Re: Multple Sclerosis - Roseann

Hi, Roseann,

I've been using LDN for seven months. I started at 3mg and increased the dose three months later to 4.5mg. For the first 7-10 days I experienced headaches, sleep disturbances and severe fatigue. After that period I began to feel better. Three months after being on LDN I noticed feeling had returned throughout my body (I had been numb for well over a year). I didn't keep a journal with each improvement, but I will say I have more energy, able to walk longer distances with my cane and my upper body strength has improved. Another improvement I almost forgot is bladder function. I no longer have the retention, urgency or occasional incontinence. This is something new I have experienced over the past few weeks.

With that said, I still have vertigo (dizziness), ataxia (difficulty walking) and cognitive fog. I suspect this damage will never be reversed. I'm okay with that. I just want a reprieve from the exacerbations, and that is exactly what LDN has given me. In November I had an MRI done and it showed no new progression.

I hope this helps!

Hello everyoe,

I'd lke to hear from anyone who is already on LDN for MS. What improvements have there been and how long is it before you see these improvements. I start taking LDN next week.
