I love it. I've been on it now for a little over 2 years and I'm very pleased with it.

I still have sx sometimes......and I've had a flare or two.....but I recover from them very quickly and without the need for IVSM or other steroids. To me, that is huge. Steroids weakens our bones so badly. And with us prone to falling that can have devastating outcomes.

The only side effect I experienced with LDN was when I attempted to increase my dosage from 3.0 mg to 4.5 mg. I got spasticity in my legs that kept me awake at night. I went back down to 3.0 and waited a month or two before trying the higher dosage again. It took a few attempts but now I'm on the optimal dosage of 4.5 mg.

Vivid dreams are another common side effect from LDN. Not bad dreams....just colorful and very lifelike. They're very entertaining!

I am so glad I tried LDN. It's very inexpensive (3 month supply for about $50....works out to be about $16 a month).

I feel like I'm doing something positive and proactive in dealing with my MS.
