Smoking pot makes me paranoid, so I "think" my symptoms are worse then they are. However, before LDN, using pot was the only way I ever slept or ate . . . so I was using it (very sparingly) anyway.

I haven't drank much in over 5 yrs now, and I used to be able to party with the best of them. I can have a few, but anything more than that and I pay for it for the next week.

I used to be a salt-a-holic, and now I don't care as much about that. I NEVER ate chocolate until the last two years, and now I crave it regularly. I think that has to do with hormones/peri-menopause . . . but it doesn't bother me to eat it. I don't even put on weight when I do . . . and I do often.

Sometimes I think to myself, "Was quitting pot a good idea?". I stopped pretty much after I was through University and was getting into the 'real world' of finding a career. Being 'mature' I guess. Now my mom's almost encouraging the idea of starting it again .

I wonder if I would have ever progressed to an MS diagnosis and various symptoms had I continued smoking. Food for thought.

Cherie, I also got pretty paranoid on it. I had to take it in small doses to avoid the paranoia and be very careful about what 'kind' I was smoking. Some types (and for the life of me, I wouldn't be able to recall the names now) just made me paranoid, period.
