Most of you know that my wife is sick but for those who dont here's the scoop,she has Multiple Sclorosis & was diagnosed with the Progressive strain of the disease which means it moves foward at a rapid rate & causes much intense pain.

I got back into growing because i missed the hobby,this was before we knew she had MS ,she was wrongly diagnosed with Fibro Myalgia for years & given the wrong medicine,we've pretty much allways smoked & the weed helped relax her alot so it was a win win situation.

After her latest diagnosis of Progressive MS we started paying attention to her symptoms & reading all we could on pain management for that disease,we found out that mj is one of the most effective drugs in the whole treatment picture of the disease so we started a planned treatment using more & more mj instead of the perscribed oxycontin,vicoden & muscle relaxers.

Her symptoms are 'loss of equlibrium' which causes her to stagger or fall down when she walks 'muscle spasms' that cause her stomache to convulse leaving her writhing in pain & a 100% loss of appitite where she's doing good if she is able to eat a hand full of peanuts or cashews all day long,the doctors perscribe a plethera of different drugs to control the pain & spasms non of which work real well.

We've found out that by having a constant supply of top quality smoke on hand that if she smokes a doob or a bowl at the onset of a spasm it will lesson or eliminate the spasm all together,when the severe pain hits she takes oxycontin which does not work,it gets her stoned but the pain is still there,if she smokes a bowl or 2 along with the oxycontin it takes her pain level from a level 10 which means a trip to the hospital for Dilaudid injections all the way down to a level 4 or 5 which translates into a manageable amount of pain,still lots of pain but not an all consuming pain level that she would be at without the smoke in her system.

Her appitite has been destroyed for months & for a woman as small as she is when she's in top health (110 lbs) this is a dangerous situation,if she smokes small amounts of weed it gives her the munchies just enough where she can eat a andwich or a small portion of meat,this is a big blessing in itself.

She has legions all over the left side of her brain that are growing very fast,we know the rate at which they are growing from comparing the constant MRI's that she has done on her brain,now that we've trippled the amount of mj she's using in conjunction with the prescribed drugs, were watching the MRI results even closer to see if it will slow or stop the growth rate of the legions.

Were finding out that the more we up the doseage of pot she uses in conjunction with the prescription drugs she's taking the better she feels & the better quality of life she has,the more she smokes the more she eats,the more she smokes the less pain she has,the more she smokes the better she sleeps,the more she smokes the more balance she has while walking ect,she is using a whole lot of pot right now (about 1/4 oz a day) without one single negative side effect,only good things.

We did not get back into growing for using it as a medcine but were both glad as hell we did because it's playing the largest role in her treatment to date,the more she uses mj the more of the wife i know & love for the last several decades returns to me,our children have noticed the difference in her quality of life as well as we have,we do not lie to them & they are fully aware that their mother is using mj very heavily & they agree with it.

The reason i posted this was not for attention,every day somebody posts some negative thread on this forum about getting busted or their girlfriend flipping over it so i thought it a good time to post a part of my life where heavy mj use is doing something good for a person who's done nothing to deserve the hand she's been dealt,good things can come from using mj & were finding out more & more each day.

I thank god for my ability to grow mj because without it my family would be devastated right now.

The shit that pisses me off the most is now that this issue is effecting my family on a personal level i see for the 1st time how deeply rooted most doctors ignorance really is about mj.

Doctors depend on what the drug manufactures tell them, both forget that there is follow up necessary when you give someone a prescription, its not a joke, it should be a crime too be a Doctor and be stupid. Lester Grinspoon, Harvard Medical School, said it all.
I had discussion with folks that think they are Medical professionals on both sides of the fence, all I asked them to do was really check out what is available, do the research, you see this just has to be done, we need to get the patients off the battlefield. VV

Hang in there, Panhead, that's tough.

me and my girlfriend started growing. Her sister(24) was diagnosed with MS last year.
she stopped smoking once she was diagnosed because she pretty emotional and believed it would trigger paranoia about the MS.

my girlfriend has talked to her about medical marijuana and the fact that she could get a card if she moved, she wants to go to Cali. But she doesn't really believe it can help.
She says she over the paranoia thing and would smoke but has to take a drug test sometime for her job but she won't get the test over with so she can smoke.

I am positive it could help her dramatically as she has many of those symptoms and prescriptions. How long has she had MS? Keep a big bag for your wife and yourself, peace.
