Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 My son had a very stressful time about 7 months after he started ldn. Now mind you, he was working 2 jobs, going to school full time, (college) getting good grades, and living on his own and paying his own way, except for tuition, and living with some of the biggest slobs you could imagine and was very stressed out in the living situation. He also is not good about watching his diet, he was drinking a little, and still smoking cigarettes. He started to get numbness in his legs and arms a little. He did take the 3 day cortisone treatment after about a month of the symptoms, and was totally healed, and has not had another symptom. If we make it another 4 months or so without any problems, we will be very pleased as he did move back home, is not going to school and not working as much, and feels fabulous. He has had a ms problem, every 9 months so we want to make it past that and we will be thrilled. He loves the ldn, and so do I. Look for stress in your life, and try to get rid of as much as you can!

Conni > =========== Stress and an unhealthy lifestyle can bring on relapses of old symptoms while on LDN and if the stress and unhealthy lifestyle continues it can lead to progression of disease. He's got to realize LDN can only do so much, he has to do his part too. Sort of like when a person gets stents for clogged arteries, continue the unhealthy lifestyle and those stents eventully fail.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi Emiliano, I have MS and have been on LDN for about 4 months. I take 4.5mg and have been on that dosage for almost 2 months. I had one exacerbation during my time taking LDN, but I believe I brought it on myself, by physically overexerting myself one weekend (I cleaned out my garage and REALLY got hot, tired and worn out.) Since I started to take it a little easier and not do so much physical labor at once, I haven't had any more problems. Hope this helps! > > hi all,is there anyone that had ms relapses while on ldn treatment and > if yes how was the recovering. > this is the faq that in italy many friends give me by e-mail daily.so > i decided to submit on this forum the same question. > any infor.is wellcome > my best > emiliano > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi Emiliano. I have had my first relapse after 2.5 years on LDN. Actually, I have caused it, working 2 (and a half) jobs, studying for a post-graduate degree, having ENORMOUS amounts of stress (to the level of having difficulties sleeping), being very badly nutritioned (where to find time to eat a proper home-made meal when working 14 hours a day, resorting to junk!) and developing a chronic throat infection. I am recovering now and I will be recovering for several more months, since the inflammation is still active, despite steroid treatment (which is a no no when on LDN and you should avoid it by trying an alternative protocol with antioxidants). The relapse was quite disabling because it involved a small spinal lesion at a place where can cause much trouble, and can be difficult to be healed. My neuro said the relapse will last some time and the recovery will take even more time. I am not a doctor and I am very far away from being one but my experience has taught me that despite LDN may make you feel like you didn't have MS, you still have it and, if you don't help yourself, LDN will not protect you. And when saying " help yourself " I mostly mean avoiding unhealthy lifestyles and have a life suitable for human beings. Even a healthy person wouldn't have made it working so mach and being that stressed for 9 months continuously. Wish you the best on LDN.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi Stavros Your name sounds Greek, I am Greek too, living in Athens. I would like to communicate with people on LDN in Greece (I haven't been able to reach any till now, do you live in Greece?) in order to exchange information and experience. I have been having MS for 14 years now. It is benign type and I have been able to manage it very well using alternative medicine, diet, supplements and regular exercise. I started LDN 23 days ago and the results are already positive. I am fully convinced that if we exhaust ourselves to death, our problem reappears, no matter the cure, and tries to ruin years of hard work on our health. I am a work-o-holic myself and know what it is like. Very lately have I been able to make (subtle) favorable changes as to my lifestyle and stressfull conditions. Communication with you will be welcome. Take care. Katerina [low dose naltrexone] Re: did anyone have relapses during ldn treatment Hi Emiliano.I have had my first relapse after 2.5 years on LDN.
