I know a lot of you use medical marijuana or pain relief. There's even more of a benefit it turns out. You can fight cancer with the use of mary jane! Here's the scoop:
Compound found in marijuana shown to 'turn off' cancer

"some noted weakness in quads and calves" does that then constitute "clinical weakness"? This was my GP, not a neuro (still trying to get myself to Hong Kong). Actual neuro appt in the states in January did not note "weakness" and EMG of my arms was clean, although my arms are not where I'm...
To clear up a few things the psych said that seem to have you concerned:
"can take time to diagnose" -- let me explain briefly why. First, the EMG shows abnormalities. The "time" is to be sure that those abnormalities aren't something ELSE. (Remember, many things affect nerves and muscles)...

In response to a post:
Your newest batch of symptoms sound more like fibromyalgia than anything else. ALS isn't going to cause pain in early stages. LOSS OF USE is what usually sends those with ALS to the doctor. They suddenly can't do something--for me, it was I couldn't push the buttons to...

Hi everyone. You all have big hearts and I appreciate the time and help. I wrote in a different thread, under "husband," but this is a specific question; when the doctor asks if you feel fatigue at the end of the day, how on earth can you separate exhaustion because you're not sleeping at night...
