Drama Free Area For Patients


Recommended Posts

Hi folks!

 

This is entirely new to me. I suffer from fibromyalgia, fatigue, muscle spasms, and degenerating disk disease.

 

Although the traditional medicines helped for awhile, my system has become immune to them. Now I need twice the amount of pain killers, and muscle relaxers to find relief. So I am looking for alternatives.

 

I am a senior, who's husband has MS, and is legally blind that I am responsible for. I am also responsible for most of the household duties, i.e. yards, house, shopping, etc. So being "high", or tired, is not an option for me.

 

I just received my MMMA card, and have tried a couple of the eatables. Both times, I found it relieved my pain, and I didn't need any other medications. However, my problem is that it seems to make me very tired, so I know I'll only be able to use it at night. Is there anything I should know, or any suggestions that anyone could give me to get past the "tired" issue?

 

No, I don't smoke, I quit regular cigarettes twenty years ago. But I might be willing to inhale once or twice a day if that's what's needed.

 

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Bobbie

 

Try a sativa.  Tray a vaporizer.

You are looking for a high CBD strain, or a Sativa.

 

A Sativa depending on the strain can actually energize you,  A CBD strain although rare will have very high pain relief with very little mood altering.  Vaporizing or smoking will be a more dirrect way into your blood stream over edibles, tinctures are also an option or capsules.

 

The key is to get a solid caregiver, if you don't know anyone then send me a PM I can probably recommend one for you.

 

Have a good day and be well

One of the oldest extractions I know of used to treat a myriad of skin disorders, but is not for combustion, is found in the bible. The oil and its recipe is explained there, and only a few ingredients are used, one being cannabis buds. Its a great topical, proven and keeps the title of "anointing oil" by those who use it.

 

some scholars believe that the leprosy  of the times is actually a misinterpretation, with the real disorder treated being called psoriasis, in any case it was a superb topical, and I know people that use it daily.

Yes i have heard of a person who had Really really bad psoriasis and they said it took away the constant itching and pain.. Im not sure if that will be the same as nerve pain.. But my patient who has neuropathy in his feet says the oil takes away the burning feeling he gets from the neuropathy.. Good luck to you my friend..

I had psoriasis when I was younger, I had the type that was on the bottom of my feet and palms of my hands, I wouldnt wish that on my worse enemy,, a realy good personal friend of mine has psoriasis pretty much all over him accept the bottoms of his feet and palms of hands, I slipped him enough of a topical to see if it would work on parts of his body that realy disturbed him. like his waiste line and ankles, It seemed to work well for him, but he needs a whole lot more than I can get for him, I had mine when I was a youngster in like 4th grade, I had it the whole school yr, it went away about august, at the time my mother found me some new topical that you could get over the counter in them days (early 70's, 72 or 73) and at the same time I was turned on to mj by some of the hippies kids in my neighbor hood lol!

 

I went thru all of the treat ments of the time, I had to stand in a booth with ultra violet lite for around a half hr a few times a week, nothing was helping, when I got out of school for the summer (I COULDNT STAND MY TEACHER) and started smoking mj, old skewl (red bud, rainbow,gold, all columbian, tye stick. monkey paw, cali sensi)  It finaly went away and never came back, I was always told I could possibly out grow it or I could have it the rest of my life!

 

I had it so bad I could Not walk home from school, which was only 20 houses away! on days I thought I could and didnt call my mom to come get me, I wound up crawling till she came and found me, It was the worst thing ive ever had, well chicken pocks at 28 yrs old was pretty fricking bad also!

 

The topical We tried on my friend came from a friend on here, we were pleasently surprised, I havent tried to make the whole recipee yet, but feel the need to do it soon. or find the man who makes it, and find some one with a stash of bho to add to it, I would much rather make my own bho, but as we all know it is not legal at this time and may never be, maybe they dont like it becuase the bho also stands for barrack heisane obama, but what ever the case alot of people are missing on a good medicine because our government considers mm a schedule 1 narcotic with no medicinal values, I bet if they had the psoriasis like I or my friend and many others have they would be willing to do more studys, and all the cancer pts and other aligments that it cures or helps imensly with,  I guess if they havent been thru it or stared at because they have pretty nasty looking skin they dont care!

 

Peace

 

I realy think it is time for me to start saying free the weed again, aka FTW

 

edit= the topical I had from a friend on here was pb  oil

Phaque....whatever you do,DO NOT let the Drs talk you into using the biologics,like Embrel or Humaira. If you want to know about them from the pts point of view and use,you can ask me,okay?

No mine went away man, Thank muhamid lol! but my life long friend has it, and the topical I had worked but like I said he would need so much p.b oil it would cost more than his meds they give him, which he dont take, he takes a long bath every morning so the stuff gets soft and he trys his best to get most off, but its back by bed time, I cant believe it hasnt slowed him down, I have never seen a case of it as bad as his, he says he is so happy he dont have the type I had, hands and feet, I guess there are different types, I would get cracks in the bottom of my feet that were as deep as my foot and as long as them, at times I could not walk!

 

Peace

I'm a patient with a designated caregiver who has moved 70 miles away. When the State of Michigan made dispensaries illegal caregiver associations in my area were only to happy to fill the void, however only caregivers have access and the ability to acquire meds, leaving the patient without direct access to the program for which it was created. Is there any way to acquire meds other then through my caregiver, without getting rid of my caregiver. It seems to me that designating a caregiver shouldn't prevent the patient from acting on their own behalf. What does the law say?

The law is a short document. It is without question the best place to start. Perhaps you will be so kind to read it and get back with us if you still have questions.

really ? you think by giving your hard earned money to them(called financial support), for a gamble to make yourself some cash, is actually taking advantage of them ?

 

  I don't like supporting my enemies with my dollars, regardless of the return, just me though, lots do.

Stay away from the TNFs and biologics. They work,but the side effects AFTER are horrible. I see the pharm companies are really pushing them now. Time to invest in biologics. Take advantage of your enemy.....take their MONEY.

TNF biologicals saved my life and I have no side effects from them at all.

 

We talked about this in PM J. You had problems after you quit them.

His oncologist is filling out paperwork to get the card but I here it will be awhile before he gets it. Wish it would hurry he needs relief now. On so many meds to stop nausea but none of its working. So confused about caregivers what is legal what is not. Help any info in easy to understand language welcomed.

Hello lost one. Go on CraigsList and search 'caregiver' and see what is out there. Be careful, just like buying anything else off of Craigs. Meet at a 7 11, Mc Donalds, or somewhere with cameras so you don't get mugged. Take some muscle with you if available. You could possibly have a sample to try today. Remember that a patient with a doctors rec can buy anywhere they want to. No REAL patients are getting busted for buying less than 2.5 ounces. Just make sure you sent in that paperwork certified mail first. Your only risk is getting scammed or mugged. But that's the same with anything of value you buy.
