Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 is right. The interferons are incompatible with LDN but Copaxone can be taken with it. I also use both LDN and Copaxone, though I'm looking toward getting off of the Copaxone because I'm sick to death of giving myself shots. I stick needles into other people as a part of my job, but sticking them in my own body is quite another matter..... Vali From: Saberkat7@...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Carol, First thing is you never did say how you were doing on the Copaxone. Either way, I would stop taking the Copaxone when you start the LDN. Knowing how doctors are, if by chance you would really start feeling good, the doctor would just credit the Copaxone if you were stll taking it with the LDN. I have done avonex and copaxone, never did good on them, side affects. Won't even think of doing the others. Been on LDN since last October. Haven't seen the dramactics others have, but feeling better compared to when i was on A & C.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Carol It is OK to keep taking Copaxone along with the LDN. That is the only MS med that is compatible with LDN.
