Yes, I know this is probably controversial however...
Anyone live where this is available and have used it to help with headaches or other symptoms?

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

If anything, UCC had the most immediate and profound impact on reducing my stress and anxiety. Weed seems like it has an effect on the brain, and when you're trying to heal it you probably don't want to do to much to it? ALTHOUGH, I think anxiety/stress is worst than weed. Once again, YMMV. |

I used to follow another forum where there were lots of people who live in Colorado. The ones that used it found it provided relief from anxiety but sometimes had a rebound effect. Anything that alters brain chemistry needs to be considered very carefully.

The rebound effects were often the symptoms relieved by the pot. When the high was over, the symptoms returned a bit worse. Like anxiety.
Some used pot to restore a lost appetite.
