Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Is it true that you can avoid some of the stiffness and stuff if you use the skin type? Does it work as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the formulation is obtained from Coastal Compounding in Savannah, GA or it may not be correct and absorption could be too slow. You want fast absorption and Coastal Compounding has the correct formula to do just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks . Has no one out there tried this? If not, perhaps the pharmacy folks know how it's been working. > > > > Is it true that you can avoid some of the stiffness and stuff if you > > use the skin type?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 1. it has to be made correctly. 2. >99% of people reporting side effects report vivid dreams, sleep distrubances. 3. we use the aforementioned s/e as gold standard for absorption. I have had an extensive background in transdermals. I believed for the longest time that td LDN was just not the way to go . My friend Larry from the compounder convinced be that I was wrong. Go to someone who knows how to make the td. The folks on the LDN homepage list should be your starting point. skipGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I have tried the transdermal LDN now for 3 weeks. One thing I noticed is that you can sleep better on the cream, but my stiffness is still there. I really felt taking the transdermal cream that it wasn't working right. I wasn't having trouble falling asleep and not dreaming. I switched back to the pills and bingo, no sleep and major league dreams again. I can't prove it, but I feel the transdermal cream doesn't work as good. That's my opinion. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't MS'ers trying the TD LDN an aim and hope to reduce some of the adverse effects of oral LDN? Nice to see that sleep issues have subsided with TD LDN, over time the stiffness may subside and then again it may not, that's why it's called trial. There are many adults using TD LDN with various diseases with success. Who knows, TD LDN may be the answer to someone's insomnia or vivid dream problem...may help one person and not another but one will never know unless they try it. Sort of like trying or not trying LDN, if you don't try LDN you'll never know if it will help you or not. Give update in a few weeks and let us know if the TD LDN is keeping you from progressing like the oral LDN. Do you feel worse on TD LDN, like maybe it's no halting progression?
