Enjoy!
Yep, Marion, you are absolutely right!! This drug is great . . . but it can't save us from ourselves. Actually, I have one friend who I've told NOT to go on it, cause I know he'd KILL himself if he realized the benefit of all the extra energy that most of us get.

Another point too though . . . which I have probably said too many times already . . . is that the goal of LDN is to reduce relapses and slow progression. It takes time to see if it is going to work for this purpose, and in my experience it does for most everyone who sticks to it . . . but that is the REAL measure of it's effectiveness. Symptom improvement is just a HUGE bonus!

Glad you are feeling good, Brenda!!
