As soon as my LDN finally gets here I'm going to start @ 1.5 mg. They for some reason had wrong credit card numbers for me even though they had called and I gave them the correct ones a week and a half ago ( and I sent my script in over 2 weeks ago). Well, they have the correct ones for sure now and in a few days hopefully it'll be here. lol Can you tell I'm an impatient person? Will keep you all updated how I do.

Great news Desinie! I won't feel like the only newbie to LDN. I know you tried it before, I think you said that, but maybe we can help each other, or compare notes or something, ya think?:)

We have the pro's to help us too.
I'll listen to whatever anyone has to say. I'm easy.:D

I only took 3 mg last night and finally slept!! Not all night....I never do....but definitely better than I have been. I don't think the 4.5 mg dosage is for me. Think I'll just stick with what works. :rolleyes:

:Wave-Hello: Still here...just swamped! With the kids on break and finishing the unpacking, it has been busy. We are throwing a little open house on Wednesday night to thank all of the people that helped us move. It's not an easy task to move a family of seven. :rolleyes:

This basically sums up the mess we are in with my husband's construction business going bankrupt: "When God closes a door, He opens another"

I believe that this is all for our good and we will be able to see all of the reasons why as time goes on. We had a wonderful, happy Christmas. The kids were all smiles...thank Heaven for Grandparents! On the bright side - it is much easier to do Christmas when you don't have to worry about shopping! ;)

I too noticed that there was an adjustment period for sleeping with each dose of the LDN. When I started it at 1.5mg in November...it took about 4 nights, same thing when I started the 3.0mg two weeks after that. I am going to bump it to 4.5 this weekend. I am expecting another adjustment period while I get used to it.

I have read the thread and caught myself up. I was very excited to read the story that Cherie posted. I tell everyone I meet about LDN (I'm a natural networker), it's been my best Christmas gift EVER! :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :Dancing-Chilli:

Sorry to hear about the death in your family :hug:, and I hope the stress isn't too much on top of everything else during the season. I get worn out at Xmas time every year, for sure, but at least I CAN accomplish everything that needs to get done. That's much better then I was for years . . . so I'll take it. :)

As far as being more cheerful, this is one improvement that many seem to mention. I've run into a couple of people over the years, both with SPMS, who have tried LDN and their outlook seemed to improve substantially. In both cases they didn't see that LDN was helping (their symptoms) so eventually they went off. I saw their disposition go downhill FAST, and tried to tell them so :eek:. . . but they had a bad disposition :p and weren't going to listen at that point. :eek: :(

LDN has improved my attitude a lot, at least compared to when I was on A/D's and doing very poorly with the MS. I don't know if it was the symptom improvements that made the difference, or if it just had some sort of positive effect on my endorphins, but I am (generally) more cheerful, no matter what the obstacles.

Other's have mentioned how they had trouble getting started through Skips, initially, but I've never heard any complaints once they get the ball rolling. Hopefully you'll see the LDN soon, and start the New Year off in a good way. :)

3.0 is sufficient Kelly, so if that's what works best for you, good!

That's why I really like the liquid; I can adjust it in very small increments easily.

Glad you had a better sleep. :)

Well you survived well, all things considered, Brenda. What a whole lot you have had on your plate!!

What a wonderful attitude you have towards it all too. I know the adjustments you are making must be VERY difficult, but you are right that when one door closes, another opens!

Plan for some down time after all the festivities, won't you? :hug:

Cherie

That's a deal,Lady! :hug: Yes, I did try it before in 2005, but started right off at 3 mg. It was probably too high according to Skip.

It's so nice to hear you all doing okie dokie on LDN..:grouphug: Finding your dose and comfort zone is all part of the process, so hang in there.:)

I'm missing hearing from Frank and Rachael/Twink...Are you guys doing ok or not so good?? Please report in and let us know..:hug::hug:

I still love my LDN.....smooches!

My LDN came today. Going to start out @ 1.5 mg tonight. Wanted you all to know.

Good luck tonight, D! :)

Cherie

Desinie good luck. I hope you sleep well and get good results this time around. :) The cheerleaders are here for us too.
Rah! Rah! :grouphug:

Thanks Sally, Cherie, Desinie and Kitty for the information. I can't make the "THANKS" for this, button work. Is there a trick to it?;) Works sometimes. Hmm

Brenda, I hope your DH has plenty of work in your new area. May each Christmas be brighter for you and your family. :)
Yes, Grandparents are great. Tee hee
