I use Marijuana at Night in Edibles. I eat it about 45 Minutes before I go to Bed and it wears off before I wake up. For Me, it works on My Pain, Severe Muscle Spasms and it also lets Me empty My Bladder before going to Bed. I wouldn't trade it for any Pills the Doctor would give Me.

KT, that is great. I just got my medical marijuana card on Friday and planned on going to the dispensary on Thursday. If you have any advice, please let me know. I tried it for the first time ten days ago. It was great for me. I was relaxed, my anxiety was gone, I slept very well that night, and above all, it controlled my overactive bladder. There was a small amount of THC in it.

Been taking heavy CBD for a couple years now - and add in THC at night for sleep & pain.
Just got my MRI results back - nothing new in just over 2 years, so that's a win for me. SO - to answer your question:
MOOD: definitely better! I'm able to meditate now too so I'm a lot less stressed which honestly helps with everything
WALKING ABILITY: not currently an issue with me but I can say that I used to have a really hard time balancing while standing to put on tights or socks - now it's no problem, so there's definitely been a drastic improvement in balance and flexibility
LESIONS: I haven't had much MRI activity since my 2015 diagnosis - but definitely nothing new since I started my CBD/THC regimen - just got my latest results last week.

I will say that I've also changed a lot of other things (pretty sure we've messaged about that before) so I can't give all the credit to the CBD/THC.....but I feel so much better when I take it that this girl is completely SOLD on using it for life.

Agree with @A MyMSTeam Member but it also controlled my overactive bladder.

No, it isn't. I still walk into walls, especially at doorways. My mood is always heightened by it, and my lesions are decreasing. I don't know if its the pot or the MS medication or time causing the decrease. I believe if it's going to get worse then it will get worse. MS seems to do what it wants regardless of how a person tries to change it. Have a lovely day.
