neuro didn't flat out say no, but initially discouraged me from trying LDN. After 5 years on Avonex with a return of flu like symptoms and a short month of Copaxone, I asked for it again. This time it was prescribed. I have been on it for 5 months and have seen some improvement. I'm still working on some minor adjustments (see above posts.)

I would take Cherie's advice and PM her for the link to help convince your doctor to give LDN a try.
