Hi Janet –
My apologies for the delay in responding! We have just returned from a trip to Colorado to learn more about cannabis and growing and I did a pretty lame job of keeping on top of things other than just enjoying our trip:) SO …here is my completely unmedical and non-professional answer – consuming cannabis can lead to dehydration. Dehydration CAN play a roll in getting a UTI….so maybe you need to just consume a shit ton of water if you are using cannabis as your medicine????
Drinking water and staying hydrated and NOT peeing my pants is a constant balancing act!!!:)

xoxo
Meg

The negative was I started getting sever UTI’s I would just get over one and a new one would start putting me in the hospital. I would love to try it again but can not live with the UTI’s. Do you know how to control these while taking cannabis.

🙂 Thanks Marti – I LOVE that you have this much love and concern for your daughter and her disease. NOT everyone is fortunate enough to have someone like that in their corner. BUT I do ask that you remember that it is ultimately HER disease and she has to do what she feels is right (Pretty sure YOU know that but perhaps helpful to others that are reading this as a loved one or care-taker?:) EVEN if it is a path that you feel is wrong.

Truly hoping that someday I will be able to tell you that I spoke with (or communicated in some fashion) with your daughter and that it was a positive encounter because one of the things we all need is more positivity!

xoxo

Meg

Visiting Spain would be a great experience. I am so enjoying and an encouraged by reading your Blog Megan. As I have said before I have a child age38 now who struggles with all the weird and odd effects of MS on a daily basis.
My wish my hope, my prayers are that she willl try Cannabis as a treatment for herself. I firmly deeply believe in my heart that She would have positive results. Maybe be able to get off some of awful pharmaceuticals meds that are addictive and just plain bad for her .
She is intelligent. Articulate. Able to do most any kind of work using sophisticated computer software skills plus a background with diversified knowledge in Real estate, legal jargon and Titles, car sales and Medical/ Insurance areas. I pray she finds a job that gives her room to grow, is Stable and successful so she may plan for her future and not wallow away her life waiting to Get Well. She seems in a rut with THIS illness tainting her ability to Fulfill her 🙁 potential. Her dreams. Being successful and self-reliant.S he can do it but she has been so beaten down financially and Career wise.T he disease and the immense chronic pain was destroying her.
So I have sent her links to your blog and your many challenges. You using humor and wit and sheer will power to overcome. To be more than just your disease.So thank you with all my heart.I am so glad I got to meet you through this encounter on Facebook. May you continue to progress and improve. To enjoy every day in your own way.
Many Blessings and Best wishes,
?❤?❤ Marti

I am back to doing things that I honestly didn’t think I would ever do again. I am feeling relatively healthy, strong, and somewhat confident. The “some what” because no matter how much I improve, no matter how good I feel, dealing with the MS fog, altered sensations and vision issues will always cause me to have some fear and doubt embedded into anything I try and tackle. But rather than being paralyzed by these fears and doubts, as I have in the past, I am now pushing past them and just getting shit done.
