Re: Demon Marijuana vs. FibroBeast - A QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Yes.. Exactly I am in Canada.. So it might be easier . I am going to be

doing some research

I mean how much worse can it be when you compare it to all the other strong

meds we could be prescribed

Not that I would be driving a car .. Or anything like that. I would just

like to feel normal. OMG normal.. I said that dreaded N word.. LOL

Some days with the pain you start to believe the other peoples hype.. You

start to think I just have to push through and suck it up..

I know that's not true.. But emotionally chronic pain can really get to you.

I am a mom.. And a great community person who is very active.. It kills me

to be sidelined like this

It seemed to really hit me with early onset menopause.

-- Re: Demon Marijuana vs. FibroBeast - A QUESTION

Hey, I was wondering. I know that they do make a drug called marinol which

is some type of marijuana based medication. I don't know if it is in every

state or not. I also am not sure it works the same way as the real stuff.

But... I wonder if they have ever considered RX it for fibro? I know it is

prescribed for nausea and to improve appetite...(I don't need the appetite

part... LOL).

Just a question. Guess I need to look it up and learn more about it. However

I will say that if marijuana is the one thing that helps someone with this

illness, it should be legally prescribed. Of course, the drug itself has

such a stigma it probably would not be prescribed.

OK for the record I'm not smoking pot however if it were legal I would be in

line@ where ever the hell it would be available BECAUSE when it comes to

nerve pain Lyrica can't hold a candle to it!!!

Just to chime in on the marijuana question, if it was legally available in

Texas, I would qualify for it, and I would use it. I do wish that they could

come up with some synthetic form, however, that would contain the same benefits

as marijuana but without the " munchies " side effect. I'm afraid I'd be the size

of a small blimp if I smoked pot regularly!

It defintely does a lot more for pain and muscle tension than most Rx

medications I've tried over many years. Of course, I find that scotch works

pretty well, too, and it's legal!
