I think you're "right on" about our neuro's wanting to offer us something -- even though they know it probably won't work. Those drugs did nothing for me except to produce horrible side effects where I thought I was going to die! Tried Betaseron for awhile and then Avonex. While on Avonex, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Wonderful.....NOT!!
Then there were the three Novantrone infusions.

Talk about creepy as the bright blue fluid is rushing into the body. That caused the same side effects as the interferons.
The LDN really seems to be slowing down the progression. Like Sally said, it isn't a cure, but if it helps just a little, it's worth it to me until the REAL cure comes along.
Along with your extra time, agate, your body is probably enjoying the vacation from all those "sticks". Take care.......
