Could you tell us which symptoms are relieved with this? Thanks!
Depression headaches helps me sleep helps with my leg arm & eye pain. One of my main symptoms is fatigue so it works great as a extra boost when needed
That’s great that it helps with so many different symptoms.
Good for you 👍. I am so happy that this is working for you 🙏. Wish it was legal here and maybe I would give it a try 🤷🏼♂️. 🙏🐾 Ken
Here in New Jersey it’s legal for medicinal use. I’m registered threw the njmmp.
How much was it for your MMJ card? We're gearing up for applications (just passed legalization), but at $100 for every two years? Yikes!
It cost me 200$ for the card and 100$ for my script every 3 months.
It just seemed insane to me. Now, if I was on Medicare, Medicaid or Soonercare, they've set the price at $20 every two years. What? Oy! The discrepancy!
You ain't lying. since being diagnosed I've lost my job my fiance had a affair I moved out forcing me to miss my children. my apartment burned down during the summer. I was considered homeless so I was forced to get help from the government. Now that I gotta renew my card I'm hoping it'll be cheaper. Tank God I found a job got a new place new car expenses threw the roof let's see wat the future brings
TMI? I Kno I'm just starting to open up and talk about myself more I keep everything bottled up and I don't think it's good for my health sry for venting
U so have to vent. Its better to vent and here people understand.
Nep420, I hear ya! I do Chocolate/Coffe edibles here, sometimes smoke a couple hits, we live in Colorado, so it's legal here!🎵📦💝🎁😍 totally helps my night spacisity, or my restless leg syndrome, & my moods😜 & Pains, i can get alittle bit done
In house & be ok, & major munchies, eat more of my yummy M.S. Diet. I usually do the Dr. mcdougal, or my own organics as my hubby/caregiver is an Herbal Doc. Had to be all his life as he was malnutritioned as a child (evil sisters) twice. & Dic"s said one more time he'd die! So, he took on the granola, herbs & all organics food. Whew! Took me 23 years to get orgnic & M.on.S.terrorist to get me there! Go figure! Sheesh! A disabling disease! We all think, when we're young, we're indispensible! NOT!!!😀😃😄LOL! But we keep truckin on!👍Blessings, Love, & Prayers🙏---Jazmine🌹💜Rose

My neuro complains about my meds, so I told him to give me a script. 🙄😒 He just looked a me🙁🤣😂 it's only legal by script in NY the bast*rds.. 🤣😂🤗💕
J🌠
Texas u cant even get a script for it. Its so conservative here i doubt it ever be legal. I use CBD oil which i was shocked they sold it at my hair place! 😁
That stuff works miracles.Take advantage of it.
I love it! But i use it so much i run out fast.
Oklahoma actually polls higher than Texas in conservative and it passed here. The opposition spent a considerable amount more money against it and it still was unsuccessful. When the truth is begining to come to light and it has the ability to help so many. As long as alcohol, tobacco, addictive pharmaceutical medications (that people arre overdosing on), ho ho cupcakes, Twinkies, McDonald's and any other things that are unhealthy and can cause an addiction to, are kept legal. How do they (our governing bodies) have the right to keep it from the people. I have been in hiding ever since I started using medicinal marijuana for my symptom management as well. It took me from 22 pills a day to 4 or 5. I tried the pharma first and when it was ineffective for me and or bed side effects (almost overdosing several times because I was so messed up I could not remember if I took my medications.) I had to be on home health and it was really bad. When discussed it with my Neuro he said GOOD! My family (which I am the son of a Evangelical minister, it was his suggestion. My grand parents were traveling evangelists. My mother's father was also an Evangelical minister.) Just so you know my background. My entire family is on board with it. Everyone here also would say "it's never going to happen. There has been decades of misinformation and lies. I have been secretive about my use over the past 2 years because I was fearful of retaliation from others.
My fiancé is so dead set against it its unreal. I am sure it wud take care of so many of my symptoms - spasms, insomnia etc - it wud be awesome. If it does become legal here - i dont care what he says. Sign me up!
WOW! Allen tht's amazing they're all for it!👍😃😄😻Blessings--Jazz🌹💜
My primary care physician, my MS Specialist/Neurologist, my faith based therapist at the time, and family all are in agreement on it. My grandparents have all passed on, I was explaining my background. I was involved in the ministry before I could spell ministry. It's something that I wonder about. I struggled with the concept myself at first, then it came to me. The audacity of mankind, to send a message to God "What you have done is wrong, we are going to forbid it." 😔 I'm ashamed, at times, to be human. I know where this world is headed, for it is written. However, when my time comes to stand before God, I don't want to be the one who has to answer the question. "Why did you cause my children to suffer?" I am happy to be forgiven of my past transgressions but there's some stuff that I wouldn't want the responsibility for. I don't know much of anything but I do know the wrath of God isn't something I want to have to face. It's that simple.
You beat me to it with Oklahoma finally passing this thing. I'm still ho-humming over the $100 application fee every 2 years. Guess I better make a decision as they're about to open it up and I kinda' do want to apply. Hmmm...I wonder if I can write it off as a medical expense on my taxes? I know the answer to this question. It's a big fat nope. The next question is how quickly will any of my doctors submit their applications as a scrip writer? Again, I'm going to surmise pretty darn quickly. My neuro is a patient pleaser, within reason. Enough patients ask for it and he sees no harm, he'll sign up.
I am fortunate that I have the doctors I do. Doctors who listen to their patients. They also have personally witnessed the positive impact on me personally. I was in really bad shape. I have heard from my doctors staff how happy they were to see me doing better for "we have all been very concerned about you, were so happy to see you doing better." Even tried changing up my medications to go another route due to financial strain on the out of pocket for my madicinals. I stopped for a time without any addiction like side effects. I've had more side effects of withdraw from excedrin. Anyhow, going through the process I started losing more muscle control, spasticity off the charts again. So I went back to it once again. I would also like to say i consult my doctor on all matters. Yes the 100.00 is a bit steep for the license. I will be in the Medicare/Medicade price for the license. MS has left me pretty much financially challenged. As my resources depleted then the help increases. You have to pretty much have nothing left until they step in. I did really pretty well for myself in life, MS stole that as well. Even 25.00 is a struggle to come up with, but I manage. Hopefully, one day, when its finally approved by the FDA, then it can be a tax deductible item. Maybe even have to be covered under insurance medications because that's what it is. I think as more cases come open and people begin to understand its positive effects that things will change. They are beginning to now. Canada has passed it Nationwide. The truth is becoming evident.
Nep420, I have recently started to use the CBD oil and it does seem beneficial for several things including my spasticity and my sleeping. I don't think smoking marijuana will ever be for me since I didn't even do it in college. I have asthma and the smoke would definitely make it very unhappy. Glad it's working for you but it's simply not for me. Thanks for sharing. Fancy.
Edibles are a great way to face the situation with a calming sedation. Not overpowering when used as directed and as an added bonus everything under the sun is edible!
Edibles are the way to go....helps spasticity, sleep and pain!! Plus, no affect to lungs, My MS is more normalized with cannabis in my life!! Never thought I would ever say that but, it is the truth for me and my RRMS. I have embraced it unapologetically. No shame, no judgements just pure relief!! All the Best to all on their MS journey!
