    • About Me

      Dx'ed 1989 RRMS Tried avonex, copaxone, methotrexate, cellcept and tysabri. All with adverse reactions. Taking LDN for 1 yr now. It gave me difficulties, but I stuck with it. Now at the maximum dose I am having success. Out of the w/c, ambulatory with walker. No more fatigue. Leg spasms are gone. Energy level elavated. I still have issues with balance and doing steps. I am a patient person. I will not ever take an immunosuppressant again. Only med I take is detrol LA and low dose naltrexone.

      "A smile costs nothing, but gives much- It takes but a moment, but the memory of it usually lasts forever. None are so rich that can get along without it- And none are so poor but that can be made rich by it. It enriches those who receive, without making poor those who give- It creates sunshine in the home, Fosters good will in business, And is the best antidote for trouble- And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value Unless it is given away. Some people are too busy to give you a smile- Give them one of yours- For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly As he or she who has no more smiles left to give." ~Author Unknown
