So often we get the question from newbies, "will my DMD of choice (usually Copaxone, Tysabri, Rebif, Betaseron, Avonex) make me FEEL better". That is always a hard question to answer directly because quite often it may make them "feel" worse in many ways . . . BUT if it works to control the number of relapses they have, ultimately that "feels" better.

With LDN, it does seem to help a number of people with some of their symptoms ... but just like the approved DMD's, we have to remember that is not the goal of utilizing this treatment. Over the long run, if it reduces (or eliminates) relapses, that will make us feel better , and if progression of the disease is limited (or minimal), this will keep us feeling better much longer .

If all we can achieve is those results, it's all good IMHO.
