Multiple sclerosis is a disabling disease involving the central nervous system. This disease interrupts the flow of information between the body and brain. The causes of MS are still unknown. More common symptoms of this disease include fatigue, numbness or tingling, weakness, dizziness or vertigo, pain, sexual problems, bowel movement and bladder problems, vision problems, spasticity, walking difficulties, cognitive changes, seizures and muscle spasms, breathing problems, hearing loss, tremors, and emotional problems and depression. While medications can be used to modify the disease course and treat symptoms, there are no known cures. Medications simply help people manage their lives with MS and enhance their quality of life.
Best Method of Ingestion for This Condition
Although research is still limited, medical marijuana has been shown to treat symptoms of MS like pain, sleep problems, bladder problems and spasticity. People who suffer from spasticity, pain and muscle spasms related to MS can find significant relief from medical marijuana.
