When I first started noticing tingling and numbness in our limbs plus fatigue, I thought I was just pushing myself too much while in our workouts.
- I then started having complications with balance plus dizziness.
It started becoming tough for me to walk. When I experienced pain plus spasms in our legs, I went to the doctor for tests. I was tested on with multiple sclerosis. I am fortunate that it was caught at the early stages. I have been able to manage the majority of our symptoms with cannabis. I am relieved to rely on a natural treatment rather than hardcore pharmaceuticals. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune neurological condition. The body attacks the protective cells that surround nerve cells, degrading them plus causing them to malfunction… Each situation of MS can be truly different. In our case, the autoimmune attacks aren’t happening all the time. I can go weeks or even multiple years without experiencing symptoms. I tend to have good plus bad mornings. I am hoping that our symptoms don’t worsen over time. I am truly thankful that particular strains of cannabis have helped provide relief, but one of our number ones is Granddaddy Purple. It is an indica strain with moderate THC levels plus an abundance of myrcene, beta-caryophyllene plus pinene terpenes. It provides feelings of relaxation, calm plus happiness while reducing pain. It’s also good for combating insomnia. Northern Lights is another indica that is dominant in myrcene, alpha-pinene plus beta-caryophyllene terpenes. But it is higher in THC amount, a fantastic pain reliever plus an effective natural sedative. I have found that a sativa dominant hybrid called Blue Dream works to fight the pain and help me relax without making me sick.
