Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Jim, I am a newbie that is not taking LDN yet. I have really enjoyed the closeness of this website. I do have mixed feeling in starting LDN but I do feel am getting a good background of info. I would love my gait to improve as well as my overactive bladder. I do not want the mood changes that may happen. I wish I could pick and choose the advantages/disadvantages of LDN. Right now I am without a definite prescribing doctor. I have one that may prescribe and my appointment got cancelled by his office yesterday. But I do want to thank everyone for their chats that I have read! Thanks, -- [low dose naltrexone] question//Blushing?//Off Topic Well thank you very much sweetheart! You, Aletha, & Kathy are going to make it so I won't be able to show myself on the board. My "Macho" image of the Caveman is now all ruined...sigh...trying to 'project' the manly image of the 'tuff' guy, with the solitary attitude of being in my 'Cave' and the one who just grabs the girl and drags her off...sheesh...ruined...sigh. Oh well, I'll have to work really hard to 're-establish' the now 'tarnished' image. hee hee. What really pleases me is, seeing all the new(er) people taking the initiative and reaching out, and helping others. That was what really touched me in the beginning. , , Tom, , LarryGC, SammyJo, Aegis, Kiki, and the list goes on...they all did a really great job in sharing any and all information they had. It's what kept me here. The board in 'evolving?' as it becomes larger. More people, much more information, as we get people with different knowledge of all sorts involved and helping one another. That's what this board is really all about. Hope, and help, sharing, and being willing to listen, plus offer encouragement to those just starting and are where we were in the beginning...scared, and willing to try anything. Been there, done that. Newbies...just stay plugged in, ask questions, there are NO silly questions with this. Above all, read all the information about ldn, and go back over some of the older posts. Lots of info there. My hats off to you ladies, and all the rest who take the time to comment and post ideas and share information. We all Need that. Thank you...All Jim the Caveman..exposed. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 , The mood swings you're referring too are not a common side effect, but it does happen to some. This weekend will mark my 1st month using LDN, and I haven't experienced one mood swing. In fact I'm much happier now. I experienced bad mood swings while taking Avonex and I'm much better now. I wouldn't let the mood swing thought deter you from trying LDN.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 My wife has recently was diagnosed with ppms. She has had symptoms for just over six years. She is 34 y/o and her major symptom is in her right leg. It seems to be progressing more rapidly recently. She is on no medication currently. I was wondering if there are many people with ppms taking ldn, and has it been helpful. We live in Frederick, Md. Also does anyone know of any Dr's in the area who will prescribe ldn. She is being treated by a Dr at Hopkins, I emailed him about the ldn and he has not responded. I appreciate any feedback, pos. or neg.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi , I don't think most people do not have mood swings. I would not worry about that, unless it happens. It was never mentioned as an issue before recently. And once we get on an issue it gets pretty well explored until you think it is bigger than it is. Aletha [low dose naltrexone] question//Blushing?//Off Topic Well thank you very much sweetheart! You, Aletha, & Kathy are going to make it so I won't be able to show myself on the board.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Welcome ! Just keep plugged in to the group. The people here are wonderful, and willing to help. If you don't have the 'welcome' package yet, maybe Aletha would be kind enough to send it to you. She is a real treasure, and has put together an information package that should be of help for you. Questions? Ask and the board will respond! is out there and has a ton of info and experience Bruce is a Cancer survivor and has a 'boatload' of info for that, and the list goes on, with a 'host' of people that have been here much longer than I and much more knowledgeable. :-) Ask away! Jim(aka Cap'n Caveman, and now...Uncle Caveman/Cavie?) <grin> Re: [low dose naltrexone] question//Blushing?//Off Topic Jim, I am a newbie that is not taking LDN yet.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Wes, Tom, Thank you guys! It's nice to 'hear' a friendly voice now and then. Keeps me on the sane side of the line, I think. <grin> Glad to report I'm feeling pretty darned good today. Slept for a full 6 hours last night!!! Been averaging 3 - 3 1/2 hours sleep (literally) since my shoulder surgery the 21st of March...with an occasional nap in the afternoons...maybe...maybe...about 1/2 of the time frame above. House hubby chores are calling...dishes, pick-up/clean-up, broom work, make the wife's bed, plus a 'host' of other 'stuff' that needs completion. Cap'n Caveman to the rescue!!! Unchained, and in Action!!! (coming to a theatre near you) ???? Yes, like Kathy said, I'm 'domesticated' housebroken, caring, affectionate, and any other fabrications you can imagine. Found out one crucial thing...the person doing the cooking...(hee hee)...controls the menu!!! Hey Jim, It's this new hi-tech society that has foiled you. Your image is still intact.........any self respecting cave person knows that the first thing a cave man will do is guard and protect his lair. Regards, Tom Don't sweat it Jim. A real man is confident enough in his masculinity to know the value of kindness and compassion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
