Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Dr. Weeks used to post here on this forum. See below, he might do phone consults. He is very nice and her really wants to know about his clients and what is working for them. He is in Washington State. Bradford S. Weeks, M.D. The Weeks Clinic PO Box 740 6456 S. Central Ave. Whidbey Island Clinton, WA 98236 USA TEL 360-341-2303 FAX 360-341-2313 The Weeks Clinic Dr. Bradford S. Weeks, M.D. http://www.weeksmd.com/ I offer telephone consultations and then prescribe LDN if appropriate. I do this with patients across the country. If that is desirable, I would need to establish a formal patient/doctor relationship which requires for the sake of practicing good medicine: 1) review medical records (what has worked, what hasn't etc.) 2) review past medical history (onset of illness, contributing factors, lifestyle, nutrition, neurovegative symptoms (appetite sleep etc) 3) review current symptoms 4) discuss therapeutic options 5) agree upon a clinical trial and appropriate follow-up.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 MedsMex does not require a prescription. I called Dr Bihari, He charges $500 and $250 for follow-ups. I am on SSI, no can do, so *I* went the MedsMex route...ordered 10 pills yesterday!!!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Myrto, I was dx with MS in October 07. I too went on Rebif for a short time but could not handle the side effects. First I would be concerned as to why after 3 years your doctor is wanting to change your meds. I would also find out if your DR is on any of the drug companies payroll. As far as getting the LDN most of your Holistic doctors are very aware of LDN and its benefits for people who have auto immune related diseases. Crystal in this group has a list of Doctors who will prescribe LDN for you. I recently sent a story to the NMSS. If you would like to read it you can go to : http://tinyurl. com/38ee79 I hope this helps. Amber > > Hi all > > I just wanted to know about your experiences on getting your doctor to > prescribe LDN.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Myrto, I was diagnosed 5 yrs. ago and have been on Copaxone. My neurologist said no, since there isn't any scientific evidence. However, he is starting a research trial using Omega 6. There isn't any scientific evidence that that will work so why not try it. I thought I would like to try thee Tysabri but the more I read about it the more I think there is too much risk and the LDN is much safer. I look forward to taking my LDN where I don't with Copaxone. I found a holistic Dr. from the list to prescribe it. Now my internist said he would after reading the info. Have you asked your internist? If you live in the US I would check with your insurance carrier's list before seeing a new Dr. to see if it will be covered. Mine wasn't but I feel it's worth it. Betty Quote
