Dave and Debi..thanks for your input. I am traveling a path new to me and I am trying to be positive and thinking, perhaps this is the pain relief and answer I have been praying so hard for.

I have been looking for an alternative to Lyrica for my neuropathy and seizures.
I don't like what it does to my brain and personality and I think it adversely affects my cognitive issues. I'm not saying MJ is the solution or right answer but I am happy to have a new option to try.

I will let you know...you are both dear to me and your kindness, compassion and friendship means the world to me. We all know how isolating pain is...it is so special to have my forum friends. Thanks, D.

i can tell you from personal experience
it works
awesome for nausea
calm
my hands and feet get a slight relief
upper right back fibromyalgia that is killing me slowly
my headaches
and other subtle calms
a short term relief
but this body does get help from it
i have had dispensary a BUSINESS
removal of the thc causing a feeling of high
mild mellow relaxed feeling when one has no ailments
BUT, for those that do have problems
IT HELPS!
this my personal experience and opinion
with much love
me

Thanks so much for your input Eva.
I am so happy to hear you get some relief from it.
Do you mind if I ask, did you take pills or edible or ????
Thank you my friend,
D.

not at all
it is smoked
i not wanting to worsen
the emphysema
it is the lesser on the pocket
all doctors are informed
and am not discouraged
infact my pain specialist
is also aware of my recovery
i do not take anything lightly
it is now a medicine
not a high
it helps
hope this helps
love
me

Hi D, I'm pleased for you, I wish you all the very best with it. Some states here agreed to participate in trials but it is unlikely ever to be approved for chronic pain. MJ is an S9 here, oxy is an S8.

THC supposedly gives euphoria, pain relief and increases the appetite, CBD will only deal with the pain. From what I can glean the pill format seems to be THC.

Cannabis vaporizers gained popularity because of peple declining to smoke it and the dose is unpredictable. Cannabinoid medicines are available in pill form in the US apparently, (dronabinol and nabilone) and liquid extracts formulated into an oromucosal spray (nabixinols)

Hi Diandra

All the best for your foray into medical marijuana. I hope you are able to find some type that gives you pain relief.

I don't know if you've been following the recent thread on this topic started by icelander who's trying CBD oil. Here's the link:

[QUOTE=Diandra;1176201]Hi All,
I was just authorized by my pain doc to receive medical marijuana.

I asked him how it will be supplied, a pill or what. He said he just gives the authorization and I have to go to the dispensary and discuss with the pharmacist and he/she will suggest the best method. Pain doc also said it come in two kinds. THC and CBD, and I should make sure I get the CBD as it is more effective for chronic pain. I have no idea what that means but I am just about to research it.

I was wondering, for those of you who use medical MJ, how was it supplied to you(pill, vapor, edible, etc) and did you find it effective for pain or neuropathy.

Hi Diandra i was just reading your post from Oct. I was wondering have you gotten any response yet and have you tried the MJ yet? and if so, did you try the CBD and did it make you feel high? and did it help your pain?
what type of pain do you suffer from? I suffer from small fiber neuropathy, I am in NY, they legalized it here and i am hoping to find this to help me with my pain. thanks

I have been on CBD and all it,does is make me sleepy. AFter 23 years on men's. I tried mm and the vapor helps my pain to the point I can start decreasing my pain mess. My gold is pain relief and no opioids. Hope I can do it. WIll let you know But if you are new to this like me start low and increase as needed. I take 10 mg of THC twice a day and it really helps, relaxes my muscles and decreases my symptoms which you all know about. Jazzelise

I just move from Wisconsin to Florida I have no idea about any of the marijuana because I never smoked it Okay I lied when I was a teenager I tried I could not deal with that I coughed and coughed and coughed LOL so if this is something that has been passed in Florida I guess I'm really asking what does it do ? IS it pill form.... yes honestly I know absolutely nothing about this can somebody please fill me in?

Hi Renee,
I know it's been awhile since your post, I hope you have gone back and read this thread. I don't have my State card yet, but I plan on getting it. I've never heard of it in pill form, but there are other forms of MM that you don't have to smoke. There are oils, and there are also edibles, like muffins. Good luck, I hope you can get some relief.
