I'm a chronic pain patient as well DDD, Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, depression, anxiety,need knee replacement BADLY, get RFA every 3-4yrs in Cervical/degenerative disc disease, & Thoracic every 4yrs, now beginning stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis in hands, elbows bursitis & lwr back bulging/herniated discs, & sciatica in lwr buttocks & both hips!!! I was on Pain meds over 10yrs & now off pain meds 4yrs now on Medical Cannabis. Works GREAT for me. I take 1 capsule after breakfast always w/about 1"inch sized piece of cheese so it absorbs better & will not irritate my stomach. I have no gallbladder/I get ⛽/GAS & cheese or avocado or small yogurt is perfect lining & helps the cannabis adhere to it. As we humans all have endocanoboid system we are all different & our dosage & type of medical cannabis style or dosage of each item or style varies start at lowest dosage & mix & match till you find what works for you!!! Also make no mistake Medical Cannabis is not a wonder drug but for me I have ALOT of different health issue's & it helps btr than when I took my opiate pain med towards the end. My body reached a stage that my MS Contin ER & regular Nucynta & Hydromorphone were not helping me enough all I had was constant headaches, stomach aches & more pain & I had to use migraine inhalers Imitrex wrk great for migraines . So I just wanted to explain that unlike ALOT of PPL who take THC & think ohh my God I'm gonna be a stoner or some junkie NO you are not!!! I do not consider myself a stoner because I do not get that high/EUPHORIC feeling like most ppl do from THC. I take 20:1 Pharmacaan Brand capsule blue/white capsules sometimes 2x a day on really bad days. I get it thru a dispensary called Curaleaf in N.Y.C. it feels Just like taking a Pain med, but with ALOT less side effects for me. I no longer take stomach remedies or migraine sprays. Just like everyone whoever has Chronic pain & has been on Pain meds will tell you we do not get Euphoria because we need the MEDICINE to lower our PAIN IN PLAIN ENGLISH. IT IS VERY BENEFICIAL FOR US CHRONIC PAIN INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SEVERE LIVING HELL DAY IN & DAY OUT LIVING IN CONSTANT TORTURE TO HAVE MEDICATIONS THAT CAN EASE OUR SUFFERING.
Some people try buying CBD Hemp oil & think it is the same CBD . I got news for you if it's not MEDICAL CANNABIS it is not going to help you like MEDICAL CANNABIS WILL.
I force myself to WALK every day & I managed to lose 27lbs since I have been taking. Medical Cannabis, & now I enjoy being outdoors much more than I did when I was on Pain meds. But like I said we are all different w/different issue's & what works for me may not work for you or vice-a -versa. Pain Warrior & still moving w/cane & braces. Peace & Strength.
