Hey Chris!

Thanks! YES! I am learning that it is a combination of the two that provides the best relief. I am now working on figuring out what and how much is optimal. Got to admit, this has been a much more enjoyable experience than some of the ones I have had with other medications:)

Cheers!
Meg

Hey Sniff – The short answer is both:) I have tried a few different CBD oil products. First there was CBD oil that I drank (took a sip from a small vial every few hours.) Then there was a mint (think Altoid.) I tried a vape pen with a product with CBD oil and a topical cream with CBD as well. There are still other options out there that are on my list – including a capsule with the CBD oil in it, and a patch. I have also heard that there is a gum product out there, or coming so I’ve added that to my list as well:)

Cheers!
Meg

Strongly agree with you about the pool being a ton of help for a myriad of issues. I have ALWAYS had an obsession with water and swimming. I have always said it is my yoga. One of the only activities that I can do that actually quiets my mind:). Plus as I have pointed out – can’t really FALL when in the pool – although you CAN fall INTO it as I have proven more than a few times 🙂

Yes it is so difficult to describe where it is at times cause as you say the whole of you hurts. I no longer use any medication for pain as nothing was working, and I had tried everything the medics could think of. I now use diversion therapy, lots, plus I have found the swimming pool helps, because the air temp is higher than pool, it cools your body down. Therefore easing the pain. If its too cold to get in the pool, like now as its winter. I have gel applied to sore area, quite thickly and let it evaporate. This cools the area down which desensitises the nerves, which easiest the pain. At times I jokingly ask hubby to jump on my toe/hand, so it takes my mind of which ever bit is screaming at that time.
I also use music, crafts, and talking “at” peeps, whatever you enjoy which takes brain off pain and stops signals having straight line to brain.
Also I find the pool great for fatigue, you know when you are not sure if you can take that next breath. In pool for few mins then almost alive again ???.

Crossing my fingers for you that you find something that eases the pain. Pot is the only thing that worked on my worst spasticity pain.

Great blog, I’ve got PPMS, and experienced all of the symptoms and more. I find that THC is a really important for my pain relief, as others I know with MS too, I tried CBD only and it really did nothing for me alone. I hope you find your path and get what you need from it. Much love from Wales, U.K. X

Hi Stubor!

As always thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and comment. Yes, I too am excited to find out what I discover with the oil….still a work in progress to figure out dose:)

Smooch!
