Welcome dragonfly and Buffheart!
I began LDN last August. Neuro said "No," but PCP said, "Couldn't hurt."
What I did was to visit
www.LDN.org and printed off a few pages of info. Then I highlighted some sentences and sat there while the doc read it.
It's definitely worth a try. Sorry about your flare and hospital stay.
There are a few threads pertaining to LDN here. Just click above on the word SEARCH, click TAG SEARCH and find LDN. Good luck to you!
