He was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis in 1991. In 1996 when he had to have another Chemo treatment his doctor actually agreed with me regarding the use of mj for nausea. He was on vicodin for years for pain and experiencing some very nasty side effects. He found MJ controlled the pain better and helped with the constant nausea due to Methotrexate and Cyclosporine. My son made a believer out of me in regards to medicinal value of MJ.
