Re: Pot Drug May Cut Fibromyalgia Pain

Hey thanks for the information. I suffer from muscle-wasting, and the only thing I could find to stop it is administered by IV infusion or injection. This drug is good for Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis, too, according to Wikipedia (free online encyclopedia. I have been talking to 2 of my docs about ways to stop the muscle-wasting between treatments. This just might be the one, and it is new, approved by FDA in 2006.

Oh Heidi,

I looked it up on my prescription health plan, and it is covered. It is off-label use, which means that the capsule (not the weed that you could smoke if it were legal) was designed for vomiting and sluggish appetite in cancer victims.

There have been other drugs approved for just the same reason with THC. But none of my doctors could prescribe it for me because they are neither oncologists nor Infectious Diseases. It is a controlled substance and apparently gives a minor "buzz". But then, my Vicodin 10/660 HP does that already.

I definitely agree, if one doesn't need the weight, they probably ought to do something else. But I am tiny, so I really need the weight. In fact, I am baking apple brownies right now -- no chocolate in these brownies, just apples and friendly sugars -- Beckie

That is just TOO funny! I promise, if you could send me just 10 pounds that you don't want, I could lose it all and be back next week asking for another 10 pounds. That's fat that I am asking, not pot. LOL!!! And I really DO need it. I am almost at the end of the time prescribed for additional testosterone that has packed some muscle back on me..

Eh! I am in the legal profession. Judges are vastly over-rated at certain times and under certain circumstances. If you were caught, you just plead insanity. Is there that much difference between fibro fog? and the slowness of mind that goes with smoking? I don't know. Haven't seen studies on it. But my mind is sure gone compared to 5 years ago. LOL!

Heidi, the Pot drug is on the market, requires a Drs prescription. If I remember right, it does not have the chemicals that you get high from in the marijuana. I have a friend who has MCS who tried it to help with her fibro and dystonia pain, it did help the fibro pain but didn't do much for the pain she gets from the dystonia. She didn't complain about it giving her the munchies.

Medical grade marijuana has different strengths and some cause more of the munchies, others don't. Indica is the one strain that we should all use, as it is specifically for chronic pain. I don't know where other people live but here in Calif. plus 13 other states medical marijuana is legal as long as your doctor gives you a prescription. It also allows you the freedom to grow your own if you the a private place to do that in. I can thank mother earth for creating this wonderful, natural plant. There are no 'chemicals' that you are smoking, it's not like smoking a cigarrete. The high comes from absorbing the THC, which is the active ingrediant in marijuana. You can also get capsules that just contain THC but these are also very strong. And you can get or make pot butter, as I do most of the time and then bake with that. Consuming it is wonderful, it takes longer to take effect but it also lasts much longer. You learn to live with the buzz. Once you get used to it, you can pretty much do whatever you want on it. MMJ is the only thing that is garenteed to work on my severe pain 100% of the time, when everything else fails. It is natures miracle drug. I'd rather do THC then any chemical prescription medication any day. Be aware., for those looking to get a prescription for the pot drug itself, it is not as strong and therefore the people I know who previously took it, it did not have the same effect on their pain and other symptoms + it is insanely expensive compared to the price of buyiing MMJ locally or at a club. So just keep that in mind!

You know I have struggled with being overly fluffy my whole life. And one day I was in the ladies room at work and there was this girl named Theresa in there combing her hair. She had on white jeans and some kind of shirt. I said wow you look so thin in those Theresa - she said I've been drinking high calorie shakes for 3 weeks trying to put on enough weight so I didn't look like a stick in them. I just looked at her - I said Theresa, I can't even relate to that. She started laughing and she said you know being too skinny is just as bad as being too fat - only people pick on you more! LOL I never thought about it that way. A very very good male friend of mine was saying he had to loose his 'handles'. I said you look good the way you are - he looked at me and said just because I am thin doesn't mean I don't struggle with self-image the same way you do. I shut up . He's right! Can send enough

That's OK. I have struggled with being a twig my whole life. I also eat a lot, so I get more ribbing than other thin people do. You can send me a dime (10 pounds ) at a time for as long as it lasts. Thoughtfulness about how the other side feels helps a lot, too. Thanks, and hugs back atcha!

So glad I could elicit a chuckle. Laughter is truly the best medicine. For being so deathly ill with drastic weather change from shorts, tank top, sunshine and 80 degrees yesterday to snow and sub-freezing in North Texas IN MARCH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!, I am feeling absolutely victorious in conquering the day's battles. And I have laughed today, miracle of all miracles!

People seem to forget about munchies, as well as possible addiction

and its attendant problems, to say nothing of the fact that smoking

pot puts more tar into the lungs than cigarettes do. Maybe this

ingredient will turn out not to be the munchie causing one.

But it has always seemed to me that if the medical benefits of pot

were so wonderful the drug companies would seize on it and their

powerful lobby would work to change the existing laws against it.

I am reminded that in the late 1800's, even Freud thought that cocaine

was the answer to many ills--and we know what happened with that. A

medical historian taught me that drugs come in and out of fashion as

new generations forget what former generations learned about their ills.

Apple Brownies

Courtesy of Cookies by Curtis

210-646-5891

11200 Perrin Beitel, "Sweet 513"

San , TX 78217

2/3 cup butter

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup sugar (or sugar substitute)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1-1/2 cups flour (use a little less for whole-grain flours)

2 txp. baking powder

1/4 tsp salt (I use sea salt)

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup chopped apples, peeled and cored (tart apples like Granny work best)

Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside

Place softened butter in mixing bowl and beat in both sugars till fluffy. Add eggs one at a time mixing well between each addition. Add vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture while mixing on low speed. Scrape edges of the bowl as necessary with plastic spatula, as needed. When thoroughly mixed, cover and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.

Pour 2 Tbsp of lemon juice and several ice cubes in a 2 quart bowl and fill with cold water. As you peel the apples, place them in lemon juice bath to prevent browning. As soon as all apples are peeled, cored and chopped, drain the water and ice, fold apples and pecans into the batter.

Grease a 9X9 pan (line the bottom with parchment paper for easiet removal of cooked brownies. As an alternative, you can dust the greased pan with Hershey's cocoa, removing the extra -- much the same way you would flour a greased pan for light-colored cakes). And pour batter in the pan. Place in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes. Cover the pan with foil and cut one or two slits in the foil to prevent over browning. Check every 5 to 15 minutes with a knife or toothpick. Cool on a wire rack when done.

Serve warm with Vanilla or Cinnamon ice cream for sessert. Or serve warm with butter for breakfast.

For a 9 X 13 pan, double the ingredients. Cover with foil after 30 min, and plan to cook 45 minutes to an hour, checking every 15 minutes.

That's right. Fibromyalgia is usually the first diagnoses before patients finally get the real diagnoses of CFIDS, Gulf War Illness, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gerig's Disease (ALS) usually many years later, when it is too late to attack the cause of disease. And all but CFIDS always include muscle wasting. All but the first one end in premature death. There is no cure, and nothing to slow down the process. There are many prescription drugs to lessen the pain that intensifies as all of the above-mentioned diseases progress. A couple are morphine and hospital-grade Vicodin.

Re: Pot Drug May Cut Fibromyalgia Pain

Just want to make sure that others know that muscle-wasting is NOT afeature of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia does not change any bodilystructures. Barbara>> Hey thanks for the information.
