experience with medical marijuana

[Guest guest]

I've had a really steep increase in pain in my feet, legs & now my hands, and I

have an appointment with my neuro to discuss pain medication. I'm hesitant about

moving up to opiates or narcotic drugs. Neurontin didn't work well for me, I'm

currently on Cymbalta which has helped, but I feel that isn't enough now.

A friend who has severe back pain is getting relief from marijuana. Medical

marijuana is legal in California with a doctor's prescription. She doesn't smoke

it, but takes it orally. Before I see my neuro, I would like to know if any of

you have used medical marijuana, and what your experience has been.

Thanks

Be kind. Everyone you meet is struggling with something.

My husband got too lethargic with it although it helped with the pain. Now

he's on Provigil and Effexor XR and functioning much better mentally. Please

forgive me if I duplicate other posts. because we just got back from a 16 day

Middle East cruise and I am late in reading these posts.
