Lyme disease and MM

Greetings Lyme disease sufferers and those that are interested in this topic.

I am writing this because I am a chronic sufferer. The disease goes in and out of remission. The disease got so bad that I now have Epilepsy. Within the last 2 months I have gone down hill, it came out of remission.

While researching Lyme and MM I really didn't find anything on the Internet. In fact there is very little information about chronic Lyme and whether it exists. Often I find the doctor's refuse to treat me because they refuse to acknowledge it exists.

Since I cannot find a forum that talks about this I thought GC would be a good place to maybe find other Lyme sufferers that use marijuana as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory?

 

I can't do oxy's. I fell into a minoraddiction for 2 and a half weeks when I did them for these exact symptoms. I wouldn't call it an addiction but more of a dependency. BTW I searched through my parents drug cabinet yesterday I've been smoking for half my life and it does relieve pain. It numbs it, the arthritis, nausea, and back pain. Because I take 8 meds during the day it especially helps with the nausea.

Why do you say it does not relieve pain? Do you speak from experience from being ill or just being a pothead. LOL. I am interested because I need to find those with ailments similar to mine rather than circumstantial 'I am a pot head'. Please don't take this the wrong way but I endeavor to legitimize all responses.

I am also interested in the various strains that are used to treat these symptoms. Are the higher amount of CBD's better than higher levels of THC?

 

Avoidance of dependency is what MMJ legalization is for. All of the pills I am on bring me down. The last thing I need is me on pills drooling like a zombie!

 

So far...I can't find more, but I know they have got to be out there. I don't know many Rx MM research sites.

 

Seriously? Are you in the US?

 

smokin, thanks for your kind words. It's crazy how many people don't know about it. It exists all over the world. Doctors refuse to acknowledge long term infections and chronic persistent damage and pain. It's a damn shame.

 

Tests often don't pick up on lyme. There are a lot of false negatives. Doctors usually go by the standard practice - if in doubt give antibiotics. Which I agree with. Why take a chance?

Did you take antibiotics?

 

I suffer from bad pain all over my body. My neurological problems are severe and are with me for the rest of my life.

Someone mentioned to me Northern Lights are good for the pain. Keep us updated on the strains. I am very interested in caregiving for people with Lyme and other sever diseases but it's illegal in my state. Blah.

I'm sorry to hear about the bell's palsy. That's rough. I never got that. It went straight to my brain and gave me grand mal seizures that took years to stabilize.

I am an advocate and am not afraid to tell people. My doc gave me Marinol but that stuff is garbage.

 

Great keep us informed! I am glad this thread is slowly growing.

Growing a strain high in CBDs is what I want to do also.

So you basically have had it almost as long as I have. I'm 32 and got it at about 2 or 3.

Do they have you on any neurological meds if you don't me asking? You can PM me if you want.

I found some meds helped clear my brain fog since I am half dazed. No one can tell if I've smoked or not. Lol.

Keep us up to date as to which strains you like.

I was thinking about doing my harvest in two separate batches. One where the trichs are cloudy and another when they more amber for relaxation. Does that make sense?

I'm a noob and won't be harvesting for a long time. I'm working with bag seed to begin with.

 

Please do! If you can provide a link to that review it would be great. There is no information on Lyme and MJ. There has been no research on this subject and I hope people will be able to find this easily.
