13Cristina G, UKApril 2003 - Multiple SclerosisMarch 2005 - LDNI am working full-time in the software industry and I have RRMS.My first relapse was Dec 1993, but I was not diagnosed until 10 years later.My second relapse was in March 2003, and in April 2003 I was diagnosed with MS.I then had relapses in Dec 2003, and again in Jan 2005. I started taking LDN in Mar2005, and I have not had any relapses since then. I get tested for vitamin D every 6months and adjust my vitamin D supplements according to the test result.I take various vitamins, supplements, and 4.5mg LDN daily at bedtime. I do someexercises 5 times a week. I do not generally eat wheat and I eat very little pork (I havebeen tested and am sensitive to wheat, pork and cow's milk). I try to minimise myintake of saturated fats and maximise intake of fresh fruit and vegetables. I do notcurrently have any disability and the only symptom remaining from my earlier relapsesis a mild bladder problem - mild urgency and some hesitancy.14Christian C, UK16 Mar 1995 - Multiple Sclerosis29 June 2009 - LDNI don't have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), nor take low dose naltrexone (LDN), I am just awitness to how LDN can change one person with Multiple Sclerosis in two weeks.MS:My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1995 with relapsing-remitting MSand over the first 10 years had many relapses until the MS was re-assessedas secondary progressive. I think it is fair to describe how MS has affected her beforetalking about the results with LDN.She was a very successful businesswoman, and due to the MS, had to cut her careershort and retire due to ill health.MS is different for everyone. What primary symptoms does she experience today?Fatigue, tiredness, incontinence, self-evacuation, memory loss, inability to walk, fidgetyleg (uncontrolled muscle spasms), but the end result is loss of dignity.
