Hi Edith,

Sorry, think you mixed me up with Parli who has been using LDN (low dose

naltrexone for those who slept through the first postings on it here).

Parli feels that it is helping her and certainly most people with MS are

finding it to help. I have been on the LDN newsgroup for several weeks

now reading the postings in order to be able to make a fully informed

decision on whether to try it. I am particularly interested in how

people go on it for a year or more to gauge the longer term impact.

After progressing relatively rapidly the first five years my PLS has

basically not progressed for the last five years, so I am not prepared

to do something for short term gain if it may prove to have a negative

impact in the long term. At the moment I am swinging toward trying it

as I don't think it will have longer term negative impact, but I don't

feel a need to rush into anything.
