Beautiful pain,

I think if I was in the situation where my Dr appointment was so far in the future I you are hurting so much,,,,,,I would call up & try to get in to see the Dr before your appointment time because of your condition getting so bad.

The use of marijuana is usually used for appetite issues....When I was in the hospital for anorexia at the beginning of this year, I had a Dr come in to check my central line & he was the first one that actually suggested my use of marijuana. I kinda just laughed at first, but he kept telling me how good it works. I told him he could suggest it to my GP & see if he would go for it. Nothing ever came of it......& I don't smoke due to asthma......

As for pain from my migraines, I just couldn't find anything that worked at all...leaving me with one huge migraine that lasted 24/7 for years until I was put on the duragesic fentynal patch which in a high level of narcotics. Works great for the migraines, but in asking my pain specialist about what will happen if I need surgery for anything & it complicates matters so much I hope I never have to experience that.

Hope you can find something better than just taking the pain from an 8 to a 5.5......that wouldn't be good enough for me now that I am used to a 0 now. When I had my horse accident, I was up to a 5.....a 75mg of demoral in the ER helped relieve some of the pain for a while.....but just had to live with the hurting that was above what my fentynal could control.

Good luck...hope your Dr will be able to find a solution that will provide you with more relief that you have right now.

Debbie
