does it get worse before it gets better?

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I started on LDN 3 mgs 4 days ago and have noticed some

worsening of my symptoms eg: Depression, less strengh in my left leg,

greater fatigue ect actually I would say an overall increase in the

existing symptoms .....can anyone tell me if this is normal, is it a

case of it gets worse before it gets better (to be fare I must say

that I have had a rash of emotional and financial problems as well,

which I know makes the MS cycle worse).....

Dr. Bob Lawrence from the UK who has MS & uses LDN himself explains why the

temporary increase in MS symptoms on LDN.

When starting this LDN(Low Dose Naltrexone) therapy in the treatment of MS,

there may also be some initial transient, though temporary, increase in MS

symptoms.

Experience in using this method has demonstrated most commonly, such as

disturbed sleep, occasionally with vivid, bizarre and disturbing dreams,

tiredness, fatigue, spasm and pain. These increased symptoms would not normally

be expected to last more than seven to ten days.

Rarely, other transient symptoms have included more severe pain and spasm,

headache, diarrhea or vomiting. These additional symptoms would appear to be

associated with the previous frequent use of strong analgesics, which

effectively create an addiction and dependency, thus increasing the body's

sensitivity to pain. This temporary increase in symptoms may also perhaps be

explained when we consider the manner in which this drug is expected to work.
