I'd like to introduce Bob from England who takes LDN for multiple sclerosis, and Bob was originally from America. Thank you for joining me, Bob.
Bob: Okay, thank you for calling.
Linda Elsegood: Could you tell me when you first started to notice MS symptoms?
Bob: Uh, it was back in 1999. I was playing tennis. I came off the tennis court and only could walk in the circle, and the guy I was playing tennis with said, you very well should see a doctor about this. So I went and saw my doctor, uh, just changed, and he said, you gotta go for an MRI scan now. So I went for a specialist, 70 frame eye scans. And I came off the scan. He showed me lesions. He said, do you know what you have now? This kind of clown? I said, no. Why do you think I'm here?
He says, you have MS. and I said, what's an MS? I didn't know a thing. He didn't tell me a thing. So I had to go to the library in the town where I live and find out what it's all about. That’s how low I came to be and, uh, was stopped work in 2000. Was all of 50 years old then, and pardon?
Linda Elsegood: Had you had anything throughout your life that you thought was a bit strange that came and went?
No.
Bob: No. I was a, uh, when I was young. Maybe drink too much beer? I don't know. Uh, just, uh, the above up there. This says, this is what you're going to get, and that's what happened.
Linda Elsegood: So how did that impact on your life being diagnosed?
Bob: Terrible. Uh, I went on the half-days for six months at work. I just had to stop and just my side that could, my side, uh, didn't go, but the lights burned my eyes so I couldn't stay in bright light very long, so bad.
I went on a Copaxone trial up in Nottingham, so was, and uh, I was on Copaxone for eight years, cause then they ended the trial. But then the. Copaxone was, it didn’t do me any good. So he said, you're not taking her anymore. So I thought, well, there's gotta be something else. So I started looking at the LDN, and I've been on that for six months now. And at times I notice that I walk around the house on a three-wheeled trolley type thing. And, uh. I forget to use it. So it's slowly, it's not perfect, but it's making my life livable for, until I just, you know, I, it's, it's prolonging the inevitable.
Linda Elsegood: Let’s talk about your symptoms before LDN.
Bob: Um. Some were. I can't walk very well. Uh, I take a nap every day from like say one, one to two, and I have life till about eleven o’clock at night. Otherwise, I couldn't make it.
Linda Elsegood: Mmm.
Bob: It's mainly, you can tell my speech isn’t very good. As you can tell. Uh, it's just.
Uh, walking is basically the main thing I'm really not happy with, but it goes with the territory. It doesn't that a thing. LDN has been, uh. For the price. You crazy enough, try it. You got to try this cause what are they called for? These pills are out now. They are supposed to be some pills off 30 quarter pill that's supposed to be for primary PPRS.
And, uh, Sam Bareburger Rezo there's some pill out, and uh, it's just. It's got to try it. It lives. Yeah. It's helped a little bit. I mean, some mass of, I'm not going to run down the street tomorrow, but it has helped. I believe it's helped.
Linda Elsegood: Yeah. So you've only been on it for six months, so I was, I continued to improve for about 18 months.
Um, I know you said you were primary progressive on secondary progressive.
Bob: Yeah. I got a friend down at the pub that's got secondary progressive and he’s going to try the LDN as well.
Linda Elsegood: So,
Bob: uh, it's, uh, it's getting the word out. It is getting the word out to more people with MS to try this. It might work and it might not, but you gotta give it a try.
Linda Elsegood: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us, and it'd be interesting to hear what your condition is like in a year's time.
