I am fighting Multiple Sclerosis and its invisible demons for many years now.
I am one of the many that --Look Normal--or Look So Good-since I lost 30 pounds===from my inability to feel hunger over a 6 mo period of time.
When extremely stressed. I must have 3 days of IV steroids and then I am not allowed my infusion appts for another month.
The lesions are in my brain. I lose short term memory, I cannot process my words or conversations to use when I talk. I stutter and lose vision when stressed.I forget drs appts. I lose keys, phones, and everything else. I misplace things.
I have 3 calenders..Often all 3 are missing.
I am 52yo and have a young son.
I suffer from "extreme fatigue", insomnia, gastroparesis, rectal prolapse, and also degenerative discs.in my neck which causes frequent migraines. Now recently I have shingles on my face and scalp.
None of the MS injection therapies have worked..
For nearly 2 yrs I have been on a FDA infusionTysabri-re=released for MS== It is often referred to as a 'last chance' med- it was last on the market and pulled 2 yrs ago when it caused brain infection and inflammation, causing death for 2 women when it was combined with other MS drugs.

The head pain,fatigue, inability to have an appetite, inability to have a normal BM, inability to fall asleep, inability to stay awake. I have leg spasms and tremors constantly.

I have been approved and receive SS Disability.
I give myself shots for migraines.I take pills for::: depression,energy, sleep, for focus and attention, and now must take Valtrex everyday for any further outbreaks of shingles-this is for as long as I am on Tysabri.

The Medicinal marijuana-when I am fortunate to get it-it has a threat of jail time and more---it has helped me to have an appetite, also to have a normal bathroom habit. It allows me to focus and actually do some household tasks. It allows the depression to ease up so I can relax and enjoy my young son and life in general.
It is not the drug of the 70's. I do not get giggly and spacey on it. I take it so I can continue to enjoy life as I knew it.
I take it so I can be fully functional. I use a vaporiser so that I do not have trbl with the toxins that make me cough.
I take it so I can sit and stand at church for an hour to enjoy the message that is given.
I take it so I can enjoy my son and not feel tired, cranky or out of focus.
It is a herb that was legal up til recently in our time.
It is not like alcohol in any sense.
Alcohol can turn to a poison in the wrong persons body.
Marijuana has not proved to be a harmful drug.
It has benefits far too many for me to mention here.
It is good for so many.

Please look beyond the stops on this herb and give it to those of us that need it to survive.
I do not want to become so disabled that I need a caregiver or a wheeelchair or a nursing home.
Please hear the pleas of the sick and help them be comforted and aided by this green plant that was God Given.

Bless you for reading this and passing it on.
My story is like a hundred others.
MS is a disease that is not easily diagnosed, or easily treated.
It happens to teenagers and those entering the retirement of life as well as those in their prime.
Please help make this available to me so I can be a mom and a wife and a contributing member of my community.
All in God's name and doing His work.
Thank You for hearing me..
