I was wondering the same thing. I was diagnosed with MG 2weeks ago after ER visit, but don’t go to see Nuero until Tuesday. At the hospital they ran blood test, but didn’t have results when I left. I’m currently taking 90mg mestinon. (3X day) which isn’t doing much other than keeping my eye from drooping. What questions should I be asking @ appt? Fell like I’m getting no where fast and ready to try something else. My neighbor also was diagnosed with this several yrs ago, but after plasma treatment has gone into remission. Hoping to try that also since I know someone that has worked for.

I am currently trying mmj for chronic pain (neuropathy, Psoriatic Arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine, CRPS) as well as for C-PTSD and for sleep.
Zero migraines. Helps some with pain. Helps with anxiety and c-PTSD. Definitely helps with sleep. I am currently vaping the actual "herb." However, I would like to find a suitable alternative method; no matter what you are told, vaping does release some smoke. I want to be smoke-free. I will be going to the dispensary again soon. DejaVu

I got medical in my state and the RSO oil comes in a syringe and I make my own capsules. Hard to measure. I use tooth pick and buy gel caps to fill. Taken on empty stomach at night for sleep and wake no pain. It is said that it must get to small intestine and not have stomach acid destroy most of the dose. I take smaller dose in am & that kicks in about noon! RSO is Rick Simpson Oil developed in 70’s. If it is medical grade CBD oil, it should work. Lots YouTube videos on making your own! If you can afford! Oh the medicated medical pot lotion is amazing on nerve pIn! It works better than all things I have tried. Last hours! Just for when I am out places or breakthrough pain! I spent a year planning the switch, better to have a plan and it is costly. I quit cable and tightened up bills so I can feel better! As another said start low dose try different strains and mix up strains to maximize dependence! Find your dose. Good to alternate strains if possible, by using tincture or smoke every few weeks or ur own awareness. I had to do a smoke that puts me to sleep, (nothing was working bc of withdrawal I guess -INSOMNIA) one tiny bit, then the RSO does the best sleep. I still use magnesium at bed, Neuroton still, vitamins meditating self hypnosis... The medical pot people should be able to direct you yet took months trial to find my way and will need to adapt as I finish my taper off Tramadol! Hope all find their way! |

So starting off in college I tried marijuana and it may have led me down a path of depression and sleeping issues back in 2005. That led me to today where I am on disability for depression and anxiety.
Fast forward to 2011 where i was at a party and drinking and was offered pot again. I was in a good mood so maybe this time will be different. It was different i had a great night's sleep. So in general today my opinion on pot is YMMV. But when cbd came out in stores i decided to try that. Well, I did have limited success. First I bought gummies which were called Just CBD, for me these gummies worked to relax and a little sedation as well, but not like a chemical sedation but more natural. These were 10 mg each cannabidinol. I also heard on CNN that CBD is metabolized in the liver so it can somehow block absorption of certain medications. So it's not totally harmless as they would have you believe. They did not however help pain. For pain I think the creams/lotions are better. For that I went to Seventh sense in the mall, they had a CBD deep relief cream with arnica and menthol, not sure if it was the menthol but it seemed to work on tired and painful muscles. I also put it on my feet at night like some people put vicks vapor on their feet. So in general Ive had success with CBD, not so much with weed.

I've tried applying CBD oil topically to treat muscle spasms, electric shock sensations, and pins/needles sensations, and it hasn't offered any benefit whatsoever to me (nor has it provided any side effects).
