I promised you all I would let you know when I got approved for Medical Marijuana. Judi and I did it. We then went down to Edgewater FL. and got two 500 mg bottles. $70 each. So we were suppose to start with 5 drops (each drop is a mg.) three times a day and slowly work up to 10 drops 3 times a day. Do the math. 16 days for $70. We are both at 5 drops 3 times a day and no relief. I sure hope it starts to ease our pain. Will Keep you posted.

I agree, and I've stated I understand the support is important. There should be a way to not get this many email. A separate subject for just talking would be great. People could get the support they want and the people that want to read about chronic pain can. At this point it takes a lot of time to go through all of the personal discussions to get to the posts that are about chronic pain. I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm in the same situation you all are, there's been enough people complaining and signing off of this list that it seems like the change needs to be made, that's all I was saying. I'm not trying to start trouble.

Sometimes a good remedy for pain is to have a strong support network. There are things you can say here that one may not feel comfortable stating on Facebook. Perhaps there can be a separate thread for emotional and social support?

@jenapower I can get on board with that suggestion. I don't think your the "bad guy" nor am I upset at you in any manner. I think you have a valid point and a good solution to the problem.

Thanks, I've been hesitant to say anything, I really do understand that talking is important and having connection is important. I spend most of my time lying in bed on ice or on the couch on ice too. It would be good to separate some of it. Everything here has been super helpful to me and I appreciate all of it.

I am so sorry to hear about your Kitty. I know how attached I am to mine, one of whom may have Lymphoma. Tests are being run. I also think it is so necessary to have support and social interaction. I was a Rehab Meds Therapist for a number of years.

@oldkarl

Peach, the real downer here is that the closest real hospital with pain management, etc, is almost a hundred miles away. And we have a lot of speeders here, not real tourists, but folks who think they can drive 80 mph along the coast on roads built for 35 mph. Then they pile up on a 15 mph curve, at one of our most beautiful spots, and complain about the bad roads and slow drivers. If they want to drive 80, they should go over to I-5 which runs from Vancouver BC to San Diego.

Are you interested in any Church Activities? Ours is very community oriented and our seniors are very well cared for. I also do water aerobics at the Senior Center, and I know there are a lot of programs there too.
