This is the same med as Nayzilam, it predated Nayzilam when the patient injected the versed into the atomizer and then sprayed the nasal chambers.

Today I swam 1/2 mile, and then set up side dishes for dinner. Resting now. Tomorrow I see a Doc in person...should be okay, but who knows what tomrrow brings.

I have been swimming 1/2 mile daily still. The air is warming up to mid 60s, making it less frigid to walk from the pool to the warm shower after.

NARCOMS sent out a survey on the use of medical marijuana and street marijuana to manage MS symptoms. Let’s see what they find.

Virginia, how scary for you. Growing old seems so filled with suffering, uncertainty.
