Its good to see some grounded research on LDN appearing - this is so widely used in Europe for MS by people who can't get the DMD's. Thanks for sharing this info -

Is this just a studying phase for MS use and/or do doctors prescribe this drug for other disease?
I'm sorry if these are stupid questions...but I don't know anything when it comes to treatment, since I've never been DX with anything. I thought I would figure treatment out when I was finally DX with something.
Thanks for the info:)
Thanks for the info. I might give this a try after the first of the year.
Happy Holidays to all!
low dose naltrexone has recently gained significant interest in the scientific community secondary to its glial cell modulating effects - it directly dampens inflammation in the central nervous system by blocking the release of inflammatory mediators (ie. interleukin 1); it's being studied in everything from fibromyalgia to crohn's disease; it makes perfect sense to me that it would have a beneficial effect in multiple sclerosis since inflammation is a hallmark of this disease; LDN is very tolerable with very few side effects (some vivid dreams, some say it causes GI distress) and it can be compounded at certain pharmacies for about 40 dollars a month; sometimes I'm tempted to just try it off-label since it's hard to find a doc to prescribe it ;)
JJ - Fair enough, lol. Guess it is a busy week. :))
Quix, i would love to get my head into this one, its an interesting read but too much too do and no time to do it in, so i'll have to get back to you on this one, sorry!
Cheers......JJ
No one jumped on this. I am surprised. Especially look at the second study which appears to show a neurologic stabilization in PPMS.
