Marinol in Fl

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by Budbro93, Sep 12, 2011.

  1. So I'm 18 and have been suffering from Fibromyalgia, nausea, and literally no appetite. For 7 months I was taking Ultram to help with the pain, but it made me sicker than the disease I already have. I'm 6ft, and as of today 112.4lbs.

    Before, when i was in a similar state of health, i found cannabis to be extremely helpful, especially with memory, energy levels, and appetite. On a small amount of cannabis I was happy, healthy, and regularly active, but all that changed when my parents caught me and nearly had me arrested at,the age of 17. Since then ive been managing as best as I can, but because of the pain and outright suffering I endure I had to be removed from public school shortly after being caught.

    The only reason I have not been hospitalized from further waisting is my brother who would share what little he,had with me, but not enough to get me back to the 130 that i was with my own supply. Jobless, and unable to do simple tasks without difficulty most days I'm still at home, trying to do my senior year at my Alma Mater, which to has been difficult is a gross understatment.

    My only source of income to put yowards this great medicine has been a $20 allowance for lunch every 2 weeks, which means about 2.5g of high grade which i must ration each day in order to be able to eat. I am naturally thin and tall but I look like a holocaust survivor now.

    Its been a long road seeing doctors, having tests run that come back fine, and waiting months just to see a specialist who would then direct me to another. Finally, I have seen a pain specialist who will consider perscribing me that hipocracy in a pill, but since I failed the drug test requored by state law when i visited him 3 weeks ago monday, Ive been detoxing for a week now.

    So, my pysch/addiction evaluation is tomorrow at 8:30am and after that I will see my doc. and hopefully, FINALLY get some god damn help. I didnt think popping positive for the only thing my nuerologist and I had agreed was the only thing keeping me from dying a slow painful death of starvation would matter, but apparently you cant perscribe marijuana pills to someone on...marijuana.

    So, assuming I can finally get the perscription, does anyone know of I can suppliment it with whole cannabis and not get caught on a drug screen at the doc?

    I wouldnt be doing any of this if it werent for my mother, the more sensible parent and the one who supports me trying marinol before I just self medicate completely with whole cannabis, though she doesn't neccessarily agree with mmj, we are compromising as I have more faith in my nutsack than pharmacuticals. So, having tried pills and literally being made ill or having reactions to the antidepressants I tried such as no feelings/change in persona, pharma simply doesn't work for me.

    And especially since Ive been off the Ultram for 5 days now, Ive felt better and can eat a little better, but still no appetite. I can feel my stomach fill and empty but eating gives no pleasure or comfort, if anything it causes pain and I have to fight to keep down what food I can eat.

    Any advice with the doc/marinol or drabinol would be helpful. If this doesnt work im using my vape and going to save up to move to an mmj state. Ahh yes and I also have nuerocardiogenic syncope, which i cant say is irritated by cannbis consumption, but is also debilitating

    If your financial resources allow it, i'd move to a mmj state.

    Your parents sound like they are just too closed minded to allow you to be healthy and happy

    I understand with an illness it might be financially impossible to move, but you have to do what's best for you.

    And if your parents don't want you to be happy and healthy, I really don't know what to tell you, that doesn't sound very parent like to me

    edit: im sorry, i didnt read the last bit of your post, its good your saving up to move and thats exactly what you need to do.
