Hi Jenny, welcome to KA! I have learned so much more here from these friends than from doctors. And I agree with you, I can't believe how nice they are!

Trudi, I can't even take tramadol... the only thing I dislike more is pred! Also, the doctor that prescribed the ldn for me told me to be sure to take it with a little food, which I did for two weeks and have since blown off... hope that helps.

Hi Donette.... many many people over on the MS LDN forum report increased stiffness for the first month or so. Which is terrible, but it makes you feel better to know, ya know?

How many of you LDN-ers are also on the NSD/LSD????



Sounds like our own gene sequencing club; LDNNSDLSD
I quit on that after two months... it's the first thing I tried a year ago. It was too hard and the improvement I felt was from eating better for sure, but my joints felt the same. I know, two months not long enough, but there you go.

Alphabeta... thanks for the numbers, I have just ordered all my transcripts from the past ten years and am starting a spread sheet. The best thing I learned from this place is to take charge of my health.

Ankyspon... so nice to 'see' you! Great picture!

ok, my undramatic update; I'm on day 19 on LDN, have been on 4 mg for 9 days. Pain is a little better, but that may just be normal up and down stuff. I have had some killer great moods, when I'm not tired. The overwhelming fatigue is gone, but I am dealing with stopping my Vyvanse (for ADD and the resultant depression).... and am doing well with that. I'm sleeping better than I ever have, which alone is worth it.
I'm not sure when I will/should check my thyroid levels (I'm on 90 grains Armour thyroid a day), probably when it's convenient.
So no dramatic improvement, no bad side effects, no plans to stop.
Let me know how you guys are doing,
