What do I do to prepare myself for surgery?

[Guest guest]

Please forgive me if my question has been answered in older posts, but I can't

seem to find it.

I have been taking LDN for 2 years for MS, but I am scheduled for a surgery

unrelated to my MS. I know I will be put out completely for it, so I'm concerned

about what I need to do to prepare myself for the surgery. I know that I will

need to stop taking the LDN before the surgery, but how long before? Also, I

will want to get back on it ASAP. How long should I wait and do I need to do it

slowly (like I did when I first got on LDN)? Any suggestions would be greatly

appreciated.

Heretofore I have recommended a day or two until this morning. A patient was off

LDN for 2 days and did not get any analgesia after a procedure. I now recommend

no less than 1 week.

I too have recommended a day or two before surgery/procedures UNTILL THIS AM.

Got a call from a lady who had a colonoscopy and was given a " bunch " of opiod

analgesics. Nothing helped her pain. The kinetics strong suggest that it should

have worked but it didn't. Now it could have been a metabolism problem, could

have been a specific patient issues, could have been anything. I am now going to

recommend at least one week, just to be sure.
