Someone should switch to LEDs
This thread needs some Yacking! lol We should share what works for us. For instance, CBD healed my back and I now can walk distances without a wheelchair. CBD healed my brain damage, I could not read a paragraph and retain it, now I teach others. THC and CBD has kept MS in remission, I am Relapsing/Remitting, I was at Secondary progressive before I started eating cannabis oil.
We need to share what has worked for us to help others.
I still have to use a diabetic med, but cannabis oil got me off insulin. I think you need to worry more about CBD, although THC can interact with meds, if you can not eat grapefruit with a pharma med, you should not use CBD.
That’s something I only found out about recently and good to know. A lot of chemo meds don’t like grapefruit as it, like CBD interfere with an enzyme that can cause the pharma meds to either not reach the right levels so dosage needs to be upped or can cause other meds to accumulate making blood levels too high.
Definitely need to discuss this with your doctor/specialist and hope they can work with it. I think if I were forced to choose I’d stick with the CBD and THC therapy but that doesn’t always work so kind of a crap shoot. Lost a dear friend recently to breast cancer who refused chemo and was doing a gram a day of RSO when she succumbed. Cancer had got into her brain and everywhere else.
If your doc is going to be sending you for drug level monitoring and you know he/she isn’t cool about pot then you could say nothing and they will adjust your meds once they have results.
Stay safe!
Using CBD is doable, but the issue would be you would need to find a doc willing to do blood test to find the correct dosage of pharma med. Wish we had more “tools” as laymen out here, that did not cost an arm and leg. If we could do our own blood testing would be great.
Issue with breast cancer, if hormone driven you can actually make it worse if high dose THC< should be high dose CBD for hormone driven cancers. All users need some CBD, it is the cannabinoid that keeps cancer from metastasizing. But depending on the cancer rather should be high dose THC Or CBD. Hormonal is normally advised 3:1 CBD to THC< non hormonal, most but not all general advice is 3:1 high THC to CBD.
Recently I went to the Dentist Office for a consultation and possibly a crown instead I was subjected to an unnecessary cleaning and two crowns that have since been causing me extreme pain to the point where I am lying on the floor curled into a ball they prescribed me hydrocodone and since I started taking it things got worse my body started hurting worse my organs etc. today I made a switch to a cannabis lemonade from the local store. 200 mg feeling better I went and picked up some RSO for this evening waiting to go back to the same dentist office so they can “work on my teeth that are hurting me again”. But I am swearing off those pills I was sweating bullets and shivering not sure why but I would rather use thc and cbd over synthetic drugs that don’t really help. The only thing that is lame is the stores don’t have the old school RSO and tinctures that were stronger but I will use what I can get, I use cannabis for my arthritis but stopped buying from the stores and I am waiting on my own crop. I keep my MMJ card renewed every year. Now with trying pharmaceuticals and then trying cannabis as medicine I will stay with MMJ never opioid pills. Tonight I will sleep much better and comfortably without pills you are supposed to get better after seeing a medical professional doctor or dentist so I am very upset with the treatment they gave me and how I’ve had to suffer for two plus weeks after. My appetite was very low on the pills and I couldn’t even eat because the pain and sleep was hard to come by I would be in pain all night long at home until 5-6 in the morning then pass out and then get ready for work misery is how I felt. Yesterday was the straw that broke the camels back for me.
Hi Brother/Sister. I’ve experienced this phenomenon. A very experienced Nurse at the pain clinic I attend explained with the incresed relief of Opoids and how well they mitigate pain initially, That when they wear off the pain can feel much greater.
It may be that? That is a bummer that the RSO & Tinctures are not fully loaded so to speak. As for the withdrawls from Opiates with the shivers and sweats. Take a roasting hot shower you will notice your jaw/teeth chattering like you do in the cold, Ride it out until feel a break in that and feel a slight warmth wash over you, Go light on eating and lots of enjoyable fluids like warm lemonade ect
Wish there was something else I could suggest. I live with chronic pain each day and would not wish it on any other human being. Stay strong
Update on the crowns I stopped taking the pills after the pain increased and rode it out. Then they finally finished the job after two months of back and forth appointments. So now I am back to halfway normal again. After being hospitalized this past summer for Anemia which I have further testing to do to find out the root cause. And all the wacky things I have had this summer. I’m back in the gym again doing Muay Thai and it feels great to be able to do that again. My garden is looking good work is good. I just want to add a lady in my life and I keep not asking her out. I work with her and I feel there is a mutual attraction and we have some basic common interests. I’m a cook and part of me wants to try and ask her to let me cook dinner for her at home but then I feel that I should choose something with less pressure like a regular date and being in this industry I am pretty picky about the place I want to go out to for a date etc. so I’m taking a leap of faith this week and shooting my shot and whatever happens happens it’s life
I would let you cook at home for me anytime. Maybe do something after.
Can we say courtly love
@G-paS i miss ya, how have you been?
Doing OK. I have been dealing. It hasn’t helped that my laptop if latterly falling apart. This is the one I got during covid because they didn’t know how long it would take to fix the one I had.
I tried getting that one going but I can’t get it to look like, act like and have the stuff saved on this one. So, I have to site and hold this one together to use it. I’ll never buy another that folds back like a tablet. This is the second one that the hinges have broken on.
I have had the grandkids and also trying to get ready for 3 cruises I have booked. I am waiting on a couple strains for the fall boxes so trying to get them out before I leave on the first.
How are you doing?
I am doing good. Been care taking for a family member also doing a ton of work around the property, got a orchard planted last spring and its starting to take. Getting ready for hunting season. And taking care of the little one. Super busy with everything. But im enjoying it all. Someday i want to go on a cruise. Sounds relaxing.
What’s your favorite kind of food? I had a MacBook that I bought several years ago I used for getting all these ancient manuscripts and now it doesn’t work anymore and I have to figure out a way to get them off my laptop and onto another computer or something. So I feel you on the whole laptop thing. I work as a cook/shucker currently.
