I'm thinking of talking to the doc about LDN. What sx does it give relief from?
My big things are pain, fatigue, not have brains.

Brain, it helps some people with many things and many with some things and the majority's symptoms lessen and a we have a feeling of well being.
![]() It helps my fatigue but others have said not. It helps to regulate my urinary and bowel problems. It makes me less dizzy and stronger in movement. I wish you much luck, in trying LDN. ![]()

These are the areas I have found have improved since I started LDN:
My balance is much better. Now when I walk I only stagger like I had a couple of drinks. Before you’d swear I drank the better part of a keg. As a result, I don’t use my walker unless I am really going to do a lot of walking. Also I find that I can now close my eyes when I’m rinsing my hair in the shower. My hands don’t tremor as much. In fact they don’t tremor at all most of the time, whereas before LDN I had a constant tremor. I only realized this when I noticed that I had my old handwriting back. Physical movement is easier and smoother. It almost feels like somebody oiled my joints. My general pain level is much improved. I haven't had a bladder problem at all since starting LDN. I have very few days that I feel “knocked out” with fatigue. Before LDN I felt exhausted nearly all the time. Needless to say, I am a very happy LDN camper.

The change of seasons always knocks me for a loop but this year it hasn't been as bad as years prior. I still get fatigued by extreme temps (either hot or cold) but it's at a level I can deal with. LDN has been a wonderful thing for me. No shots, no side effects (except feeling well!), more energy and the cost is less than $15 a month. It just doesn't get any better than this! ![]()

As for the “no brains” part, I know exactly what you mean. Before LDN there were quite a few times that I didn’t trust myself to drive or have much contact with business people. Sometimes I’d realize that I was having a bad day after I left home, and I’d basically just cancel my plans for the day and go home – slowly and carefully. That sort of situation is both alarming and debilitating. I have not “turned tail” and gone home since LDN. I didn’t actually realize it until you wrote about the “no brains” part.
I would encourage you and anybody else with an interest to try LDN. It is a hassle getting squared away with a willing doctor and the special pharmacy, but it is infinitely doable. After all it is inexpensive, and low risk. The worst that can happen is that it doesn’t do much for you. The best that can happen is that you see improvements like I did. I almost think that it is easier to go with one of the “phone consult” doctors that you can read about on the net. That way you just do it, not beg for it. It’s just much less demeaning that way. I know it made me feel like it was my decision, and nobody else’s. |
