a weird fear that the person wont believe that I have MS and will hang up on me when I ask for it.

Sometimes when I try asking a doctor for anything, my mouth gets all weird and the words I'm trying to say dont come out right, and then I end up looking like a nutjob or a drug addict, or something.

I think I'll try calling that doctor this week and see if I can be coherent and get it done already.

I don't see where there'd be a problem with you asking for LDN. It's not a narcotic. It doesn't make you high, or feel any different. The only difference you might feel is less MS symptoms.....and that would be a good thing.

I've asked a few local doctors for it, and they think I'm nuts for asking.

also a bit scared that if I do get a Rx that it wont work for me, and I guess I'm afraid of the potential for being disappointed. I think I'll try calling this week tho to ask for it.
