Polar cant they do a mri to see if a lesion is in an area that is damging the tyroid? that was the reason they just did extensive MRI's on me to see if there is a lesion they have missed in an area that might explaing the heart chest pains, at first I thought this was silly but a few on here said they also had mris for same reason and lesion were located. so who knows,,,,,

Curious what are you all taking for Pain, and i dont mean over the counter, my doc hemmed at scriping me any pain, because of LDN, aspirin just dont cut it

hope eveyone has a nice day:hug:

Aleve is pretty good, Frank. I don't have a lot of pain so Asprin is usually fine for me, but on occasion I have had to take an Aleve or two....Deffinately better than Asprin.

I'll have to ask my doctor about the relation of MS and thyroid problems. It never occurred to me that there was a connection between the two. I take Levothyroxine for my thyroid. I just had to increase the dose last month. Gotta go back in December and have my blood checked again.

Frank, I love Aleve. It seems to work better for me than just plain Tylenol. I haven't had to take too much in the way of pain relievers since taking LDN, though. That may change so I do keep Aleve in the house just in case.

OTC Aleve is the same thing as rx Naproxen, but Naproxen is usually rx'd at a much higher dosage. Basically I take 1000 mg of Aleve though, and am monitored by my doctor at that level. I buy it as a rx because it's free then.

It can be hard/dangerous on/for your stomach, especially if you take it longer then a week or so, but I've never had any problem what-so-ever.

I like Aleve as well, but don't take it often as it, like Advil, can be hard on a person's kidneys..Right now, just the occasional Tylenol for pain. Anything prescribed tends to have codeine (sp?) or some narcotic in it, and they make me so sick..I would've been a lousy drug addict.:rolleyes:

The pituitary gland controls the thryroid's output of hormones..I imagine it's the location of the pituitary that would make it difficult to see, though not impossible. Maybe I just need a stronger MRI machine? I don't know. It's possible MS can have something to do with it, but it really doesn't matter as the treatment would be the same..Besides, do lesions show up that deep in the brain?

Good reminder, Polar . . . that we are not supposed to take any of those drugs on LDN anyway (codeine, narcotics).

Naproxen is ok though.

Me three!

When I take Codeine, I have to take Gravol to keep everything down. When I take Gravol, I have to take a heartburn/indigestion pill to tame that . . . and so on, and so on . . .

Codeine was an easy drug for me to avoid when I got on LDN. :D

I'm primarily on dailystrength nowadays, I have my own LDN group, http://dailystrength.org/groups/ldn and keep a SNIPS archive group there too http://dailystrength.org/groups/daily-snips-archives

My dad is on LDN 528 days and doing AWESOME, 1969 for me.

Just got back from 7 Bluegrass Festivals event weeks since June.
