Advice & Tips
Here is an update on my progress with LDN...
I started taking LDN on 9/3/10. I started at 1.5mg for 2 weeks, then 3.0mg for 2 weeks, then 4.5mg.
Overheating
Before---After taking walks in the past, when I got back home I would sit on the couch in the AC and become overwhelmed by a feeling of uselessness that washed over my entire body.
Now--- Now after taking walks the feeling of uselessness isn’t there. I am still unable to function normally due to the heat, but the overwhelming feeling is gone,
Bowel movements
Before--- My bowel movements where normally once every 4 or 5 days
Now--- I am having a bowel movement almost daily
Balance
Before---Always feeling like I was on the verge of falling down or unstable
Now--- I feel like I am more stable and sure footed
Foot Drop
Before--- Having my right foot dropping was just a normal part of getting around for me
Now--- My right foot only drops now to due right leg fatigue or stress / pressure
Toe Touch
Before--- I was just able to stretch to my knees, then spending 5-10 minutes getting to my toes
Now--- After getting out of bed in the morning I can touch my toes almost immediately
Bladder
Before--- Started having problems here in 95. Hesitancy, always feeling like I have to go, not emptying.
After--- Very little has change here unless I drink large quantities of fluids then I am going every 30 minutes. The hesitancy has eased up a little.
Erections
Before--- The only way I had an erection was if I used Viagra, and then only 60-70 percent of the time did Viagra produce results.
Now--- I had morning erections the morning after the first dose. This hasn’t happened since 95!!!! Now Viagra works 80-90 percent of the time. Also, now that I’m at 4.5mg I get normal erections almost daily.
Although these improvements help with daily issues, I am still well aware that I still have MS. Heat, fatigue, dexterity, pressure, stress, daytime sleepiness, brain fog, and the occasional 3-4 day long brick wall where I wonder WTF from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. LDN has done more for me than any other treatment I have ever taken to help with day to day life in dealing with “the monster” I am sorry to report that there have been no vivid dreams.
