Life Changer!
I've had M.S. for many, many years. I've tried "all the drugs" my neurologists could throw at me over many years. Nothing worked for my evening burning feet pain, which kept me half comatose for many years. When medical cannabis became legal in IL, I was there day one out of desperation. Yes I became Euphoric! But not from THC. Two puffs off a vape tool (as recommended by my neurologist) as opposed to smoking, and the pain was gone! One of my other neurologists (yes I had more than one, I was desperate), would always tell me that the only medication that worked immediately were antacids. Well, cannabis, vaped, is another!
A few puffs, and the pain is gone! Completely! I found that CBD rich strains work best for my type of pain. Pure CBD as from hemp, helps, but is not as effective as CBC rich flower. Cannabis is more than just THC & CBD. Do the research. Since I use it evenings, when my pain shows up, a CBD rich indica also helps as a sleep aid, though I no longer have a problem getting to sleep due to pain. The idea of cutting off my feet with the sawzall in my garage so I could get to sleep, starting exhausted by 6-8pm, but up till mid-late morning because of the pain. Cannabis brought me back from the walking dead! It's not a cure. If I don't vape, or can't, the pain is like clockwork back in full force. That's when the all 50 states CBD from hemp helps a little.
Certain sativa's work great for fatigue as well. I can enjoy things I could not do anymore, such as lawn work...? Never enjoyed it before, but when you simply cannot do it if you tried, being given a second chance, I now love it! Cannabis gives you a whole extra set of spoons! No drug ever did that. The air force / anti-narcolepsy drugs such as Nuvigil / Provigil kept me from falling asleep in Chicago's rush hour traffic while still working, but did nothing for the fatigue. This is amazing. And with lots of research ever since, from many sources, I've come to the conclusion, it's Big Pharma that's against it the most, yet they are patenting strains,....? The pharmaceutical equivalents have been disliked by everyone I know who have tried them for years. Most are using opioids for their pain. I'm so glad I was not sent down that dangerous route.
