Hi this is my first post though I joint a long time ago when I was at the point of not knowing and not wanting to know too much as back down the path and waking up blind in one eye because they had said it was many different conditions including dystonia and Parkinson's and parkinsonism, all this did was make me think very little about it as I was sure they were going to change the name and the diagnosis soon anyway. Unfortunately they were right and that's when my story began. I was at sea on a lifeboat when I had the first symptom which words any writing of my radio log disappeared when we switched over to red lighting, when I went back to white lighting it was still there yet when I changed back to red it was gone again very shortly after this I awoke blind in my left eye. That was in January 2013 so fast forward to today and the current period my RRMS was changed to SPM's and that is where I begin. I am founder of the group bikers with MS which is a worldwide group. On Facebook or anyone who rides or has a love of two wheels or three. I have tried cannabis to great effect wasn't a route I particularly wanted to go down but the painful spasms got too much and I wish I had tried this years ago. It stops being voluntary leg spasms it enables me to get to sleep as my legs aren't going rigid every two minutes. It got to a point where they would go rigid for approximately two minutes at a time but this would happen every 5 to 10 minutes or less. It was awful trying to get to sleep even though I was on five sleeping tablets. I am a down to 2 or three. My initial surprise was the next day I was able to get dressed and something as simple as putting my own socks on became a breeze. This meant my wife did not have to dress me in the mornings as I was able to do it myself. And I did not need any extra painkillers or to use the hoist to get me out of bed and into a wheelchair. I was able to move and lift up my right leg and foot instead of dragging it across the floor. Sitting down and transfers were a breeze and easy for me to achieve on my own. I am in the process of trying to get the medical version and the saivex spray, but this is proving to be very difficult as soon as they do I will report any positive or negative effects but this has. My advice is to try anything as you never know you may have been suffering for a long time when you didn't need to, as this really works and has blown me away by the difference that it has and on the plus side it tends to last 24 hours all put into a regular Riizla size cigarette paper that you use to roll your own cigarettes. As soon as the medical one is made available to me again I will report both the positives and negatives as this is added to your foods and therefore if like me you're trying to give up smoking this then means you don't have to keep smoking. All I can say at present it's the smoking version works fantastically better than any medication I've ever taken. I intend to plug the effects of this everywhere can as if I had known this in the early days maybe they would be better. I'm starting to lose my eyesight as my left one is all but blind in my right one is struggling I've just had an MRI because they are now saying as well as optic neritis in my left eye I have ocular hypertension in both, they have told me this could result in glaucoma but if it does they can perform an operation to rectify this and that is the hope I am hanging onto. I have a Harley but sadly they have taken my licence away and now I cannot ride or drive. I still have the Harley in my room ready for when a treatment is found for the vision. And though the subject matter of cannabis is totally not suggested or okay to use if you have to operate a vehicle or any machinery as it could cause an injury because it will alter things like balance your feeling as well as reacting to things slower etc. If I had to say where the cannabis put me on my journey from the start of MS I would have to say when I smoked it I was moving and free of pain or discomfort similar to 2014.
