What a terrible time you are having, Mark.

I know the pain you speak of because I had two very bad spinal lesion attacks. I also remember describing myself as an 90 yr old, non-gendered puddle of PAIN. I feel for you, big time!

It does sound like most of your symptoms are "potentially" attributable to the MS, or could just be from other damage to the spine. I suffered that way for two years, and was going downhill at the same time.

There is no way to know for sure if LDN will work for you unless you try it, but I really wish you would. Call it a miracle or whatever, but this drug has taken virtually ALL of this pain/burning/numbness away. It only works as long as the day, but I take it every day and feel fantastic (relatively speaking). I would never have believed that was possible again, NEVER, but I have actually enjoyed my life for the last year and 1/2, since starting on this drug.

Consider this option, Mark!

Well aren't you a sweety, Mark. But of course we're wonderful...We are the People with MS!!

About LDN...I 've been taking it for 3&1/2 yrs, and it has literally stopped my MS from worsening. I was SPMS when I started it, so I already had some irreverisible nerve damage.

Lady_Express is our LDN PosterChild.. And she is right, as it doesn't work that well for everyone. I've never had chronic pain, but I don't have pain now either.

Endorphins are your natural pain killers, and, if taken as directed, LDN does trick your body into producing more, so I believe Cherie's claim of pain relief. It may work for you and as Cherie says, you won't know untill you try it.

A word of caution. You can take OTC, non-narcotic type pain killers with LDN, but LDN nor your narcotic pain meds will work, if taken together. It also does not work well with immune suppressants/modulators, such as IVSM, Interferons or Chemo.

Good luck to you, Mark, in finding relief for your pain.
