Hi Diandra,
Good to hear you were able to get first-hand advice and are seemingly reaping the benefits, even if it starts with a reduced headache and a loud slumber. I wonder - will you have to prepare extra Thanksgiving food to stave off The Munchies, or does MMJ not have that side effect? Dave. |

Hi Diandra,
The "burn" sounds uncomfortable. I hope you find the best product/method/mix for relief. I understand it can take time to find optimal treatment. I hope you have had a joyful Thanksgiving. Love and Light, DejaVu |

You hit the nail on the head ! Unfortunately, it does seem to have the munchies side effect. My husband reminded me I woke up from my hibernation-like slumber after my first "hit" and immediately asked for a brownie heated in the microwave with ice cream(something I RARELY eat but it was in the house for company). He thought that was hilarious that within seconds of waking up, that was what I asked for....he asked me if I needed anything and he meant like a glass of water! Thankfully, I DID make extra food. Hope everyone had a nice Tday. D. |

I got over the burn but do wish I had been warned. It is taking some trial and error but, in the good news dept, it has helped with headaches that have been caused by another med. I had a nice Tday....hope you did as well. D. |

Hi all,
Was wondering if there were any updates on experiences with MMJ and pain relief. I have been searching for an answer to my neuropathic pain (I have MS) for about eight years, and after all that time, I've tried everything. I guess I'm looking at this as my last hope. Since it's not legal yet here in PA, I've tried this option "off the grid" so to speak, but it didn't turn out well. I couldn't wait for the effects to wear off--and to think that it seemed like so much fun back in the 70s! I'm just hoping it would be better more refined strains, especially something with higher CBD and lower THC (my, the stuff they have these days is so much heavier on the latter than when I was a kid!) But isn't it ironic that with them keeping it illegal, someone who doesn't want to get high can't find the stuff that won't zonk them out?:confused: |
I believe your assessment

for many it help calm them too It help me want to eat I seem to forget and I can't afford that Worried about everyone else but ME It should be available without the THC A patient should have the choice to choose My daughter and her team of doctors are all on board with her use of it There was a program not to long ago Of persons who seek the medicine for the young child he was risking his life for as it isn't legal yet and this baby was suffering over three hundred seizures in a day Where he was on a farm like land where the THC is not in the herb Why wouldn't the big brothers be on top of something they know without DOUBT it WORKS Any relief I welcome as I cannot take any of the medicines to take for the nerve related problems The fibromyalgia on my upper right back A direct result of my cervical neck surgeries Oh jeez I'm getting angry remembering the days I was once able to do the things I love such as cook GONE CAN'T stand for to long CAN'T sit for to long Can't walk for to long Can't lie on my right side CAN'T HUG OR BE TOUCHED It hurts and burns so badly I want my skin pulled from my back Going on three weeks now No indication of letting up Pray weather will get better it has much to do how my body will behave though I must say I do get some needed relief What else is left Me |
Thanks, eva. I did a little more research on the status of the MMJ bill in PA, and it's very discouraging. A bunch of idiots are trying to add tons of amendments to it that will make it impossible for it to ever work. For example, it must be prescribed, but anyone like a doctor or nurse who prescribes it has to have a reserve of $2 million in cash for liability or something. And it has to be FDA-approved MMJ, and of course, there is no such thing!
As for just getting it passed in any form, the PA Speaker of the House refuses to even bring it up for a vote. If they'd just vote on it, it would pass, but he won't let them. He's got some personal bugaboo about it--I read he had a melt-down in a meeting where he broke down sobbing (http://www.politicspa.com/medical-ma...o-tears/70855/). :eek: Then, even if they ever do get around to passing it, it probably won't go into effect for another few years. All I want is to stop feeling like bees are stinging my feet 24/7. Why is that so terrible? What is wrong with these people? Arrrgggghhh! I did read something the other day about a cannabinoid chewing gum that might be available by 2017 (I know, still a long way off) http://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.co...in-spasticity/ Maybe it will be helpful for other conditions too! |
Oh, and I hope your pain lets up for you, eva. I'm so sorry that you hurt so much.:icon_cry:

It hurts so badly
I am lost in my pain
It's one thing not able Or rather just couldn't do anymore trial and error My use of MM Is the only thing that keeps my mind from snapping My pain is so great right now and in the last six weeks a flare up my upper right back I have been without a shirt or anything for that matter My lower back just not worth talking about But the pain is so great I just want to die There is another seven minutes before I start my med intake I have been on the same time upon intake I feel once I begin messing with my clock my body has become used to regimen I do not like having to take any The withdrawal alone is freighting in itself I am under medicated only because I fear becoming a zombie It makes me so bloody angry I just want to die Just knowing my nerves are not calm They are just burning this body up without fire My waist just cut me in half My hands feet just cut them off they do not work upon command I drop everything My neck and base of my skull Someone please just bite it out Just as a animal who hasn't eaten in weeks Rip it out please Just rip it out MM has allowed me some respite I cannot imagine not having it if need be And I need be Being a recovering alcoholic for twenty four years now just drives me nuts Alcohol the culprit for many And there are many who do not loose their privileges to a few drinks To have to know take opioids to give me some relief for my mechanical problems my spasms the small nerves like biting ants all on my back feet hands Taking my meds is a huge mental battle I have no choice in the matter And to think I WILL go through severe withdrawals if I did not have them And yet "I" know there sits a bottle on the shelf Just three shots just three And that numbing feeling just comes over you Twenty four years for what I am screaming in pain Just kill me please And yet I'm not ready to give up the fight yet It is getting harder and harder I have a couple of years left taking my tamoxifen for having the breast cancer That just hit me I still can't believe I had my breasts taken off to eradicate my disease But why do I still feel like I am slowly dying This is not how one should feel Oh if I could explain the horrible feeling I have in my gut It never fails me I know something underlying is going on I still have no explanation as to why the veins in my hands and feet swell burst and cause bruising Go figure No blood runs to the tips of my fingers Or the tips of my toes Only my maker knows my pain And I am scared Me |
