Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Donna, I live in California and will be moving to Oregon in jan. I am a MMJ patient and I have a prescription. I have used it for my chronic pain, depression and severe muscle cramps and nausea for over 3 years now. It has been proven that it treats chronic pain, plus a huge number of other problems. It is safer than your prescription meds and for me, it's the one thing that works when nothing else does. Plus there are many different ways of taking it - not just smoking but you can consume it as well. If you want more info, I could get you some links. I can either post them here if others are interested or you can email me privately. What state are you in? Whitney infinite242@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi Donna: I am not shy... I have never used marijuana and i am 56 years old. However, i have been reading about it and the positive affects it has. I would urge you to try it , as I feel we should try anything to help ourselves. Since you live in a state that marijuana is legal, why not try it.? we live in such a stressful world; we have an illness that is not recognized by many.... We need all the help and support that we can get. I am a counselor/psychotherapist and my motto is: If we do not help ourselves; then who will? Always remember, you have support from other cfids/fms survivors. Because thats what we are ! Survivors that have managed to get thru one more day that was not easy; however, we made it ! Please keep us informed how the medical marijuana works for you. I hope it helps you ! To your health !
