I start my second 30 days tomorrow. My doctor believes it takes 18 weeks to notice any improvements. I noticed the first two weeks I had extremely sore arm muscles. I do not know if it was a side effect or a coincidence. It felt like nails going through my biceps. I still drive but I usually quit after noon due to shaking. In the last few weeks I notice I am a lot more steady in the afternoon.

I am on Medicare and Tri-Care For Life, (Retired Military). Fingers crossed for next month.

I smoked as a teenager and again after retiring from military. I love it and surely miss it. For me, I got my card when medical was approved about 10 years ago. I had to quit drinking when it was obvious what used to take 12 beer’s to be impaired now took 1. 2 to make it hard to use bathroom or keep from falling from my chair.

I decided to use vaporizer out of respect of my wife who has never smoked, (or drank),  in her life. First time with vaporizer, I didn’t think I was doing it correctly and after working on it for a 1/2 hour, my wife came in to find me on the floor. She helped me literally crawl to bed where I slept for a full day and a half.

I moved the vaporizer to the bed side. What I found out was, 1 or 2 draws and I was out. Even though I never increased smoke or changed in anyway, my sleep time increased quickly to where I was sleeping more than awake.

My wife explained it this way. The disease affects the muscles. Add pot to that and your muscles are toast, at least in my case.

I was diagnosed in 2002 shortly after retiring from the Army. Throughout my career I really struggled with physical fitness, marksmanship, confidence course and doing my daily duties. I never failed at anything I attempted but I had to work much, much harder than my peers. I left as a Truck Master and with absolutely no regrets! My brothers and sister were in wheelchairs in their late 20s, early 30s.

I believe that the military service kept me out of the wheelchair and it allowed me to build much more strength that has allowed me to live longer and a better life. Now I have a wife that takes extremely good care of me and allows me to try doing stuff that I really want to do. She has the patience of a saint! Even though she is in her mid-70s and I am a handful to take care of, we are traveling using a van and pulling a 23 foot travel trailer.
