I was wondering if anyone has decided to trade in the DMD for CBD oil? I have tried almost every treatment and was now put on Ocrevus. Was on Tysabri for 9 years until I developed an allergic reaction. Had no new activity for those 9 years. I don’t want to continue on Ocrevus because of potential side effects… Read More

Hello,  I was diagnosed with MS in February 2019. I began taking Gilenya in May but it was not a good fit. Gilenya was causing anxiety on things that I would do on a daily basis. I stopped taking it about a month ago. My MS doctor gave me two options - ocrevus or tecfidera.  Has anyone else taken either… Read More

Has anyone found the use of cannabis THC concentrate oil or CBD concentrate oil helpful for MS or spasticity? When I say oil I'm referring to the type made by Rick Simpson.
