Linda Elsegood: I'd like to welcome Deirdre from Ireland who had Parkinson's disease. Welcome to Deirdre.
Deirdre: Thank you.
Linda Elsegood: Could you tell us a bit about your Parkinson's. When it first started and what your symptoms were.
Deirdre: I was diagnosed in 2009 with Parkinson's, but previous to that, I did have symptoms. And I say, I have weakness in my hands, and my legs couldn't write general weakness in my body.
I knew there was something wrong. So in 2009, I was diagnosed after having a cat scan and 2010. and the LDN engineers and they said about it to find out more. And I found a doctor here in Ireland, and he had no problem prescribing LDN in. After going on, the LDN is unbelievable. I started on 3mg and then I haven't done three, I started on I think, and I went down to 4.5. Then after three weeks, I think, four weeks and it made some difference to me.
Linda Elsegood: After the initial good results you had, did they continue?
Deirdre: I haven't progressed in any form or fashion since then. And this hasn't interfered with my marriage, fixing this. I can see how she know, but it certainly helped me unbelievably.
Linda Elsegood: So how do you feel now compared with before you started LDN and nearly normal?
Deirdre: I can rise again. I can walk perfectly down here. I can. The fry can perfect that I couldn't do before because I'm watching, they came to now.
Linda Elsegood: Well, ask how old you are.
Deirdre: I'm 52 now another diagnosis. So how you, you noticed some weakness.
So I went to another stuff.
What would you say to other people with Parkinson's and goodness sake, a try? Nothing to lose whatsoever. The notion is warranted to fear with your medication one way or the other. And all you can do is gain from it.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Deirdre: No, no, that's my bottom line is can't. Do you any harm whatsoever.
