    Brian Herres replied to the topic Hello, just diagnosed. in the forum Introductions 1 week, 3 days ago

    Hi Tim

    I can’t take Firdapse either and also reacted badly to IVIG.

    Ive been using medical cannabis for almost 2 yrs. Now solely to treat my LEMS.

    Oils and edibles didnt work well but i get really good results with a Vaporizer!

    I only use it before bed (every night) or sometimes naps if necessary.

    For me it was a huge game changer.

    Im…[Read more]

    I was on it for 3 weeks. Ice cold hands, brain fog, cold nose. It did help my nervous system in the beginning but the 4 1/2 hour seizure and a trip to the hospital put an end to it!  Now just using medical cannabis.

    Hi Carol

I use a special pillow under my knees and i always start on my back for the 1st wave . When it ebbs i turn to my left side for the 2nd wave right side…[Read more]

    Hi Debbie

    I know exactly what your going through.

    I cant take Firdapse or IVIG and my outlook was really bleak.

    After some studying i decided to try Cannabis (i found some info that it might help with Myasthenia Gravis as well as MS and ALS).

    1. It got me into a positive state of mind and i decided to fight back.

    2. I can sleep ok now after…[Read more]

    The right strain with the right dosis works great. Ive tried several different strains as this is kind of a expirmental treatment and have found 2 strains that work!

    Brian Herres replied to the topic Medical Marijuana – Yes or No? in the forum Living With LEMS 7 months ago

    In Germany i contacted my insurance company which sent me forms for my Doctor to fill out and i sent them all of my medical records. They made a one off decision to approve it as there are no studies for LEMS but i had been using it for about 3 months at the time and showed significant improvement all documented by my doctors. It was a simple process.

    Yes no studies as of yet and that was a big hurdle for me with my insurance company. It works great for me and has given me a huge boost in my quality of life Physically and emotionally! Plenty of info online about acytlcholine inhibitors and so forth online also good info regarding cannabis and treatment for ALS and MS!
