Standard medications given to her to help deal with the suffering had little effect.標準的藥品給予她的幫助處理的苦難已收效甚微。 But but in 2007 she was offered the cannabis-based drug Sativex by doctors at the pain management clinic in Gartnaval Hospital, Glasgow, as part of a clinical trial.但在2007年，但她提供了大麻為基礎的藥物sativex由醫生在疼痛管理診所在gartnaval醫院，格拉斯哥，作為一個組成部分臨床試驗。
Rae became one of the first people in the UK to be given the drug on prescription after doctors allowed her to continue taking it after the trial, given the improvements to her condition.研究評審工作，成為第一個人在英國獲得藥物的處方後，醫生讓她繼續服用它後，審判，鑑於改善她的病情。
A few sprays of the drug under her tongue each day has enabled Rae to lead a normal life.數噴霧劑的藥物下，她的舌頭每一天，使評審工作，領導一個正常的生活。

It was given approval for the symptomatic relief of pain in MS sufferers, and the UK’s medicine authorities are currently considering a similar application.這是批准症狀減輕疼痛在MS患者，和英國的醫藥當局目前正在考慮類似的應用程序。 Doctors hope the drug will then be approved for prescription for other types of chronic pain.醫生希望藥物屆時批准的處方為其他類型的慢性疼痛。

As the wife of a doctor in a quiet rural village, she said she was wary about taking the drug, and its hardly surprising as the newspapers are filled daily with tales of woe regarding cannabis, which is enough to put some people off seeking relief from their conditions.作為妻子，一名醫生在一個安靜的農村，她說她擔心服藥，其實在不足為奇，因為報紙是充滿每日與悲哀的故事就大麻，這是不夠的，有些人提出的小康尋求救濟他們的條件。

One sufferer, Biz Ivol (now deceased), from Herston, South Ronaldsay in Orkney, sparked a furious debate when she admitted making cannabis-laced chocolates for other patients with the same condition.一患者，合作ivol （現為已故） ，從herston ，南ronaldsay在康威，引發了瘋狂的辯論時，她承認，使大麻費城巧克力的其他患者相同的條件下。

“These are patients who have tried everything else, so to get that kind of response can help a lot of people who have no other choices. “這是誰的病人曾嘗試一切，所以得到這樣的回應，可以幫助了很多人誰沒有其他的選擇。 The type of people who use it to treat pain are totally different from those who use it for recreation.”該類型的人，誰用它來治療疼痛是完全不同的從那些誰用它來娛樂“ 。
