I am now convinced that LDN is actually working on at least one of my symptoms.

There are various little aggravating things that a neurological malady inflicts upon your body; yawning, emotional swings, loose bowels, muscles that don't do as they're told, and frequent, sudden, irrepressible urges to urinate.  The urination thing, I've been told, effects women as well as men, and is separate from  the other male urination problem related to the prostate gland.

Three times over the last 4 months I've stopped taking my nightly dose of LDN for a couple of days. Each time the result has been the same, the sudden, frequent, irrepressible urges have returned with a vengeance.

Returning to the nightly dose normalizes things within a day or two.

As far as the other symptoms are concerned I can't say if there is any change... and it really doesn't matter as long as this particular symptom is controlled giving me relief from at least one vexatious problem.

Perhaps the other symptoms will respond over a longer time frame.

Other things I take daily are these supplements; Glutathione, R-Lipoic Acid, and CoQ10,

all of which are alleged to have some beneficial effect as reported by other people with ALS.

All can be ordered online at amazon.com
