pain rant

[missybit]

so (thursday) i smoked the last of what i had, thinking "no problem, i'll go pick something up tomorrow." but no.

friday i woke up in the worst IBS pain i've had in MONTHS. i don't think i've had an episode this bad in at least a year. it's hard to even describe. it feels like i've badly pulled all the muscles in my lower back, it burns, and every once in awhile i think there is something crawling around in my abdomen. I can't eat because everything makes me feel like i'm going to throw up. walking from the bed to the couch is an ordeal, and i don't want to even get started on how much time i've spent in the bathroom. if only the pain would just STOP for a few minutes. it's frustrating to finally be able to sleep, only to wake up and still be hurting. today is better in that i can sit up and focus enough to type something.

here's a good link about "invisible diseases" that i think some of you medicinal users will relate to: but you don't look sick (http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/2007/02/the_spoon_theory.php#more)

i'm smoking some resin to take the edge off. it doesn't help a whole lot with the pain, but at least i feel less stressed about it. i think this has convinced me to get my prescription card, which i've been putting off because i'm a bit paranoid. i'm not sure i need the government to know i smoke.

thanks for letting me rant a bit.

I'm sorry your hurting so much. Good thing you have resin. I have a question though, is the pain that bad that you can't take regular meds for IBS?

man, i wish regular medication would work. i've tried LOTS of meds...eventually i lost count. absolutely nothing that the doc prescribed worked for me, or had side effects that were worse than the IBS pain. eventually she told me to just smoke when i needed to, and she wouldn't note anything on my chart (this was before i lived in a medical marijuana state). i changed my diet (no fast or fried foods, only whole grains, etc.), and i take fiber and supplements, so it's not nearly as bad as it was a few years ago. but every once in awhile i have a really bad attack like this, despite my best efforts.

Dman missy if I lived close to ya Id hook you up, I have been tryin to get a club card too but medicinal just passed and my doctor is getting the 411. I hear what your sayin pain suck and usualy here we can only get mids, if you want the highs the price is insane. And with our medicinal we cant grow, can you grow in your state? No matter what the fight still goes on OVERSMOKE THE GOVERNMENT:pimp:

Shit, I'm really sorry you feel so bad missybit. I don't know too much about IBS, but I do know it's a lot easier on your digestive tract to eat fruits instead of meat and grains. Also eating english mints can really help. Good luck to you.
