Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I learned about Low dose Naltrexone from a cousin in Nicaragua. She has other things going on then I do The LDN has helped her, and she thought it might help me with Progressive Relapsing MS. She suggested this list to me as well. I will start with my questions at this time. I am on Copaxone,and several other medications for sleep, pain,HBP, etc. I also take suppliments, such as: fish oil, calcium citra w/D and others. I have heard that narcotics are not allowed while taking LND.The only one I think that I take that may be a narcotic is Lunesta. How do I approach my neurologist about LDN, and convince him to prescribe it for me? I am losing strength on my right dominant side. My hand is weak and tries to curl shut. Istruggle with simple tasks ansd writing. My leg is weak and I have Foot drop. At home I use wals and furniture. I have an AFO brace. At bed I wear a splint on my foot, one on my hand, and another brace on the left for carpel tunnel, because I use my left so much now. My memory isn't as good either. I am bladder incontenent, and have lost my orgasims.I fatigue easily, andam unable to walk or stand long. Outside I use a cane and walk slowly, as my balance isn't good. At the store, I use electric carts. Thanks, Lydia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 If you cannot get your neurologist to prescribe it, like me, there are other sources. The one that we now use, because we visited the clinic in Mexico, is http://www.NaltrexoneRx.com.mx . Since you mentioned Nicaragua, but the site is now in English. You don't need a prescription with that site and the price is reasonable. One 50mg tablet lasts 10-18 days depending on the dose, so 10 tablets is usually enough to get established. By that time, your neurologist will see the difference and might be willing to write a prescription for compounded pills, if you prefer them. My experience is much like the recent post. I felt the positive effects almost immediately. Within a week, I was a new person. Within a month, I was riding a horse, that I had not been able to even visit to feed for several months previous, and I am 62 years old. For me, I was not going to let my uninformed neurologist hold me back (actually I did struggle with her for over a month). I also started, as recommended, at 3 mg and upped it to 4.5 in less than 2 weeks, as I was so pleased with the progress and was in even more of a hurry to get well faster. I have settled at 4mg as an appropriate dose for me. I hope this helps. This is so much information available here on this list and more and more all over the internet.
