Adrienne talks about her MS and LDN Journey

Linda: I'd like to introduce Adrienne who has multiple sclerosis and is from England. Welcome, Adrienne. 

Adrienne: Good morning.

Linda: Thank you. I can still remember meeting you. 

Adrienne: Yeah, 

Linda: it was awesome. So when were you diagnosed with MS? 

Adrienne: About 1977, age 27

Linda: A long time ago. How old were you, and how did the diagnosis affect you? 

Adrienne: Well, yeah, I think it's because. I mess up the many talked about and um, it was sort of like a bolt out of the blue, going to see the specialist. You've got MS background. I can’t say 100%. You got it. But 99%, go for lumbar puncture. Yeah. I ended up getting lumbar puncture, which is very painful and it didn’t do anything different. So. It's a bit of a waste of time. 

Linda: And what were your symptoms at that time? 

Adrienne: I was just tripping up, kept tripping over, you know, and I was walking and really the pins and needles in my legs really, slight blurring of vision. So that was when I was 27. Because you've got children, you've got to keep going. 

Linda: Yeah.

So what happened in the years in between finding LDN? 

Adrienne: It just gradually got worse and worse. My brother was 16 months older than me. He died about 5 years ago at age 52. So I was watching him decline and knowing that I was going to decline. Thanks, I didn’t decline.  Hyperbaric treatment. And the LDN

So the LDN has been a most positive contribution to the alleviation. Stop the spasming.  It makes me less likely to fall asleep during the day.  I'm the help to my feet to think more mentally acute has continued.  My feet...

Linda: When? When did you start taking LDN? 

Adrienne: I think 5 or 6 years ago.

Linda: and were you able to get it from your own GP or did you have to get a private prescription? I have a very understanding physician GP who agreed to cannabis also. He said that he might knock sometimes. That kind of bespoke. Yes. Come up with. I forgot his name, but his mom and I had a, um, acquaintance that day, hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

All, so I looked into the information sent by you. He agreed to let me have a go at it.

Linda:  what did you find it did for you initially? Did you have any side effects?

Adrienne: Slight sleep disturbance. Nowadays still happens, but quite mildly. So now, that's fine.  

Linda: How would you sum up what LDN has done for you? 

Adrienne: Well, I'll be honest, give me a, apart from the vaccines, the problems back then didn't get worse and worse. It makes me feel as though I'm contributing a little bit until improving in inverted commerce—my condition. I talk to the undesirable side effects, lethargy, the mental fogginess because all these, medications suggested I've tried by myself, has made possible to have to tell them how it was espousing, tended to send me doo lally

And that wasn't probably in control of my mental capacity. No, that's a horrible feeling. 

Linda: That's a horrible feeling when you don't feel in control mentally, isn't it? 

Adrienne: Because you, you're aware of it. You're aware. Worried about things, stupid things. 

Linda: Oh, I know. 

Adrienne: That has helped you to seem able to go to act without the horrible side effects of the other medication. 

Linda: Yeah. What would you say to other people who have MS who are contemplating trying LDN?

Adrienne: I recommend it, but I must say that being that once or twice I have recommended it, the person than to cross BMI. Yeah. You have nothing to lose by trying it.

Honestly, him today, it works, yeah. Yeah. I would recommend it.  You know, Each person must work out their own, know what's best for them, their own salvation. 

Linda: Well, thank you very much for sharing your story with us. 

Adrienne: Okay. Thank you so much for all the help and assistance you’ve given me over the last five years.
