All my best goes out to you on this thread. Stay strong, and fuck the man, do whatever you got to do.
You know, its almost alarming how little attention Crohn's gets in the media. It's such a debilitating disease, and more and more people seem to have it. I never would have thought about cannabis until I saw the news article that MN was up for a vote on MMJ. After trying about 14 different medications with no improvement, I figured I had nothing to lose, so here I am. I'm also tired of doctors just throwing medication at me before they do any sort of diagnostic testing. I've been helped greatly in some regards by the medical community (my insulin pump has been great for example.) But with Crohn's, and combined with my Diabetes, the docs don't seem to know what to do for me since the two diseases like to fight with each other.
