Subject: Is LDN a hoax?

My wife has been on LDN for almost three months with no improvement. Because of messages posted on this web site, she has tried three different fillers in the hope that that might be the problem. (even though the pharmacist at The Prescription Center said that as long as it's a fast-release filler, one is no better than the next.) Needless to say, she's beginning to get somewhat depressed especially after reading about these miracles which have been happening to others and also after her last telephone consultation with Dr. Scott when he said that most people see an improvement after two months. My wife is also on Copaxone which has stabilized her lesions--no new ones for four years--but has not improved her symptoms. Why should she be on LDN if it's doing no more than the Copaxone? Her neurologist did not want her to try this, and I'm beginning to agree. It seems as though she's just setting herself up for yet another disappointment. Does anyone out there have similar feelings or experiences, or are all of you having miracles happen? Would appreciate any replies.

Dan

It is not a hoax. So many are not reading the LDN website properly. LDN's MAIN purpose is to halt MS progression & if one gets symptom improvement, then that's an added plus. Approx. 2/3 of people on LDN will see symptom improvement -- Brenda, 18:00:35 02/07/04 Sat
