Kidney Problems and Diabetes

Hey guys. Been a T1 diabetic for 19 years, im 26 now. Ive recently developed kidney problems (still in the process of finding out exactly what it is, waiting for blood results today, could be kidney stones, kidney infection, and i hope to god its not kidney disease.)

Ive just been constantly feeling intense nausea since a week ago, with throbbing pains where my kidneys are. I wake up sick as a dog but eases out into something more manageable after i flush my system with water and herbal tea.

I was smoking to get rid of the nausea but im guessing smoking at this point isnt very helpful. I started making edibles (medicated coconut oil) and wow what a difference it makes in how i feel. The nausea is diminished greatly although i do still feel it in the background.

It just makes me wish cannabis was legal here. I want access to organic cannabis, access to information on how it was grown, etc. Im tired of the UK being stuck in the stone ages.

Its a shame because although the edibles seem to make me feel better im just not sure what else went into the bud that i could be consuming that might be harsh on my kidneys. It would be amazing to have this medically available.

I got into this position with my kidneys because of neglecting my diabetes. Smoking, drinking, etc. If only I could rewind time I would have stuck to edibles and never drank alcohol. It really is a silent killer its not like there were any pre warning signs that my kidneys were in trouble I just woke up one morning sick as hell.

Anyone know of how one can help in the UK to push for medical cannabis?

Thanks

 

Ive been looking online apparently if the cannabis is not grown organically and youre smoking it, it could be harmful to your kidneys because of all the chemical fertilizers etc.

If anyone has further information on cannabis and kidneys that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
