I brought the post about Medical marijane( shoot I can't even spell today) back up for answers to my questions. I had severe Muscle spasms last night and I an shaking so bad with jerks too today. I need to hear from people soon. Any thoughts on the subject are great! I also need to know if they will give merinol(sp) Pill form of Mj to Fibro people in my state of VA. I want it to leagal here if I am to try it. I pray it helps. I had to take 8 Percocet and 8 soma in one day and that scares me. I need some better help. Last night I thought I was going to die!

HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER TODAY. WISH THEY WOULD FIND A CURE FOR THIS THING.
AS FAR AS THE POT...WELL....I'VE TRIED IT AND I GOTTA TELL YA, SOMETIMES IT HELPS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THE TIMES IT DOESN'T IT MAKES IT WORSE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!! (FOR ME ANYWAY). AND WHEN IT MAKES IT WORSE I'M ON THE COUCH AND CAN'T MOVE, WANTING TO SHOT MYSELF FOR DOING IT. EVERYONES DIFFERENT THO. ALL YOU COULD DO IS TRY AND SEE. HOPE THIS HELPS. TAKE CARE.

Hi Raven,

People are so paranoid about mj, and it is unfortunate. Whether it works or not for a particular set of symptoms, it will not cause anyone harm.

Mj helps take the edge off muscular pain, relieves muscle spasms, eases the nausea after taking meds, eases the abdominal pain that accompanies IBS, stimulates appetite when meds take it away, and is an exceptional sleep aid. On top of that, it improves headspace, and enables smiling.

The narcotics that FM'ers often use to quell pain have, statistically, caused many more residual health problems than mj.

Good luck, Raven, I'm sorry you are feeling so miserable.

P.S. Any 'high' that accompanies use will decrease as treatments continue. Over time, it can get to the level that therapeutic relief is achieved with no '

' at all.

Raven honey you have to be careful of the somas I take them...And I remember taking up to eight a night... They are a muscle relaxer and your heart is a muscle. I remember the days I was bedridden for 3 months...It wasn't all that long ago.

I start to take 2 supplements called O-live 1 and
O-live 2 by Vitamina, Inc. I take up to 8 a day with no side effects....NONE I still can't believe. After my doctor prescribed millions of meds that didn't work and wasted money. I found something that really helped me...For $ $ 50.00....It's worth it...I still have my moments, especially when I eat dairy.

Dairy cause inflammation..cheese, milk, bread, cookies etc. You'd be surprised what's in food until you have to read the labels :0)

Fibro is a disease that I would have to say is mind over matter. I think the only thing that helped me feel better was prayer and natural vitamins.

I know the pain is bad Raven, but please be careful..I take 3-4 a night.
