Hey Kathy! Thanks for taking the time to read and for the kind words. If you figure out a way to remember the notes you write let me know:). I have them all over the house but never remember to READ them:)

Cheers!
Meg

You articulated so well what so many of us experience. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and pain and confusion. This is my most hated symptom. And most pervasive. It is really hard to remember when you’re in the midst of a flare, that this too (hopefully) shall pass. Think I’ll write myself a note (now if I can just remember I wrote the note!) to remind myself to relax and just get through it. Thanks for posting this!! FUMS!!

Hey Lucille! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and sharing your story. I would recommend you look into MMJ. It has helped me in many ways and I love that it seems to have opened up my creativity – haven’t felt it in years! I am more than happy to chat with you and explain what I have tried, what I have learned and what is working. Shoot me an email if you want to connect and I’ll send my phone number and or Skype:).

Cheers!
Meg

I wonder if everyone with MS who gets the flu has a similar experience. I had the flu in 2010, and that was the sickest I had ever been in my life. I remember getting depressed when I had the flu and wondering if I was going to die. I had a bad cough and got some OTC cough syrup that actually made me high. I couldn’t sleep. I had never been high before so that was pretty interesting! The high made me very jittery, but I also experienced more clarity of thought than I usually have. (I have cognitive problems because of MS.) I actually came up with some good ideas for our Queen Anne Victorian when I was high on cough syrup! I’m wondering if I could have clarity of thought with medical marijuana without the high. Recovering from the flu was a very slow process. My fatigue was worse and I just felt so weak. I remember I was shopping in Walmart one day and I just felt I could not stand up any longer. I had to find a place to sit down fast! That was something I hadn’t experienced before or since. I can still walk, although I’m not very graceful. I trip some and bump into things and people sometimes. I’ll have to read what you’ve written about medical marijuana. I wonder if MM helps with anxiety. I really need this stuff because getting a good night’s sleep without having to go to the bathroom sounds wonderful! I’ve heard MM does that. I wonder why I make such long and rambling comments!

:). Thank you Declan! Although we don’t officially know each other it means something to my returning “me” to have you say this:)
