It is easy for me to make friends. When I go to the store. I also thank you to them. Also when I see people that are in their 50+. Alway call them young people. They say thank you. I will get a big smile from them. They don’t judge my disability.

Everyone is different. What works best for me is staying positive and working out with lite weights. When you stay positive people will notice and they will want to be around you more. No one wants to be around a negative person!

My brother has sma and I take care of him. We have found the THC tincture works very well for him: He does what we call, "stiff boarding," where his body doesn't want to bend. His legs and waist and neck are most impacted. This tincture allows his muscles to relax so he can be hoyer lifted out of bed into his chair.
The second area it helps with is swallowing. The THC tincture relaxes his throat/esophageal muscles enough for him to successfully swallow his food (most foods) instead of choking/aspirating. We live in Texas - This wee allowance of medical marijuana has changed his life and ours!
