I would like to let you know (if you weren't already aware, if you are please ignore) of low dose naltrexone (LDN). While it's certainly not guaranteed to work, for some people it certainly does. I'd highly recommend reading more about it as while LDN is helpful for autoimmune conditions in general, MS particularly has a "higher" rate of success with it. Practical info - please do your own research, don't take my word and speak with your doctor first. I'm just here to make you/anyone else with MS aware of it's existence.

I started ldn 3 days ago. Spent 2 years trying to get a prescription. It’s all the rage on support forums. None of my doctors had heard of it before, so refused to try it. Then found out I could just order online from a doctor. So far very happy with it. Pain levels drastically lower. Energy levels in morning notably higher. Dreams are a bit intense. Supposed to even get better as time goes by.

I'm not sure why I would go with something that isn't guaranteed to work when I can just go on a medicine that has a someone known outcome, which I have done. I pretty well just went on the medicine the doctor recommends, which is one of the drugs the overall medical guidelines here recommend. I have regular MRIs that monitor disease activity, and so far I've had no activity in the years since I started it. The risk of doing something that won't work is too great, honestly. I don't have many day to day symptoms and pretty well do as I please. Disease activity means that I could have a much, much worse daily life. I'd like to keep walking and using my limbs and keep control of my bladder, thank you very much. If the doctor recommends it as part of treatment, I'll do whatever they say. I'm not going to personally worry about it, though. I'd much rather just take a daily pill and go on with life, thank you.
