I'm watching CNN right now; They are talking about "Medical Use Marijuana coming from a vending machine"....Yep, you heard it right. Pop in your cash and out comes weed...

I suppose this will be reported all day since they run it every thirty minutes if you want to look for it....

Used it recreationally for many years, but I found after diagnosis that the paranoia side-effect made my muscle tension worse. I often have an opposite reaction to many drugs than the majority of people do, though.

A friend of mine with advanced MS in Tacoma, WA swore by it for spasticity and neuropathic pain. It's such an individual reaction.

Should you desire to spare your lungs, take butter, add mj, cook over low heat until quite green, strain (if desired), and add the specified quantity of fortified butter to the cookie, brownie or other recipe of your choice (pesto pasta?). Takes about an hour to kick in, but then it kicks like a mule.

Snoopy, did you try it yet??? Huh, Huh, Huh??

I tried it in the past with chemo...

just made me worry that I was throwing up so loud that others might here. so, I was sick AND paranoid. ..wasnt fun.

Sally, nope I haven't tried it yet

Cherie, I plan on being very careful. The use of medicinal MJ is legal in Colorado but there was bust that made the news. I don't remember how many plants were taken but in the end the case was dropped and the MJ plants returned. By then the plants were dead and the couple is now suing.

Janet, I agree. I'm doubting my neuros knowledge in this and at some point I might get a second opinion from my original neuro who dx'd me and who I was still seeing untill last year. I know, why take meds if they are not making a difference.

Hi, Michelle!
I'm not opposed to using MJ I just never thought I would come to a point I would consider it - never say never

I had forgotten about Biofeedback until Greta mentioned it and I do like that idea.

I think right now I am going to let this play out a little longer before deciding. My PCP feels this may or may not be the MS. I have sleep apnea and as it's improved so has some MS symptoms that had become "permanent"

This is a bit OT but I just watched a video on youtube with Mitt Romney talking to a young man with muscular dystrophy about medical marijuana. You have to see it to believe it. Search for Mitt Romney medical marijuana. It's really sad IMHO and gives some insight into him.

Help the ignorant. LDN?

LDN = Low Dose Naltrexone.

There is a current LDN check-in thread. I'm sure anyone who is using LDN can give you more information about it.

Thanks for the plug, Snoopy. Not too many seem to be interested in posting their experiences, though..
Maybe everyone is sick of hearing about it..

I hope you find some relief for your pain, soon..

Snoopy - I saw this article this morning and thought of you. How close are you to Canada? Scotland? LOL.
