but I would like to hear from people who use it for a medical purpose.
what are you using it to treat?
what has been the results for you?
what strains are you using?
this will help me learn more and refine my choices of strains.
thanks

Lemme expand on this post:

what are you using it to treat?
Was diagnosed with MS in 1998 ~ Relapsing-Remitting.
Add to this the recent diagnosis of Reynauds Phenomenon as a secondary
condition. As a Side Note; Recently the Doc's have been testing for Lupus
or the possibility that it may have been Parkinson all this time...either way
it is Neurological, but the bone structure in the right hand has increasingly
gotten worse, bones in general are hella crunchy and stiff and I drag the
right side a lot so they are also pondering the possibility that I've
had a cardiac event that went undetected.

Anyway.

Was able to work all the way up until a year or so ago.
what has been the results for you?
Reiterating on my earlier post in this thread, many of the medications they
wanna treat me with have nasty side effects and I refuse to take 2 pills to fight
the side effects that 1 gives me. It calms the spasms, helps calm symptoms
that arise when a bad episode is upon me, overall it also helps with the pain
but recently the pain has exceeded what the Reefer can do for me but I do
not get along with Narcotics n such, as they impact me 10 times stronger than
the average bear n stuff. One Vicodin and I can easily lose my equilibrium
stability...puts me in a condition that feels like the worst part of a bad drinking
session. But to me there is no better way to deal with 90% of my issues.

A fine example of why I do not like Pharmaceuticals happened just recently.
The Reynauds had turned my toes black n blue and both
feet felt like I had broken every single toe.
It was fucked UP.
I even removed the Infamous Talons to see
if it would help any...may they rest in peace.

So, after dancing my way thru the County Medical system I was launched
straight to ER to keep me from possibly losing mah poor toes. So they treat
the lack of circulation and ice cold limbs I used to call feet...with a high blood
pressure medication called Norvasc. After a couple weeks, I realized mah feet
looked like...'Cartoon Feet'. And by that I mean they were like 3 times their
normal size and all I could think of was they looked Cartoonish, like they were
not real. Well, turns out it was the fucking medication they were treating my
Reynauds with that was doing it. My next appointment is tomorrow where we
will discuss another option, but she told me over the phone that this is
a rock and a hard place situation.

This also included lower limb swelling and huge hot spots
from just above the knees to a few inches below them.
And just for this threads purpose,
I will share a photo of what happened to mah feet.

Cartoon Feet Indeed
what strains are you using?
I am using both Sativa and Indica.

My conditions also fuck with my minds state of well being, especially lately.
Therefore a head high and a body high combination suits all my needs.
Yes, there may come a time when more than just Marijuana will be
necessary...but I am always gonna be a huge believer in the
Medicinal power of the Reefer.

That is all for now.
