Yeah doctors are very skeptical about prescribing. Considering it has few side effects and is reasonably priced, I would think they would want to help their patients. LDN is not a big ticket drug like the other MS drugs. How much are the average MS drugs anyway?? $3,000-$4,000 a month as compared to about $35 a month. I used to date a pharma rep. and the stuff doctors got for pushing their drugs is insane. If more doctors were willing to prescribe LDN I think the price of MS drugs would be reduced greatly. I refuse to pay all that money for a drug that may or may not reduce relapses. I need a drug that is going to get me through the day.

I just had my phone appt with Dr. S today and I'm about to restart the LDN. To be honest, I haven't noticed that much of a difference without it but I just have that nagging feeling that I ought to be taking it regardless. It's health benefits go far beyond just helping with the MS sx.

Good for you Kell...it can't hurt..

Is Dr. S still doing phone appts all the time or only on certain dates? Someone told me that he was restricting his LDN appts to the first week in every month?? Thanks.

Yep....first week of every month. You still have to call the office to schedule a time, though. I'm relieved he's still doing this even after he retires.

Thanks, I wonder how long he'll keep doing it and if he will write the script for a longer time?

I hope so. If not maybe he can at least refer us to someone else.
