The only keywords I can remember for LDN, are:
" DR NANCY KLIMAS. "
If ONLY! If he knew or cared who she was, I wouldn't have a problem! LOL. And what does he do? Well lets put it this way, he hasn't suggested GET. He's a good Dr, just not regarding CFS and all its complexity.
He won't read medical papers, and of course, that is a website. But *I* can read.
So I gleaned many key words/phrases from there. Actually, there was a flier that I might print and hand it to him just in case... It does have good dosing information. But if he won't read it ITS MINE!!!!
Also, yes we do share the same Dr, but I haven't seen him since the company split, so I'm bottom of the barrel. I'm booked end of May..... *sigh* Far too long to wait for LDN if I can get it locally. I'm hoping I might be able to get IVIG through Dr K though. I think my ANA and CellTrend results and bartonella H. qualify me for that. Also for the neck MRI. I've only had xray of my neck. My local Dr DEFINITELY will not do any investigations into either.
So, my brain fog finally lifted and I remembered the key word I was trying for:
Immune modulator.
Also, (from Ginger's link)
1/2 binds to immune cells (other 1/2 to opiate receptors)
Good for autoimmune disease (this is the Dr that has tested my ANA several times so he knows that at least)
Anti tumor (great considering my breast cancer scare from last year)
Used in MS and Parkinsons (he is the one that started my MS investigations)
Anti inflammatory
I will keep digging through Ginger's link, and I will add more key words to this thread in case future people find this thread helpful for convincing doctors.
And to both
@Shoshana and
@Gingergrrl WAVES HI BACK! Thank you both!!
