New here...looking for info.

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I recently came across an article about LDN. My sister has had MS

for about 5 yrs. My friend was just diagnosed with MS a couple

weeks ago along with dealing with her Lupus. These were the reasons

I was searching out info. on things. So, everything I've read

sounds so promising with LDN for MS. My sister cannot tolerate any

of the MS meds. that are supposed to slow the progression of the

disease. The dr's last and final med. they tried was Avonex...the

first she tried was Copaxone. Too many side effects. So she felt

she had to live with the fact her MS is going to progress. Without

the meds she ends up in the hospital about 3 times a year because of

severe exasperations.

So anyway, I am truely amazed with everything I've read about LDN.

Why oh why don't dr's even mention this to their patients? the ones

who have MS that is. I told my sister about it yesterday and am

still reading as much as I can about it. Trying to find info. she

can bring to her dr. or info. she can read that will convince her

this may be the life saver she needs. Also, my friend who was

diagnosed 2 wks ago started Avonex this week. Talk about horrible

side effects that drug gives. She hated it. But wants to believe

her dr. is doing what's best for her...making the right choices for

her. I've also read that LDN helps with lupus. If this could be a

miracle for her as well...helping with both her lupus and now MS.

Where could I find more info. I haven't found anyone say anything

bad about LDN. I've been to their website so I've read all about it

there. I'd like to hear the side effects or the reasons someone

wouldn't try LDN. And why dr's aren't prescribing it for MS as a

key to dealing with patients with MS. My sister wondered if it was

the pharmasudical companies..that maybe LDN was cheap and it would

put the big companies out of business that supply those extremely

expensive drugs to MS patients. Tell me more..Please... )
