As I'm new to this group and LDN allow me to give a short background

of myself.

I had my first attack in 1979 and it was a major one where I in very

short time lost all sensation from my feet up to my chest and of my

hands and arms. This sent me to the hospital for about 10 days with

the result that I was sent home on R & R without knowing any more than

that it was possibly a VIRAL infection.

Since that episode I've had 2 or possibly 3 minor attacks and in 1999

it change from a RR to a SP, and in the 7 years since it became a SP

MS my disability has progressed to the point of now using canes. I

use wheelchair or scooter for distance.

I have the all too common symptoms like incontinence, balance,

spasticity, and poor gate.

Now that I've learned of LDN I have a couple of questions that I hope

someone from our group can answer for me:

1) Having read that the optimal dose is 4.5 mg and that people

with spasticity should limit the amount to 3.0 mg I was wondering why

this is?

2) If the symptoms worsen for a while, how long does it

typically last?

3) I'm planning on dissolving half of a 50 mg tablet in 25 ml

water and starting with 3 ml (3 mg) for a week and then increasing it

by .5 mg per week after that until I reach 4.5 mg. Does this sound

like a good idea?

If I get any bad symptoms I will stay at the lower dose until the

symptoms are gone again.

I very much look forward to receiving some good advise and to get

started on my LDN.

Thanks to all
