How much did you try, out of curiousity?

It shouldn't have any lasting effects.

Cherie, I had about 7 or 8 hits - I'm fine.

Moose, yep you told me it was a quick fix but just like a kid I needed to find out for myself if it would work

So, for right now I'm just sticking to the Klonopin - at least I know what to expect from it. I usually only use half of a 1mg but I'm going to see if I get any better pain relief from taking the full dose of 1mg.

Thanks everyone

Leeann sorry that it did not help.

My Rheuo. dr. put me on Tramadol (generic for Ultram) to help with
the fibro. and it has helped with some of pain that the ms causes.

I don't know if that will do anything for you. But it might help trying. Talk
to your dr.

I also take lorazepam for my anxiety. So maybe they both help. Instead
of all this darn meds. I wish and pray they would find a cure, just like everyone of my cyper buddies wish.

How are you doing on the Cymbalta? That was a minor miracle for my nerve pain.

I still get break through but better than everyday. I also do Elavil at night tho, too.

Hope the Cymbalta helps you.

I am so sorry it didn't work for you, that sucks. Is this the first time you ever tried mj? Sometimes the first time doesn't do anything. Either way, I do hope you find something to work for you.

Hugs.

LeeAnn, sorry it didn't work out -- and mostly sorry that you still have the pain!! I know it's been a while but the optimist in me hopes it disappears as mysteriously as it came on.

[Snoopy]

Joyce, thank you. I agree a cure would be nice

Sassy, I had only been on Cymbalta a week before I decided the pain was better than the side affects from Cymbalta. It was the second time I had used Cymbalta, the first time wasn't any big deal for side affects but the second time was not good.

Sandy, the last time I used MJ I was 17

Bearygood, I'm also hoping it disappears as mysteriously as it appeared - I haven't given up on that happening

[sugarboo]

Well there ya go snoopy!!! LOL!! When we are 17 9 hits is typical!!!

Maybe a hit or two would do? You must have been stoned out of your mind

Well, at least you got to try it out....I have to agree tho, it makes me dizzy too...but works great for PMS (cramps)....

Take care

Okay, this is how stupidly naive I am...you need to take into consideration that I'm from the Chicago area...
When i first saw the initials MJ, I thought, "Michael Jordan? How could he help with pain?"
So sorry you're having so much trouble with pain...is it the neuropathic kind, the zingers? They take my breath away. They were just about gone when I was on prednisone, but are letting themselves be felt once again.
Again, so sorry...hope you can find relief soon...

OMGAWD! ROTFLMFAO!!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!

[FlyFishin Momma]

okay snoops...lets have a convo about this MJ business okay..........
This past 2 weeks have been probably the worst for pain in my MS lifetime........I am misserable and making all around me just as bad.........
I have tried all the drugs in the med cabnit and still suffering everyday to the point of insanity. (the b word comes to mind)

Now, I happen to have in my nightstand, 2 homegrown wacky smokes..........they have been there since last summer. A family member got them for me.........I have not used them....but been thinking of trying it.

I will not play innocent here. I smoked it some as a teen and younger adult. Not often but some. The last time was about 14 years ago....(I remember that my dd was 2 and thought momma was losing her marbles lol)

I was sitting on the floor leaning against the foot of my then Husbands recliner. I took 2 hits as it was passed around the room. I woke up there covered up the next morning.
XDH said...."you giggled, then slid down the recliner and passed out" huummm did that mean it was good stuff or was I just wore out, or does it just not mix well with me? I dont know but...........

I was not in the pain then that I am now. I am desperate. I am off of my DMD, off the cymbalta and only taking a bp med and my zanaflex. I have ultram and I take them as needed. but they only take the edge off. I have vicodine, they work but only for maybe an hour...then it starts comming back on. I wont take both of those two together.....

The MJ is just sitting there....waiting.........I dont wanna feel loopy or crazy headed. Lord knows I dont need munchie attacks, my colon is on overload right now as it is with spasams,I have spasticity kickin my rear...actually its in the groin and in my left side below rib cage on the side along with my rt hip area and my shoulders and calf in the left leg but the total worst is the neck pain and the never ending headaches.........I am a mess.........

I wanna try it.........I was wondering if you had.I was glad to see this post.........(i think.........)...lol.
Since you did it so bravley......I just dont want an addiction...and I am afraid if it "works" for me....that it may become just that.........
What to do?What to do?
