I've been doing mmj for about 18 months now, smoking every day. My son grows it for me. I'd like to say it has helped, but of course I won't know unless I quit and my sx get worse. I have not had a relapse since I started smoking regularly. I am also on Copaxone until this month. Again, not sure if the copaxone kept my relapses down, or if the combination does.

I wouldn't worry too much about whether to go with an indica or other variety. I will say it seems to help with some pain management (less spasms, and no RLS), it also helps immensely with the nausea I get as a result of nerve damage.

For some people, edibles work great. I can't take edibles, the taste is awful (think chocolate grass clippings), and I get no relief.

My son has sever fibromyalgia (and possibley MS) and he gets great relief from the cookies and stuff he makes.

Are you familiar with "weedtracker.com"? They get some good discussions going on and there are many on there who have ms or other neuro issues.

Good luck with the trial!
