Mine have been minor and I have corrected them by forcing my thoughts to the top of my brain (sounds strange but worked). Massages helped. I don't have any spinal lesions. Have had shooting pains in my toes but they have not lasted long. Cramps have been a problem, especially if I let them go too long

People claim that cannabis is good for the pains and spasticity, I didn't like it because it put me back in the fog I was trying to escape.

I have learned to control my emotions by just freezing everything, sort of like freezing when a bee is buzzing around (I am allergic).
