Neglected to mention that I've not used cannabis for any MS symptoms; I don't think it would help with fatigue or balance.

Hi @A MyMSTeam Member McKenzie, I don't know if cannabis is legal here; I haven't used it in more than 30 years. I don't think it would help my MS symptoms, mainly FATIGUE. My (POOR ME! Symptoms) aren't as' much MS as (1) PAINFUL knee , a result of an incompetent,surgeon leaving the knee BENT) and (2) surgery done for retina + cataract (can't see on right side --so I can't drive.
I don't think canna is would help these. It sounds a though it's helping you a bit - GOOD!
Be well & have a Happy Easter!

I have not had vertigo..but deal with spactisity and stiffness as well as overactive nerves...provides a electrical feeling of my foot being in a bed of nails and also my leg and foot are very painful to the touch.
my neurologist also lists cannabis as an alternative therapy..even though it is illegal..
. what I noticed when I first tried cannibas.
Is I turned from zombie stiff..to my legs feeling like hello..this feeling lessened as time went by..
. It helps with my appetite a great deal as well..
but the big drawback I see...is cognitive and memory problems.

Hey @suelettieri This friend has a little of everything it seems. His balance is off, gets vertigo, walks with a cane, get spasms. He lived in NC for a while and said he got a hold of some from a person he met at an MS conference. He told me it has helped him a lot so far, for vertigo and the muscle spasms.
