Hello friends --How are you doing?  I'm in a lot of pain.  Self-inflicted pain.  Pain from going on the wrong hike in the mountains of Virginia with my daughter the other day.  We thought we were going on a relatively flat 1 mile hike.  Well - it felt like it was straight up - with rock scrambles and all!  It was the hardest hike I've ever done.  Had I known what was coming I never would have done it.  And then I never would have seen the vista that was waiting for me.  Check this out:  WOW1.  I went looking for any research on MS and psychedelic drugs.  I had been reading so much about success with  psychedelics and mental health, I wanted to know if anything was being studied in MS.  I discovered the most interesting scientist - Neurobiologist Caitlin Thompson - and what she had to share was mesmorizing!  Check it out: Psychedelics, Frogs & MS2.  Confirming or ruling out MS can help you start treatment as soon as possible.
