I've recently learned of LDN and am very excited and hopeful about it. I was diagnosed with RRMS in 10/2000. That year (6/2000 - 4/2001) I had 3 bouts of optic neuritis. Since then, nothing until now. Now I am having a MAJOR attack of spasticity, and had trouble getting my doctor engaged. The doc pretty much pushed IV steroids (I had 5 days of Solu-Medrol in fall 2000, and vowed NEVER AGAIN -- plus, the IV didn't get rid of the optic neuritis any faster than the other two non-steroid-treated attacks). So I switched docs, and have an appointment with the new one at the end of the month.I was wondering if anyone can suggest arguments to help persuade my new doc about LDN?THANKS!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Dear , I just went today to talk to my neurologist here in Tucson. I went with Dr. Bihari's resume and the LDN packet from the U.K.. You can find both on the internet. When I first started LDN I had severe spasms in my legs so painful it brought tears to my eyes. I started to take a combo of calcium and Magnesium 500 mgs with my LDN. First two then three, now I take 1 three times a day and 3 at night with my LDN. I have no spasms or stiffness. I also augment this with Astragulus 3x day (thank you Dr. Guillmette) and Melantonin at night. This is what worked for me, hope it helps.
