Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I have been diagnosed with Secondary Progressive MS. My first onset was at 18 years of age with double vision. Now is some 30 years later. I have been in a wheelchair for about 5 years now. I still work full time and carry on pretty much as normally as possible (driving, shopping, etc) as long as there aren't stairways. I could not tolerate the CRAB drugs (I won't go there). Anyway, I started LDN 5 months ago at 3.0 mg. I was beginning to lose dexterity in my right hand. This would have been a real problem as typing is a mainstay of my job. I am pleased to say that using LDN reversed that trend. I can even " flip people off " again, a gesture I was only able to do with my left hand for several months. This brings up a point. The benefits of this treatment are probably measured in small but significant changes. Here were mine after 3 weeks. I tried to stay very objective and note all changes, even those that didn't seem to be MS related: Increased Right Hand dexterity (to almost normal strength) Less numbness in feet Improved mental attitude, concentration and stamina Increased strength and balance Improved complexion (I have rosacia) Improved continence (dramatic improvement) Fewer episodes of constipation Reduced appetite (feeling full trigger seemed to happen earlier in a meal) Less facial hair growth (I'm female so this is good) Vivid dreaming Protruding eyes have diminished Now at 5 months all of the above have remained except: Improved complexion Increased strength and balance I am going to call my doctor and ask for a 4.5 mg script for my next rx.to see if the two I lost will come back. I am very hopeful about this treatment. Good health to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
