Hello. I am Christine 77 and from Sydney Australia. I have just joined this group. I have many chronic diseases . The pain , muscle spasm and immobility, I have comes from fibromyalgia and severe osteo arthritis . Because of severe asthma and lung disease I have never been able to have surgery for the arthritis. I had to fight the system for two years jumping through hoops and seeing unhelpful pain specialists to finally be prescribed opiates. I now find life worth living. I have found medical cannabis very helpful particularly for muscle spasm.
I will not vent today but keep all of you in my prayers.

@christine2076 I'm glad that the opiates are helping you. Just be careful as they can become addictive requiring increased dosages. Trying to get off them can be very problematic. Yes. I will pray for you right now. Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer for Christine. May she continue to find relief from her meds without becoming addicted. Amen.
