Since you mentioned it, I always feel better (will have to pay more attention to numbness) after a good fast breathing aerobic workout. Anyone else? Asked neuro if there's a measurement for endorphines and he said not really. It's experimental at best.

They have done comparisons, I have been told (don't have a link), that show Endorphines count is low in PwMS.

Reporting in....I don't know if it's the LDN or the Prozac, but I have used my last weak little nerve, in the past week or two, with Scooter problems and the Dreaded Repairmen. . AND.....I've survived to tell about it, without a flare. I'm not saying if the repairmen did.

I think I had a little of God's help too.

So, how are you all doing? Any good LDN stories?

Check in...

Hope you got your scooter fixed, Sally.

Nothing new here. Still on the same 4.5 mg. dose of LDN.

I have my semi-annual Neuro appointment tomorrow. He will do the standard "tests", run his keys down the bottom of my foot and check my eyes. Tell me I need to be on Betaseron and say "see you in six months"!

I’ve been doing rather well. The hot weather is losing its grip on me, and I’m trying to convince myself that fall is the perfect time for me to redouble my efforts to take better care of myself.

With all the stress (in-laws dying) of this past summer behind me I have a renewed sense of accomplishment. Gerry is a painting contractor, and this time of year he is really busy, so I have stepped up to handle the details of my in-law’s estate. I haven’t felt this useful in a very long time.

And I have another new project. I’m very excited. When we built our house fifteen years ago we had to take down a lovely but rickety, 100-year-old barn because it was too close to the property line. Now Gerry and I will be replacing that barn with – drum roll – a new barn!



It’ll be my job to make sure it gets done properly. I’ll probably bore you with updates, so be forewarned.

Thanks for the great update, Marion..

Okay I'll try this again. I couldn't get on the last few days.

Marion, I love that barn, it is great. It's also huge. Are you putting your cars in there? Enjoy supervising your new project.

Jappy, that is awful. I'd kick that neuro to the curb. "Don't bother", how can a doctor say that? Does he mean if you got another MS problem he would not treat you because you are on LDN?

Eddie, just keep on exercising, that will help increase your endorphins. Maybe not as well as LDN will do though. My mood is always great since I am on LDN.

Sally, what you are experiencing sounds more like being overwhelmed. That is something we can't help, I get that too. When too many problems/issues hit us at once only fixing the problems or forgetting about them, if minor ones, will help us. I hope things start looking up for you.

Kitty, how was your Neuro appointment? Anything new?-a good one I hope.

With the heat and humidity, I have been so hot even in A/C I still have those burning legs and feet that never seems to go away. I don't sweat so I get red in the face and put cold water on myself very often.

I am so happy the weather is cooling off. Whew! I get out to see family and do some stores now. Sleeping is great with the windows open. Ah, fresh air.
