how much do you guys think/know MJ helps with your symptoms?
MA needs to become a medical marijuana state :] |
I'm just starting to try MJ for my Crohn's. The past two weeks, I had been running to the restroom (and barely making it there) 4 to 6 times a day. This past week, I used MJ 4 times, usually after dinner. It quieted my stomach and stopped the spasms that I would get after eating that would cause me to run to the bathroom. I was also able to sleep all night thanks to my stomach/guts not spasming. While my experience with it thus far is limited, I see anecdotal evidence for my situation that it seems to help. I'm too new to MJ as a Crohn's option at this point to comment any further though. I would love to be able to choose different strains to help with my symptoms. More pain relief would be very welcomed. I can deal with the GI tract stuff right now. It's this damn arthritis-like inflammation all over in my joints that is the real kicker right now. Even my jaws are stiff and sore and it makes it tough to chew and open my mouth. What a crazy disease this is, and it seems as though more and more people are getting it all the time.
"Johne's disease" in cattle and how it parallels Crohn's in humans is pretty remarkable. It makes a lot of sense that perhaps it is in the food system since we are such a red meat and dairy loving society. Of course, the FDA wouldn't ever admit as much I'm sure...
