How do you feel about melatonin for those suffering from primary-progressive MS? I find that it helps me sleep and my stress levels have been reduced. Stress REALLY has a negative impact on my MS symptoms.

Hi tweener,
I do not have any experience with either taking melatonin or having PPMS. Since it helps you perhaps you could share more information about that for others who are curious. I do agree that keeping stress down seems to be a very important way to keep things on a even keel.

My neurologist at Vanderbilt said that it was okay to use and that he regularly prescribes it. Despite the warnings on the label saying that people with auto-immune disorders (MS is one) shouldn't use it, my guess is that if you have PPMS it's so treatment-resistant that "if it helps you sleep, why not, it won't make things worse."

I am a medical doctor. I was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis in 1995 when i was doing my internship. Since 1999 I started taking herbal treatment. MRI taken in 2001 showed total healing of lesions of spinal column. MRI taken in 2007 shows 70% healing of the brain lesions.
