I am a survivor of a traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury. During my ACDF C4-7 / Two vertebrae were removed and a roll-bar implanted and although I miraculously recovered my mobility following the emergency surgery, there are still some serious nerve damage issues. I have been prescribed MANY, MANY drugs, some work, others don't! The bottom line here though is, the HORRENDOUS side effects of these Drugs do not outweigh the meager, at best, benefits from any of them!
I ingest (Tincture) as well as smoke MMJ (can't afford the vaporizer) and although it is NO MAGIC BULLET, it does takes a notch off the edge of the unrelenting Pain and Spasticity! At least enough to make getting around to try to do some things in life less daunting.
Oh, and according to some people, I should be strung up or shot because I will admit that yeah.... I like the "temporary euphoria" too... damn me anyway...should NOT enjoy my medications...
