Toby, l make myself a proper coffee in the morning. Usually, have another later in the morning. l was told it helped with fatigue. l do have a coffee machine - espresso type - but l find it easier to use espresso coffee in a cafetiere - heat a couple of inches of milk in a mug in the microwave - 1min 20 secs - froth it up with a little frother gizmo. Add a spoonful of demerera sugar add the coffee - its wonderful. l buy Bellarom Espressp 100%Arabica grounds - from LIDL - lts better then any of the more expensive ones l have tried. All my friends who visit say it is the best coffee ever. Even a ltalian friend of mine. The rest of the day l drink either water or Redbush tea - which is naturally caffeine free. lf l drink coffee later in the day it does effect my sleep.
Now Sativex - yes l have been using this for about 4yrs - get mine from GP on prescription. Do you get theNew Pathways mag - it is published by MS-UK. Always lots of info- letters from users of Sativex or the real stuff!! lf you donât read it then l do recommend you subscribe to it. The last edition would interest you - the Welsh Health Minister Mark Drakefordââ has approved funding for cannabis-based medicine which helps people living with multiple sclerosisââ ln England, drugs minister Norman Baker has called for the legalisation of cannabis, saying there is growing evidence of the drugs medicinal benefits. lt is valuable to treat conditons such as MS,Glaucoma, chronic neurological pain and the side -effects of chemotherapy and HIV/AIDS treatments.
There is also in the âlettersâ section a letter from a chap whose wife has MS. His wife has had MS 17years. The last six years she has been taking only LDN - her health has improved and she has not âprogressedâ in that time. She never gets colds or flu - and her friends with MS who take LDN have found the same. Try and get this issue mag 87. And read this chaps letter titled Cash Cows. l think you will be interested.
l have been on LDN for about 6yrs. Apart from vitamin d3/ b12 - this and Sativex is the only treatment l am on. And l have had SPMS for 32yrs. And l have not progressed in the last 6yrs. Wish l had known about it years ago.
LDN boosts endorphins [ a bit like a good coffee] and because of its immune-boosting properties lets your body heal itself by preventing you getting ill.
Two drugs that the drug companies do not make billions out of - hence his title of âCash Cowsâ.
