Lilly ,

Dealing with MS is very much a trial and error sort of a thing. What works for some, might not for others. Along those lines, some folks find that their MS symptoms and progression potential respond well to diet changes, nutrient supplements & supports, certain medications, life-style etc...while other folks find that their MS does not.

Add to that the fact that many people with MS, also have been diagnosed with other conditions that mirror or amplify MS symptoms, and it can be very difficult to be certain that a particular tactic is responsible for improvement, remission or stalling of progression. That's one of the things that makes dealing with MS so frustrating. Another is that for a while, something may seem to work, then mysteriously stops working or begins to cause nasty side effects.

I fall into the multiple diagnosis group and have pretty much resorted to symptom control.
To that end, in the medication department, along with LDN, I take Baclofen for spasticity, Ibuprofen for pain & inflammation, Modafinal to combat narcoleptic fatigue and more recently received IVIG for a persistent human parvo infection that causes inflammation in my joints. I take what I need in the minimum amount that will allow the body to move and function.
Doing so doesn't eliminate the symptoms, but helps to make them bearable.

I wish you well with the LDN.

With love, Erika
