Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 My wife, , has been taking 4.5 mg since July 2004. She had a somewhat " bad " exacerbation late summer and early autumn, probably due to so many 100-105 degree days and the stress of moving 600 miles. She did IV steroids Oct. 28 - 30 and it was very effective in reversing the exacerbation. She did not take LDN for about a week during and after steroids because, in my opinion, 1000 mg. of solumedrol IV per day for 3 days is probably so immensely more powerful than LDN, why bother? She's back on 4.5 mg since then and doing much, much better.

My neighbor was taking LDN 4.5mg and took IV steroids and the steroids didn't work nor did the LDN work anymore until the steroids were out of her system. She thought she could do both and get an extra boost and instead she lost what she'd gained on LDN until 3 months later after the steroids were out of her system. The only time you need steroids for MS while on LDN is if you are in a bad exacerbation. Some have had the steroids to work while on LDN but so far all I've seen are the ones on 3.0mg LDN. Maybe I've missed somebody. > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
