Could you please give me some reliable links for LDN and do I need my Dr to write a prescription? Then send it to Skips?

I had to do up a "risk assessment" document for my doc before he would rx it, and I've kept a copy of that document c/w further instructions on good LDN links, where to order, etc. I'll send it to you by pm.

Spasticity/spasm pain was very bad for me during that two year period. I was using braces, had a claw hand, and I ached every hour of every day. It was less then a week into LDN that that pain went away completely . . . except when I have to adjust the LDN down for a few weeks at the start of every cold season.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance. I know how tiring it can be, and hope you can get some relief!

Snoopy!
Someone already said, "Everyone has different reactions to it". Which I can only ditto and add that when I smoked some... ok... more than just 'some'... it was a quick fix at best. Percocets (7.5s) still work better for me, last longer and don't make me dizzy.

I really hope you find something that works for you.

Hi LeeAnn,

I know how you feel. I had the same pain in my lower back and legs to the point that Rx'd meds were NOT helping.

I had my college aged son, at the time, talk to one of his friends and I bought 2 grams of MJ for $50. Kind of high I thought but the only frame of reference I have about MJ is when I was in Vice and bought a "lid", one sandwich bag full for $25.

Well, I tried it several times. Found out I couldn't roll a cig for my life, tried a personal water pipe. The results? I just about coughed up a lung. I mean it was terrible. It must have worked because I quickly forgot about my pain and was concentrating on trying NOT to cough up a lung.

To say the least, it didn't do a thing for me and I ended up giving the rest of the bag to my son. Yes, we have a very good and healthy relationship. I know he would smoke in college from time to time and does not at all now. He runs marathons and is very active in marshal arts. (Just in case any of you were wonder what kind of parent I was.)

I don't doubt your a great parent

Craig, you really don't need to cough up a lung, you already have enough medical issues

You didn't do it right.

Seriously, I don't think your a bad parent. Heck, when Jim was out we had to call our son and ask if his gf had any hookups. My son is 21 and I am a good parent too and no we didn't get any from them.

Snoopy, looks like you'll just have to try and see what it does for you. I wish you nothing but luck and being pain free.

yes, when I lived in California, where I had a legal Rx... I used it for leg spasms, and it helped.

but I wouldn't dare use it here, as the punishment is positively medieval, and the prison here is nothing short of barbaric.

Very good point, Kay. Be careful, Snoopy. I heard of a US member on another MS forum who actually did 9 months when he got caught.
