International LDN Awareness Week eBook - User Control Panel

Even during the past 12 months I can see more improvement both physically and in mymental well-being.When I was first diagnosed with MS I could barely concentrate, however, I cannow work a little from home. During the past few weeks I have type-set a book andprepared it for publishing, and that took about 4-5 hours work each day and requiredgreat concentration to proof-read etc.Last week I travelled to Preston by car from Ireland to promote the book and was ableto cope with quite intense physical and mental strain. I was able to talk to people for 4hours during the book signing and not only did I not find it particularly difficult, I actuallyenjoyed it (which is miraculous). Before starting LDN I didn't enjoy anything because ofconstant tiredness and weakness.My brother and his four young children came to live with my mother and I for a numberof months. I was able to prepare our small house and help look after them - cookmeals and collect them from school etc. This would have been absolutely impossiblebefore starting LDN.My quality of life has improved to such an extent I can say that I enjoy life again (notalways of course because I get very frustrated at not being able to work).I am so convinced about the efficacy of LDN that I tell practically everyone I meet that Ihave MS because most people know someone with MS and this gives me theopportunity to spread the good news of LDN. In fact I have become something of anLDN evangelist. I have helped persuade 5 people to start LDN and they are all findinggreat improvement in their health.I am so grateful for all the work Linda and Dr Bob Lawrence in Wales do to raiseawareness of LDN. I can say that it has changed my life beyond recognition both inlarge and small ways, and if I had my way everyone with MS would automatically beput on LDN.18Claire S, UK1993 - Multiple Sclerosis2005 to present, but with breaks due to cost - LDNI have been taking LDN for 4 years, since 2005, and can confirm that there havedefinitely been improvements with regard progression of my multiple sclerosis.After being diagnosed with MS in 1993 in my early teens, my condition began toprogress slowly with occasional and partial remissions. My ability to walk began todegrade by the time I was around 15yrs old. I was still walking, but the distance I couldwalk was greatly reduced.Produced by LDN Research Trust for International LDN Awareness Week 19-25 October 2009© LDN Research Trust 200944
