an update on what's been happening with me:

August 31, 2009

walking very poor.

had two IV steroid (solumedrol) treatments about two weeks ago due to a long

term exacerbation i've been going through. so far i don't see any improvement.

tried the high dose antioxidant course as prescribed by Dr. Lawrence but it

didn't have the desired effect.

also restarted Copaxone even though i am not a big fan of the stuff.

supposedly Copaxone is okay to use along with LDN.

still continue LDN and in fact have increased my dosage varying it between 5 - 7

mgs every night at 10pm. take a 4.5mg capsule and the rest is liquid LDN. this

is MY experiment and do NOT recommend it for anyone. i am basing this increase

on what Elaine and Dr. Zagon have written as they have said up to 10mgs is

safe and effective. i will find out on my own figuring i am an extra large

person and maybe need more LDN in my system.

i have reduced drastically the intake of vitamins and supplements i was taking.

easier on the wallet and maybe less is better. wasn't reaping any obvious

benefit swallowing tons of pills and capsules.

have added dairy products back into my diet and use 2% milk in a protein shake i

consume in the afternoon as a 'pick me up'. i get this protein powder at the

Vitamin Shoppe. very tasty and would like to add a few pounds to my frame. have

also added red meat back into my diet and so far there is no adverse effects

noted. may gradually add wheat back in but so far continue with a gluten free

diet. sugar and soy will stay on my forbidden list.

i am going to physical therapy for the herniated discs in my back. consists

mostly of stretching and i am not optimistic about the results. really need some

sort of pain management program.

i am still a big supporter of LDN but realizing it is not a cure for my problem.

i am thinking because i am a male MS hits us a bit harder than it does females

and i am falling into this category.

i am a fighter and will continue doing so.
