NICE and NHS England Oppose Sativex to Treat Spasticity in MS
‘NICE also recommended against prescribing Sativex as a treatment for spasticity (muscle stiffness) in people with MS for reasons related to its cost-effectiveness’.
The above is an extract from one of our news pieces. Living in the UK I’m not exactly sad about this as NICE seem to be pushing for more research on medicinal cannabis.
I remember being in a group where we discussed Sativex. Some people had used it but it was quite expensive [you had to buy it as a private prescription – in the UK that is pricey] and the results were vague. Coming form an ‘alternative’ lifestyle I pointed out the real thing was cheaper, I knew it to be effective and you could also have a bit of fun. I was met by blank stares.
If you’re staring at this blankly now – fair enough.
Personally though I’ve been amazed at how good cannabis is at dealing with MS pain, spasticity and actually helping me sleep.
Any comments?
