Re: Questions for getting started (FOR JULIA)

[Guest guest]

HI JULIA,

I AM ONE WEEK INTO USING LDN. MY DR. SAID TO START ON 1.5 MG FOR

A WEEK, 3.0 MG FOR A WEEK , THEN GO TO 4.5 MGS THEREAFTER. HE SAID TO

TAKE IT IN CAPSULE FORM. WELL I DID THAT UNTIL 2 NIGHTS AGO, BEFORE I

SWITCH TO TAKING THE CAPSULES APART AND MAKING THEM INTO LIQUID FORM

AND DRINKING IT. I HAVE SLEPT SOUNDLY UNTIL ABOUT 4 AM EACH MORNING

AINSINCE TAKING THE LIQUID FORM AND I WAKE WITH MUCH ENERGY, AS I CAN

FEEL MY ENDORPHINS HAVE KICKED IN WHILE I GOT SOME WELL NEEDED SOUND

SLEEP. I WAKE UP WITH A SHAKEY FEELING, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT WAS THE

FIRST FEW NIGHTS I TOOK THE CAPSULE FORM. I AM ABLE TO GO BQCK TO

SLEEP UNTIL ABOUT 8 AM THEN I WAKE WITH MUCH VIM AND VIGOR THAT I GET

MORE DONE NOW THAN I HAVE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS (AND I EVEN DO IT ALL

FROM A WHEELCHAIR THAT I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO SINCE JULY DUE TO A

DRASTIC PROGRESSION IN MY MS ). I CAN TELL YOU TAKE I DO WAKE UP A

BIT STIFFER THAN USUAL FROM LIVING WITH MS, BUT NOTHING I AM NOT ABLE

TO HANDLE. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM ABLE TO CONTROL MY BLADDER

MUCH BETTER THAN I WASN'T ABLE TO FOR THE LAST 3 OR 4 YRS. I HAD TO

WEAR A FULL ADULT BRIEF (DIAPER) IN THOSE YEARS, AND NOW SINCE BEING ON

LDN, I DO NOT HAVE TO WEAR THEM ANYMORE!!! JUST A POISE PAD FOR

SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND FOR MYSELF. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL

FREE TO EMAIL ME.

I WISH YOU WELL AND MUCH SUCCESS !

TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS,

TAMMY IN WISCONSIN

Tammy,

Where in Wisconsin do you live? I am your neighbor in Minnesota? Maybe we aren't that far apart. I was going to say maybe we can get together. BUT, the price of gas may hinder that if it to far away from each other. I live in Mankato.

Love to hear from you.

Hugs,
