Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have an appointment in Dec. coming up with my neurologist and was thinking of talking to him about using pot to help my symptoms. The spasms and pain. The only thing I am afraid of is I am sleepy all the time now, I don't need any more help in that area. Does it really help the pain and spasms? And is it a good idea to talk to your neurologist about using pot since in my state as of now it is still not legalized to use medically? Please help me out in this area. My spasms are only getting worse, and the pain is too. I had to have neck surgery. My neck is fused from C3 down to C7. I have pain all the time. According to the surgeon it should be getting better but it has not as of yet. And I have allot of back pain. In my lower back, so much.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi Deb, It is my understanding that a drug derived from Marijuana called Sativax is currently showing promise in the treatment of certain MS symptoms, such as pain and spasticity. In my opinion, however, there are better options available.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 It works great. It is easier for me to walk when I take it. You don't have to smoke it. You can add it to cookies or even eat a fresh bud. Look at a site called tears fo phoenix. It is supposed to have lots of value in helping ms. UCSF reported benefits as many other researchers. Type in a search for ms and marijuana and lots of info. will come up. There is a site called granny storm who has tons of medical research on it. ________________________________ To: mscured Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 8:23:01 PM Subject: Re: pot and ms does it help?  Hi Deb, It is my understanding that a drug derived from Marijuana called Sativax is currently showing promise in the treatment of certain MS symptoms, such as pain and spasticity.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I would talk to your neuro about it as every one I have ever seen in whatever country has mentioned it to me. When I lived in Scotland they said get a trip to Amsterdam and get myself a dealer. Here in Spain my neuro suggested it again so I went for it as it is not illegal to grow a little for your own use here. It has helped no end, partically with spasms and incontinence, and of course relaxation. I find if I overdo it the pain doesn't go, in fact you find yourself concentrating on it so you have to remind yourself to concentrate on say the music or other sounds but at low levels it has helped. What else I USED TO do for pain was turmeric, MSM, spirulina, magnesium oil. Yoga too was a godsend. CCSVI treatment has removed pain 100%. Janet To: mscured From: buttonsndough@...

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hey Deb, I am pretty new to the MS community, but I can say that I smoke everyday, and my symptoms are almost gone. I was given some info to check out (I will give it to ya in a sec), and since starting the regimen I noticed that more of my symptoms went away or highly " calmed down. "  Plus, I have a ton of energy, if I don't take too much the night before. I take a little amount every night before I go to bed, so that I am not sleepy during the day. (I tried taking it in the morning and the evening, but I was dead tired by 3 or 4 pm.) Search for - Run from the cure, the Rick Simpson Story - on youtube. There are 7 videos and they are all worth viewing, but the information is kind of redundant in most of them. The trick with this treatment is getting the dosage right. I asked my neurologist about using pot as a cure, and he didn't agree with it. He said that there have been no studies or research showing its effectiveness. However, every natural/homeopath that I have spoken to, highly recommends it for pain and spasms. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 DMSO gel with 70% DMSO works well for pain. Stronger than that may irritate your skin. > On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 3:58 PM, buttonsndough wrote: > > > > > > > I have an appointment in Dec. coming up with my neurologist and was > > thinking of talking to him about using pot to help my symptoms.
