Hello friends --What a week. This election stuff is exhausting! Seems appropriate though for 2020, right?? Other than a pandemic and an election up in the air suspending the country in a sort of weird limbo - everything's good!  Hope you can say the same! Special thanks to ALL the folks that reached out to share their experience and advice with medical marijuana from last week's Friday Night 6-Pack inquiry. I am now certified - but have to jump through another hoop or two before I can get my card. But thank you all for taking the time to share your wisdom! Much appreciated.So - let's get to the good stuff:1.  Here's a bit of a throwback episode of the FUMS Podcast Show - but it's worth revisiting as it's an interview with Mary Dale Walters, a specialist in disability insurance.  She will walk us through a large number of resources and relevant information necessary to have a clearer understanding of the application process for Disability Insurance and other benefits.  Listen here: Disability Insurance Explained 2.  The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has endorsed the use of HSCT in MS!! This is the stem cell transplant surgery that Selma Blair utilized. This is HUGE.

The results about the stressors of MS are really interesting. Read the article and see the infographics here: Survey & Infographics5.  A Phase 3 trial is underway in the U.S. to assess the safety and efficacy of Sativex (nabiximols), an oral spray that contains cannabis extracts, in treating spasticity — muscle stiffness or spasms — associated with multiple sclerosis (MS).  Here's where to learn more: Phase 3 Trial of Sativex6.  In other news, I've been very busy adding new products to the FUMS Shop.
