Oooh, how I love this site: Why, you ask? Because I was reading old posts and discovered how some folks were feeling nauseus/tired and how that related to their low blood sugar.
Since one of my dogs is a diabetic, I used her glucometer to give myself a blood test and it was a tad low (73). So...I finished the box of Christmas candy (2 pieces) and I feel better. So much for New Years resolutions

Hey there, Sally & crew: I am thinking of goiong back down to 1 pill/day as I had no side effectsfrom just one pill. My husband and I have a trip planned to Mexico in less than 2 weeks and I'll need all my energy possible for the journey.

Would there be anything negative to reducing the dosage until after our vacation? When we get back, I will be able to stick out whatever side effects ldn has to give me until they subside Thanks, Deb~

Should hurt or help at 1.5mg. That is just a starter amount. Have a nice vacation..

Hola! I am back from Mexico, I have been back for awhile but I am having a hack of a time getting to the SECOND pill! Once back home, I amped up the dosage to 1.5 pills and WOW! The pain & stifness throughout my neck/shoulders was incredible but I stuck it out, eventually getting to 2 full pills/day with only a minor queezy feeling but NO pain

I plan on staying on just 2 pills/day for at least 3 weeks or more. Do I need to go to 3 pills/day in order to feel any benefit from the drug? I am so happy to have no side effects that I forgot the ldn is supposed to HELP me!I also plan on calling Dr. S. at the end of 3 weeks on 2 pills/day to see what he advises but just was curious what the users think (Sally ?). Gracias y adios! Deb~

Well. I guess my LDN run here will be short but sweet; seems like most of the users just aren't that chatty these days and I'll have to muddle through on my own. Still hoping ldn will help me but after 27 years + w/ MS, I have little expectation. So long...Deb~

I started out with 1.5 mg and worked my way up to 4.5 mg. I think I took the 1.5 dosage for a week, then bumped it up to 3.0 for a week, then 4.5 and stayed with the 4.5 mg. That's what I take now.

I think most of the MSer's are on the main MS forum or The Stumble Inn. Even if we are taking LDN we navigate all over the place. You'll find some LDN discussions on the main MS forum as well.

I am so sorry for not getting back to you sooner, Deb. Please know that this is not a chat room, so we do have time to respond. But still, I understand your disapointment.

LDN is not a miracle worker or a cure, but, if you're lucky, it does seem to make things a bit calmer and it just helps me to feel better (less sick) and stronger. It completely took my dizzyness away and made my MS fatigue a little better. I seem to heal faster, my hair and nails grow faster and stronger. It didn't take my MS away, but does make it a bit easier to endure. Some of that may be placibo, but thay's ok too.

Stay with it. The longer you're on it the better you feel. Keep those endorphines working for you.
