I'm 53 & in Dec.04 I had an attack that left me bedridden, in constant pain, limping, incontinent, w/o an appetite & w/o the ability to speak-I'd slur until I was unintelligible and have to rest until I could make the effort again. After 2 months of absolute hell and because I felt I wasting away I smoked a joint (previous experience with cancer & surgeries). Immediately my pain eased, I felt hungry, I stopped crying all the time, incontinence was no longer a problem and most importantly and my voice was back.
I was skeptical that is was the marijuana that was helping and I needlesslly suffered through a number of 3-4 month periods of not using with all the worst symptoms back every time I stopped. By Thanksgiving weekend '06 after 2 months without any relief at all I cried "uncle"and have been trying every since to keep myself supplied which is not always easy.
It may not work for everyone but we should have the freedom to choose.
