I take the plunge tonight, news at 11.

For those unfamiliar with the medication, it's basically synthetic THC, the good stuff in marijuana.

My employer refuses to cover Sativex under my benefits plan, even at the highest level or on exception. Pain doctor's not impressed, so he's going to bat with them, but in the meantime we're going to try the synthetic (would be nice to have the vaporizer.. maybe eventually, but at $500+ a month, I'd need insurance!).

I've read good things about this stuff, so we'll see how it works for me. I'm supposed to take it at bedtime, which is still a few hours away. Good thing I got in to see him again, as my head pain's been a roaring mess, especially the last few days.

So I'll let you guys know... has anyone else taken this before for pain with MS?
