Listen to our stories or taking all this medication so many times a day for relief but all it is is a band-aid we need to try and figure out the root issue and cease with all this man-made medication that is most likely wearing our organs out.

True, but in my case, it's one of the few things helping. I know the root causes, yet I cannot treat/cure without medication. I do opt for natural where I can. What America needs is a complete revamp of the healthcare system. Will it happen? Doubtful.

well, we do need some of that man-made medication, like heart medication, aspirin, and pain med, but we also need the herbal medication like marijuana as well🌸🦁💜

My legs give out on me so much my friends always seem to want to grab my arm and walk with me. And the numbness in my legs from the knee down at times are also unbearable. But most of the time when I do a little stretching and I use a foot massager it helps with the numbness.

I've been on 300mg for at least 15 years. Initial diagnosis was inflammation of the trigeminal nerves on the left side of my face but a few years later I was diagnosed with MS when everything else got "inflammed" too lol
