I am new here and haven't started Low dose Naltrexone

[Guest guest]

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

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.
