I'm looking forward to it, and like you said, we'll always have MS, but at least I will be at a comfortable level or not have to worry about liver failure.
The MS will stay, but at least this way it's like charging rent.
Being on the drug was making me feel so defeated, like MS was winning the battle and the war, and that's just not fair.
Thanks again!!!!!

You'll do fine!
Just give it time. It takes several months for your body to adjust. There might be a period of time that you feel worse - at least I did for a few days - but I was told by a trusted friend that was my body adjusting to the healthy things I was giving it and ridding itself of the meds and things I had been putting into it. And she was right! After a few days I began to feel better and probably a month or so later I couldn't believe how much better I felt.
That's not to say I don't still have days where I don't feel good or the MS symptoms don't pop up from time to time. That still happens but it's not at the level it was before. Plus, I feel better overall so dealing with minor setbacks is easier for me.
I just had a flareup of symptoms at the beginning of April and now, just a little more than a month later, I am feeling good again. Normally, when I was on the DMD a flare would last anywhere from 12 - 16 weeks. This last one was right at about 7 weeks. This is where the LDN is so helpful, I believe. So, I still have the challenges sometimes but they're easier to deal with and get through. Plus, I feel like I'm doing something good for my body and helping to keep other illnesses from cropping up.
