What dosage of LDN are you taking? Old symptoms and damage for that long of a

time may not do well with LDN. Have you developed any new never experienced

symptoms since going on LDN? If LDN has kept you from developing new symptoms

then it is working to keep you from progressing. Your old symptoms where old

scaring is can wax and wane on LDN or you can continue to have difficulty in

those damaged areas even while on LDN depending on how bad the scaring is. Over

time(like years) if LDN has halted your disease progression the body MAY try to

heal on its own those old damaged areas in the brain and spine.

Keep that exercise program up.

If the cost is part of your concern, I think you could cut your cost to less than half your current price if you changed pharmacies. Without digging out the receipt to be sure, I think the cost for my husband's last 4.5 mg order was around $18 for 30 days worth from Skip's Pharmacy in FL (561) 218-0111, (800) 553-7429.
