The low down on Low Dose Naltrexone

You are absolutely correct.  Each time an announcement is made regarding the "latest" research, we MSers hope that maybe THIS ONE will make a huge difference, all the while probably staying skeptical about the public relations push.

I have no experience with LDN and only know what others have said.  Some MSers have said that they found no benefit, while others believe that LDN has tremendously halted the progression of their disease.

If someone wants to read the pro-LDN viewpoint, then they should go to LDNers.org which is a grassroots organization made up of dedicated LDN advocates.  I'm happy for those patients which find benefit from LDN, but I'm not giving up my Copaxone anytime soon.

Thanks for discussing this hot topic.

My naturopath recommended this and my pharmacist is able to compound it.  My MS specialist said "it won't hurt you" but told me not to stop taking Copaxone.  I haven't filled the script because I figured it was just another chemical to take since my MS specialist didn't adovcate me taking it in place of the Copaxone.  I am not sure what I think.
