It has now been one month that I have been taking LDN and some of the changes that were listed in my previous post at the two week mark have evened out.

Overall there the most significant improvement has been in cognition, vision and mood.
When I think back to the problems I was having with cognition, it is truly amazing the change that has occurred for now, all aspects of memory and cognitive function is much improved and remains fairly constant; where just two weeks ago it was still fading when fatigue set in.

Vision is better and more often I can use things like the computer without having to enlarge font or take breaks because of blurred vision. I can also read things like newsprint and books, where that was very difficult before without magnification.

With respect to mood, I think a lot of the improvement is because there is less stress and frustration present due to the extra energy that was required to accommodate problems with cognition, vision, coordination, spasticity, pain etc. Thus with the more severe aspects of those symptoms reduced, there is more energy, less fatigue and a great deal less frustration.

So have these improvements been due to the LDN or a remission? I had to find this out for myself, for along with wanting to satisfy my academic curiosity, I also wanted to differentiate between a remission and the effect of LDN. If I could get that information, there was the potential of discontinuing with the LDN if the improvements were due to a remission even if the LDN had fostered it.
Yes, I know that it is not recommended to discontinue LDN from what I have read on this thread, but it is still a drug and I would prefer to not be taking anything if at all possible.
So 3 days ago I stopped the LDN...and resumed taking it yesterday.

In short, I am now of the opinion that the improvements are due to both the LDN and a potential remission; but within the first 24 hours of the first missed dose, I was already having cognitive issues (memory mostly), general incoordination and muscular weakness, visual blurriness and whole body fatigue.

Along with that, an ankle that had become swollen and sore (apparently due to an infection and sprain) three weeks ago, flared up immediately within that 24 hours.
It had begun to improve over the last week, but I am now packing it in ice several times a day and through the night, as well as using a topical anti-inflammatory in an attempt to bring the heat, swelling and pain under control once again.
If these measures don't work more than they have since starting them 2 days ago, I will likely be looking at another round of antibiotics and/or some other form of treatment; as it is difficult and very painful to walk with it.

With love, Erika
