One of the obvious disadvantages to not having trials is that it has not proven to be effective for MS . . . however, clearly it has not been "disproven" either. Not sure how he can be so convinced it's placebo, given that.

Either way, since it's harmless enough . . . why not let people be happily living pain-free, without a claw hand, while urinating properly, having semi-regular bowel movements, and with no more cog-fog . . . even if that is just a placebo effect?

Hope your doctor is more open-minded.

I just think that he's one of those doctors that doesnt want to risk anything by Rx-ing me something that he's not comfortable writing a Rx for. I understand that. I'll just ask my regular doctor about it the next time I see him.

My neuro at least had heard about LDN, he just has an opinion that it wouldnt do anything for me. I think that it might help, so I'll just have to ask another doctor.

At least my neuro didnt go off on me about doing research on the internet. He didnt seem offended that I was asking about LDN either. So, I didnt walk out of the office feeling like I'd been reprimanded.

My neuro told me that he thought I was doing better than before. I told him that I'd had a bit of dental work, and that the dentist said that every tooth she's replaced a filling in, had infection in it.

She thought the dental infections might have been having an influence on the MS, and the neuro seemed to agree with that. He told me to get the rest of my teeth fixed up and see if that helps me a bit more.

At least I had a pretty decent neuro exam today. I think he was impressed with my heel-to-toe walking. I was all over the place the last time I did the heel-to-toe, and this time I actually managed a somewhat straight line. So, at least there seemed to be some improvement in the neurological wacky-ness.
