My name is Rita. I am in snowy Cleveland, OH. I was diagnosed with TM Memorial Day weekend 2007 at the C-4/C-5 region, apparently from a virus I had 3 weeks prior. With some people introducing themselves I thought it was time I did to. I have read your emails and received a lot of helpful

Gaylon, I used Marinol on and off 1999 until around 2002 I think. It made me tired, hungry and non functioning if I took it during the day. I equate it to eating laced brownies in my youth, but too many of them. Smoking weed works very well for me, but I only need to take one or two tokes and do
