I've been in misery for years and it's getting worse. The last pain doc said I should be using Medical MJ and it would be the safest thing for me to take. You don't have to keep upping it like many other drugs and it will relax me + take my pain away & help me sleep.. I'm all for that but can't find a pain doc willing to give it to me.. My pain doc does injection therapy so he cannot help me but is trying to find me a doctor to help... he suggested I see a cancer doc maybe they could give it to me...
I used to be able to do other things and not think about the pain but as the years pass by and more of my body hurts it's slowly taking away my life...
I want it back!

I'll have to check =) My pain doc suggested I take Marinol (or medical MJ) but we can't find a doc to sign off on it. The pain doc I went to does injections only (didn't know that before I got there) but he is trying to be helpful.. Suggested I go to a cancer doc and explain my situation and hopefully they will give me the meds... I'm allergic to ALL pain meds... kinda sucks for me huh... *LOL*

I may have a new theory on central pain. It mostly happens to people with incomplete injuries and incomplete nerve degeneration type problems. In the case of SCI I think maybe it has to do with the atrophy most of us experience as a result of SCI. It takes some sort of body acid to break down the tissue, mostly muscle tissue that we no longer use. This is why we only get the pain in the areas we no longer have movement or limited movement in. Individual body chemistry makes a difference. Over the last 7 or so years I thought maybe I was just building up a better tolerance to the pain and have been able to cut back on dosage of meds a lot. This could be due to the slowing down of the atrophy process. It's an unlikely theory but worth investigation. Most people who experience less pain are likely to be less likely to talk about it. I for one am afraid to jinks it. But I don't tend to be superstitious. I did get hit by that truck on a friday the 13th though. Freaky huh? and the dudes name was jason too! He was a hockey player, goofen around with his girlfriend and wearing his hockey mask while driving That night. what a dork huh? (hehe. only the date part of this account is true by the way) It's a fun way to mess with people though. They say WOW REALLY?, n I say nope LOL.
It's more likely that I've just gotten used to dealing with the pain with metaphysical and spiritual tools but I'm wondering if any one else has suffered less from the same acid burn like pain as I have over the years. I'm sure it does take some sort of body acid to break down the tissue as it atrophies away. Maybe some of us are more aware of our body slowly digesting itself!... yuk huh? Got skinny legs? Is yer but almost gone? I'll bet married men have less butt left than the rest of us cuz they got a sweetheart chewing away at what's left of their butt when they screw up!. HMMMM.
I wouldn't mind having a warm soft body sleepin next to me every night though. Butt chewin or not. :-)

quite of the members of the central pain syndrome alliance have had some relief from mj in various forms. we do hope that medical mj will be more and more available in the near future. we should have the option to try it for the high levels of pain we suffer.
hugs

I agree 100% Mary. For some reason the governments feel that opiate based pain meds are best for society while vilifying this relatively harmless herb. Time to change our ways.

Lola neurontin made me so sick I couldn't sit up or move anything scared me to death. I couldn't focus on conversations it was totally trippy and not in a good way.. NEVER AGAIN!
I tried neurontin a couple times. I got way too zombied out on it. I'm hoping to find out where to get some marinol if it's still available. I've smoked enough pot over the years to know it tears up our lungs and heart too much.
God only knows what other damage it does that most pot smokers are in denial of. I can't keep doing that to my lungs. How much less harmful is it to use a vaporizer? I recently watched a show on PBS about them doing a better job of isolating the active ingredients in pot to be taken in a pill form. Haven't had any luck finding out anything else though. That’s what I really want to try. THC has always worked much better than any opiates I’ve tried.
Has anyone had success with marinol? (pot pills/THC pills) I can't afford that dang club gonja with all the goofy names anyway, it‘s also way too powerful, and fun!, I gotta be honest. Even if the vaporizer method is less toxic to my lungs. Can anyone say there’s a big difference between smoking it or vaporizing it? Wouldn’t we still get all the same carcinogens that screw up our lungs?, heart?, n memory? I’m working pretty hard at keeping myself healthy, putting smoke in my lungs messes up my spirituality, Am I the only person not in denial about that little detail? I realize that it affects many of us differently. It makes it very difficult to really meditate and have any kind of healthy spirituality. I wonder if the marinol pills would have the same affects as smoking it. Anyone tried it around here? My happiness depends on having a healthy spiritual life. It’s also much easier to tolerate pain when I can meditate and pray on a regular basis. Smokin weed makes it way too easy to slack off on taking care of myself. I haven’t met many people who can honestly say it doesn’t make em less ambitious and less able to take care of regular life business. I also have to admit that when this nerve pain gets bad, I can’t focus on anything anyway. If it wasn’t for the severe digestive problems and constant fight to keep from building up a tolerance I would just keep taking the same old opiate meds. I suspect the opiates are making it much harder for my digestive tract to get nutrients outa the food I eat. I’m freakin sick of forcing myself to eat so dang much health food. I’m real sure if I could try some of that marinol I’d be much more enthusiastic about eating more often.
Does anyone know any truly healthy and energetic 55 or 65 yr. old pot smokers? We’re already fighting off a ton of other environmental toxins polluting the entire food chain. I’d like to make it to 80 or 90. That is, as long as the planet doesn’t blow up in a global warming induced methane super power fart!… We can’t forget about that little problem either ya know hehe.

using a vaporizer burns off the thc crystals, if ur doing it right it doesnt actually burn the weed its self, and u can see that once u take the weed outta the vaporizer.. theres no flame, the weed never touches the heat source. and technically u could take that vaporized weed and use it for brownies as well, itll still have the same qualities but in essence will have less potency bc the crystals have been burned off prior.they make so many diff forms of edibles as well.. u can get the honey elixer drops, which is clover honey and thc, comes in diff flavors from vanilla to citrus.. lots of diff things to choose from. if ur interested in learning more go to norml.com
