I've never had MJ in any form.

Me thinks me needs a hit!

the cancer clinic research study is still taking volunteers in the Scottsdale area, it may extend to Phoenix. Not sure.

So if you know anyone here that has MS or any condition in which MMJ may be used as medication, let me know and I will be glad to give you the contact.

The medicine is free, it is also delivered.

And you can quit anytime you want to.

I never did either Sally. I am still driving so I don't want to mess with that.

Just sneeze here and you get pulled over. Camera's on ever corner light pole, intersection and all turns. Hundred's of tickets. Our state is trying to pull in money fast to pay down debt. They raised our property taxes anyway.

Another update.

I tried the lollipop. It was strawberry/banana and it tasted really good. Perhaps too good because although I tried to measure the effect, I ate the whole thing without noticing anything. It took about an hour of digestion and for the next few hours, I felt high.

The high was not overpowering but I am not a fan of mental alteration. That aversion is probably why I am not a fan of alcohol or most pharma drugs.

On the positive side, spasms were minimized and pain in my feet disappeared for a few hours.

In the vaporizer, I tried the purple kush and it is nice. The high part lasts about 20 minutes but the relaxation dosage is good.

Again, no spasms that flex my feet unbearably and lift my leg into the air.

And please do not combine my experiment with the lollipop and the vape of the purple kush. Each dose was on a different day.

Received a call that the caregiver had product for me. Since the MMJ study has not begun, the buds were not delivered. I arranged for a ride to pick them up.

The variety is called pineapple. It does have a cannabis fruity smell.

I am storing the various strains in mason jars. I label them with the name and date I received it.

DH suggested we purchase a second "rope" for the vaporizer. I have one sativa and the rest are indicas. I have only tried the sativa (blue dream) once and I did not make a private notation on my reaction.

Two reasons for no sativa:

1. I have not needed MMJ during the day.

2. I don't feel like cleaning the bowl to try a sativa since the principle time I am vaping is around 6-8 PM while watching TV.

I do eat a small piece of brownie at night. Not sure if it is because of the benefits of MMJ or an excuse to eat chocolate. I read until I am tired.

What am I reading? I am tired of reading history and am giving it a break. I uploaded The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.

The MRI results from last week show mild activity. My first thought was "easy for the radiologist to say, does not feel mild to me."

One of the new sx's is constant nausea/hunger to appease the nausea.

As things move forward, last night was a new experience and unwelcome. Since my fainting spell, I have had waves of nausea wake me up during the night.

It was unpleasant last night around 2 AM. Dry heaving.

Irony is although the vaporizer was ready to turn on, all I wanted was to get back to bed. I thought of vaping, just did not follow through.

This AM after my usual 1/2 cup coffee, DH loaded the bowl with blue dream - sativa. Took a couple draws. DH made me toast w/honey.

Still dealing with nausea sx. MMJ relieves the nausea a bit but the medicine does not last.

Aww Aarcyn, how dreadful! Dry heaving is horrible. I hope the nausea subsides quickly for you.

Cyn, when was the fainting spell and what does Doc think caused it and the ensuing nausea? Feel better soon, please..

Fainting spell was about 3 weeks ago. DH and DS heard me fall and came in. I have total amnesia as to the event. Slurred speech lasted about one hour, so I am told. DH and DD did not think to take me to ER. I was acting happy, drunk and it probably lulled them into thinking putting me to bed and having me sleep was the right choice. When I found out what happened the next night at 11 PM, I waited until the next day. Called doctor and he sent me to ER.

Had an EEG - normal. MRI shows activity.

As to what happened leading to the fall, no one was there...including me (as far as memory!). Proverbial lights were on but no one was home.

After insurance pays, I am confident that our pocketbook will be $500 or so lighter and docs will say, we have no idea, just let us know when it happens again.

I had not had any cannabis during the day nor the evening. Nothing unusual happened. Just the sx of nausea began afterwards and has not abated.

Thanks for the well wishes. Although I will never be at peace with MS, I realize I have no control over the progress. I must say I am flattered that anyone is reading my MMJ thread.

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!

I had similar sx for about 18 months. Finally went to a gastroenterolgist and was dx w/Gastroparesis, or slow digestion. My stomach takes longer than normal to digest, causing the nausea and the weird hunger pains. It caused me to lose a lot of weight, but my gastro got me on Domperidone. You can't get the drug in the US, I get mine from Canada. I have been amazed at its effectiveness, I gained my weight back (slowly) and now I have to drop a few pounds.

Have you had any tests done to get to the cause of your nausea and dry heaves?
