Re: Exacerbations on LDN/Residual Symptoms

My husband has been on LDN almost three years - no new

exaserbations just holding steady. The damage he does have - slight

balance probs, some cognitive probs, he got before he was diagnosed

and onto LDN.

Were as happy as you can be living with MS!!

Hi Jenn,

Good question - I'll be anxious to read the responses as they come

in. It's not much to go on, but my daughter has been on LDN since

October 2006 and has had no new symptoms, exacerbations, or

even " pseudo " exacerbations. She has L'hermittes most all the time as

a residual symptom from when she had a big exacerbation while on

Rebif. A time or two one of the other symptoms she's had in the past

has popped up for a short while then has gone away again, but as I

said, nothing new and nothing that really interferes. She's one of

the lucky ones, the bulk of her symptoms seem to have cleared up. We

pray it stays that way and believe it will! Hope you're doing well.

Hi Jenn,

I was on 3mg of LDN for a month and then just recently upped to

4.5mg. About 3 weeks into my 3mg period, I majorly overexerted

myself cleaning out and reorganizing my garage and ended up having an

exacerbation that lasted for a little over a week. I started on the

4.5mg about 9 days after the onset of the exacerbation and the

morning after I took the first 4.5mg pill, the symptoms were gone.

Learning my physical limits is the hardest thing for me, at this

point. I'm so used to hard physical labor over long periods of time

and I just can't do it anymore. I'm learning to pace myself and

learn patience in accomplishing tasks, but it's a challenge!

Hope this helps,

I totally understand about realizing your limitations -- that is one of the things that I have been working on the last year. It is such a challenge. I had a relapse in late May/early June and I think it was triggered not only by an increased amount of stress in my life (personal relationships and a lot of financial difficulties ,will do that to you) AND by cleaning out my garage! I just worked way too hard, over taxed my muscles and my exhaustion level and I ended up needing to use my cane again for another 7 to 10 days. Very frustrating!! I think as moms (if your a mom) we have even a harder time in that area. There is just always so much to do and not enough hours to get everything done in, ya know? I think learning the word "no" is important, don't you?? Chrisie

So basically, what you are

all saying is DON’T CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE,

right? Sorry couldn’t

resist. So were these new sx or previous symptoms coming

back to say hi?
