Hi there! I'm a noob around here but I just wanted to express my Gratitude and Appreciation for Cannabis! Almost 11 years ago I fell from my mare Cheyenne and broke the sacrum and coccyx, entrapping all 6 branches of the Pudendal nerves. Long story short I have 24/7 excruciating genital pain. I was 5 years in suicidal levels of pain before my surgery. The surgery got the direct pressure off of the nerves so it got me out of the suicidal pain but having been trapped for 5 years they took some damage. I have Faith that my body will heal but until it does I am so FREAKING THANKFUL for Weed! Pharmas do not help this pain so I only take something to sleep but I use the cannabis from morning to night to get me through the days.
My MMJ Doc says that I should be vaping high CBD but I find that I need the highest THC flower they have on the shelf. I have tried several different vaporizers and although I know its been studied and you supposedly get more pain control with vaping, I don't! I have to smoke High THC and often mix Keef, Hash, Shatter or some other type of concentrate. Mixing strains helps too. My best strain for pain is White Widow. Its hard to get though, even being surrounded by dispensaries. It morphs easily so no one wants to grow it. I grew a hybrid last year and it did morph so I can understand why LOL
I had to move out to Colorado to be legal, couldn't handle the added stress of worrying about the PoPo. I Love CO and had been missing it since I left so it wasn't a sacrifice LOL This place feeds me energetically. I will be honest, my lungs aren't too happy with me so I am really looking forward to getting to Atlanta for the cryoablation. I imagine I will still use MJ as I also have spinal cord damage and other conditions but I wont need it every 20 minutes.
Having been a Registered Nurse for 20 years taking care of kids having seizures, I have to say I feel it should be Criminal to withhold cannabis from the kids, well anyone for that matter but I really have a heart for the kids. Sometimes just one dose of oil can stop their seizures!!! Do you realize the effects that some of those pharmas have on them? OMG I was on an antiseizure med for 4 years before my surgery because they use it for nerve pain and it almost put me in a nursing home! Most of those kids are on SEVERAL of those drugs!!
Our healthcare system is seriously messed up! Cannabis is so much safer for them and doesn't have all the toxic effects on their little bodies. It should be legal in all states for medical, period. It should be decriminalized as well in my opinion but that should probably be a different post. Thanks for letting me express myself here.
If you have nerve pain I HIGHLY suggest that you try Cannabis if you haven't. The pain is still there but I can distract from it easier and I can do more physically with MJ. Without it I would have to have my groceries delivered. If you don't want to smoke or vape there are tons of edibles available. My gut has issues so my diet keeps me from eating all the goodies but I do use a pure THC in hemp oil elixir when I can afford it and it works very well. It's made by ReLeaf and is called Delta 9. If anyone needs help getting started I would be glad to help in any way I can :)
