Frustration At Reticence (was 18 month story)

June 10, 2005

I know how you feel Kathy. There are people on other lists I am on who

are obviously depressed about their neurological conditions but for some

reason I can't fathom won't consider using LDN when a few others of us

on those lists who do (not all) have had success. These are the very

same people who would be at the head of the queue to pay themselves for

some expensive drug with marginal benefits and horrendous side effects

should one become available (there is really nothing currently for our

(non-MS) condition). Either that or they must like people doing things

for them and don't really want to get better!

A woman I used to teach with has Crohn's and her husband has MS severely

enough that he has been in a wheelchair for a year or two - both mid to

late 40's and perfect candidates for LDN you would think. For quite a

while a year or so ago I forwarded on relevant posts from here to them

(no hard sell, just the posts themselves) and when I see her (very

rarely) she intimates that she will follow it up, but I am sure she

won't. I recently found out she has just had breast cancer - even more

reason to try LDN, but am reluctant to even try writing to her again

about it.

Guess some people don't want to be helped or have been brainwashed into

thinking help can only come in the form of expensive drugs that have

nasty side effects. :-(
