Re: To Skip~ LDN? MS? Itching? Any Relation?

[Guest guest]

Okay I have been on the LDN for 8 months. I get my LDN from you

Skip. haha! I mean why would I start itching now. It isn't all the

time....but does seem worse at nite. And not after I take the LDN

either....but then again I lay down to go to sleep and do itch...but

that could be because I just notice it more, that would be after my

LDN. hmmmmm? It hasn't kept me awake though. But has kept me from

going to sleep as fast. My head itched so bad I thought I must have

lice! ugh! But no! Thank God!

Okay now that I have grossed people out and I have brought a stigma

to myself by mentioning lice....haha! I shall go! Hey the cleaner

you are the more lice like you! I use to work in schools....I know!

Take care All! donna

I mix my 50 mg tabs with distilled water and take with diet soda,

which I would not think would be considered a filler. Maybe I

shouldn't mix with soda, but it tastes like crap if I don't, but I'm

pretty sure it was not an allergic reaction in my case.

Do you have enough omega-3 fatty acids in your diet? (Fish oil). Lack of an an imbalance in EPA and DHA can cause itching.

Before LDN I had bad itching caused by MS. After being on LDN with

lactose filler for 6 months the itching intensified, I also

experienced hot red feet at this time. This intense itching went on

for many months and then died down to my normal bad itching I had

before the LDN.

I think it's the LDN causing the itching. My mom and grandma take LDN

but do not experience the itching but they do not have MS. Maybe it's

those with MS who experience this.

Cyndi, i agree totally. I really don't think it is the LDN and

there are no new supplements. Perhaps it just is. I mean it has

lessened and i am allergy to some things. i just threw it out

there...so anyway...i really appreciate everyones comments. no

problem. this will pass because it isn't as bad already.

thanks all....donna

SKip, thank you for that! if it is suddenly the LDN then i will not

give it up! MS is worse then itching. Slowly I will figure it out.

It seems to be slowing, as far as how often I itch. I cannot recall

any changes in my life as far as soaps, foods, supplements...but like

you said the body could be saying...hey i have had this problem all

along and bam....here i am! Okay...thanks and i will work through

this.

Peace, donna
