To @afibber bec I do not respond to all the pain meds one can think of, and<br>even needle procedures for my chronic back pain, I was recently tried by a<br>medical person, on an electric smoker with oil of marijuana. I tried it<br>under a controlled circumstance with this medical person watching over me.<br>Having never inhaled a cigarette I had a hard time - coughing, and hurt<br>with burning in throat.<br>Finally inhaled about 3x's with no reaction. In the evening again, 4x's I<br>cannot get a reaction. I am apparently immune to this the same as strong<br>meds. Cannot get rid of pain. Looked it up on cmptr and found that some are<br>immune to it. Imagine my surprise. Medical marijuana pills are very<br>expensive when I looked it up, and I can see it would do no good.<br>@ladyjane85<br><br>

You might want to try a DNA/genetic profile to assess what pain medications would work better for you.
Ask your doc..they are available.

Is there a name for this testing process? This could be exciting! Thanks!!<br>

@vickiekay it is call pharmacogenetic testing also know as PGx or monecular profiling.

Yes it is very exciting!! 🙂

Mix any essential oils with a pure base oil, like coconut, before ingesting even one drop. Some oils can be very irritating to your mouth or system. Peppermint oil is helpful for pain as well as gastrointestinal issues. I get migraines from odors, however. So I use a roll-on applicator on the bottom of my feet. It is absorbed extremely efficiently, while keeping the strongest smells as far away from my nose and brain as possible. Good luck!
