I've been able to stay at the same levels of pain meds. since 2009 -- 8 years now. I am certain you can get by with less of the pain meds. by using it. I am not on MS drugs as they cost as much as $15K a month and efficacy is highly questionable.

It has neuroprotective factors it and how does your family know if it does no good? They have not a clue.

It is such a mysterious thing to be plagued with. It gets worse as you age. The occasional patches of numbness and pain are now everywhere. I live at a pain level 5 when medicated and don't remember what a level zero is! I get burning pain in my feet legs and lots of other places and pain so severe I cannot run a comb through my scalp. I wonder how much worse it will get?

Do what you must for yourself. Indica strains are best for sleep and pain. CBDs are sadly overpriced. They are readily available as sprays and it is called Sativex in Canada where it is legal.

Take care.
