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 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?

thought you needed a hug

Headed out of town to northern California to see family and an old friend from my wild single days.

I am hoping to be able to see the inside of a dispensary at some point, not sure if we will have any time.

I am not sure I will be able to persuade them to let me see the actual thing rather than just the outside waiting room.

I would love to compare it to the compassion club here.

We had a good trip to Northern CA over the weekend. Every minute was filled so there was no time to visit a dispensary. Although I wanted to see one, it was low on the list of things to do.

We did take a couple brownies with us for the night. I ate 1/2 brownie before bedtime, same as always.

I now have two "whips" for the vaporizer. Whips are the tube that heats the bowl on one end and the other end is where the cannabis is inhaled. Not sure if it makes sense as I try to describe it.

The reason for the second whip is really for the bowls. I wanted two bowls because it is easier to use a sativa and an indica without going through the trouble of cleaning it out anytime I want to switch.

So if there is a need to vape during the day, all I have to do is switch whips. Less of a mess.

I have not used a sativa often. I battle pain/discomfort from the MS hug without medicating. But after a few hours of maximum effort, a sativa may be good.

I will have to see how it goes.

The indica is good for the late night interruptions of bathroom breaks at 3-4 AM when getting back into sleep mode cannot be achieved and spasms begin to interfere with being in a prone position in bed.

A couple draws of a vaporizer are quick acting and serve its purpose of relaxation allowing me to sleep a few more hours and wake up naturally.

The marijuana buds I have are lasting a lot longer than I anticipated. I am hoping to have enough to create cannabutter in the future and experiment with making my own edibles from start to finish.

I have a cookbook with sweets. The study is supposedly going to start in September. I have not heard from the cancer center but either way, the caretaker has supplied me with cannabis while everything gets set up.

Just bumping this up so that I do not lose it.

and...I had the results of the EEG and MRI. One "new" lesion but it is considered mild because the lesion is in the gray matter rather than on the cortex.

so no one can diagnose why I fainted/have total memory loss.

Such is the path of MS.

Study has still not begun but it is not an issue. I have plenty of product for vaping, just not to make my own edibles. But the cannabutter was so strong that the brownie pieces I eat at night are literally just a bite.

The bite at night makes sleeping easy.

Negative? I get hungry while I am sleeping!
