Sorry to hear your experiment didn't work out for you. It's like every other drug, works for some and others feel no benefit. At least now you know.

I usually only do a puff or two and then it's out. I aim for relief, not to get high. When I feel the spazzing coming back I hit it with a puff before it hurts.

BTW LA, if you need to get rid of any leftover evidence let me know. :winky:

I've got weird stuff going on tonight.

My right knee (the one I injured a few weeks ago) was really stiff this morning, and kept wanting to go out on me...

A few minutes ago, I got up to go use the potty, and the left leg hurt so bad for about 10 seconds that I couldnt put weight on it and I actually fell over onto the bed. (thankfully I missed the knitting needles, that would not have been pretty) Limped into the bathroom, came back and my leg was fine, didnt have the weird shooting pain going up it that I had a few minutes before.

and tonight, some invisible person keeps stabbing me in the shoulders with a weird shooting pain....had that same shooting pain go across my right hip and stomach last night while walking across a room. I'm guessing these are some spasticity sensations that are a bit more intense than ones I've had before.

and, I cant sleep. The Evil Insomnia Troll must have been here earlier and spiked my non-caffeine Diet Coke with some caffeine or something. My brain is refusing to shut down, even tho the rest of my body is begging it to.

Oh, and the Insomnia Troll's cousin, the Vertigo Troll was here last night. He's apparently got some special remote control hooked up to my 8th cranial nerve and is randomly flipping the dizzy switch to "on", and setting the dizzy settings to just below "medium". At least he's not just sitting there turning it on and off repeatedly. He's only hit me twice with that. I dont think it's been 24hrs yet tho...and the vertigo may be related to the lack of sleep.

I cant wait to see the regular doctor tomorrow. I'm asking for some Ambien or something similar...and asking him to check with the neuro to see if there might be a possibility of some steroids in my future (dont really want to do that tho, so if they can find me an anti-vertigo med that works better than meclizine, that might help)

I'm glad I'm just getting the inconveiniet (argh, I cant spell that word!) relatively minor annoyances and not anything big and scary (yet) But this is really annoying.

I guess there's a lot of suckage in the forum this week for a lot of people symptom-wise.

It's got to be something in the air, or the water, or maybe it's sunspots... There's some mighty powerful MS suckage going around this week.

Snoopy, flashback to youth. I could roll great, now? Don't think I could try now.
Not looking towards MJ now. Don't think it would help unless I was interested in the munchies.

But very sorry it gave you no relief.

i still have bad days but every day used to be a bad day and i was close to suicide- chronic pain is no joke, it is a killer. ......I guess all i am trying to say is that there is usually some relief available for chronic pain, it may take much longer than we want to find the right answer....i would encourage anyone with chronic pain to seek referral to a pain management clinic
