I take a narcotic medicine, and I am told by my MD that if I took LDN it would cause my meds to be not effective. LDN is used in high doses to detox folks who take narcotics, or even heroin, as it ties up the receptors that the drug docks into in. Like a plug into an outlet the naltraxone puts a baby safety plug into the receptor, so my meds would be rendored ineffective, and I would have to either do without them, or find alternatives. I have been on low dose morphine for about 10 years, and it has given me my life back after a spinal fracture. I do have an MD that was willing to give me LDN, but told me that I would have to come off the morphine first. So, its a no go for me. Without the morphine, I would be miserable again, and I am not willing to go back to that type of pain, and disability. I called Skips pharmacy after being told that, and they said the same thing. I could try it, but more likely than not, I would be blocking the receptors the morphine needs to do its job.

I have noticed lately I have a huge increase in sx. I have been having bigger, and fatter hot sweats at night. my skin and exzema has gone crazy. I have had a large increase in fatigue, and have been really struggling with dry eyes, dry skin, and weight gain. I havent changed my diet in years, and yet in the past 2 months, I put on 10 pounds. I have had my thyroid checked, and all levels are normal. We are putting it down to the meds. So, maybe my body is trying to tell me its time to stop this mess.

its scary to ride bareback through the MS world. not sure if I am ready for that.
