A funny thing happened on the way to the circus.

I have MS. I was finally diagnosed last July. The MRI's I had showed 5 lesions in my brain and 1 in my spinal cord. That was their baseline. So in Feb this year I had more MRI's. In March I went to the MS clinic again for a follow up. There are 5 new lesions in my brain and another new one in my spinal cord. The doc tried to put me on another disease modifying drug, but I again declined.

I decided to push the envelope and ask for Sativex instead. It is a whole plant 1:1 extract from GW Pharmaceuticals. I was not surprised when the doc cited poor efficacy and nasty side effects. Oh no, it might make me high. So doc countered with Nabilone. I really had no interest, but both my wife and daughter say it gives them pain relief, on only .25mg. So I said I will agree if she gives me more than a kiddy dosage, like say 1mg. She agreed to dispense .50mg but I can play around with the dosage and let her know what works.

So ....... no buzz really with 1 in the morning and one before bed. But ..... holy crap it gives me the munchies, something I have not experienced in years. My appetite is back and has at least doubled, plus I put on 2 lbs. this week. Additionally when I get up out of bed now my body does not stiffen up and halt me in my tracks. I think I am also getting less muscle clenching. which a joint fixes right away anyway, and quite effectively. Although I can up the dosage it has been a good week so I will try this for a while longer.

Who'd a thunk eh, LOL
