burns/amputations / phantom pain

hey storm crow ,
i wish there were more ppl. like yourself compiling scientific proof that cannabis does indeed work for pain management . w/o it i'd still be eating 2400 mg. of neurotin , 60 mg. of oxycottin/ms cottin , n 15 mg of ativan everyday and after 5 yrs. of it , most likely be on kidney dialisys due to all the f/u script narcs. destroying my kidneys .
i was working on a girls car ,replacing an elect. fuelpump , when the entire garage ignited from static elect. and not enuf ventalation . despite being 90% 3rd. degree i covered my face n crossed my legs .lol . never know i was burned to see me from the neck up . prob. why i'm so far along w/ such a poss. outlook on life still .
most of my pain is electric , like jolts down limbs to wherever nerve endings happened to grow to after the amputation of toes n fingers due to bone infection . really good smoke does wonders . got some cottoncandy x nycd right now n works great .
god bless n help us keep fighting the fight .

Yes, I agree. You know humans are the only species in the world that kill/harm their own kind just for fun? No other species hurts one another for no reason, survival yes, but not like humans do.

We are a brute race.

Good luck to you. :smokin:

Hi Bird Girl and friends, I am SLOWLY working on a listing of the URL sites of my notebook. I'm sorting them by catagories- cancer, ms, neuroregeneration, etc. I plan to eventually spread it all over the net via sites like this- I expect it will become a medical sticky. Unfortunately, I just don't have a lot of time lately. I work in Special Education as a substutute Teacher's Aide and there is a flu going around, so I've worked the last 8 days and there's more to come and the work is exhausting ( jumping into another aide's class- not knowing the routine or the kids, is tough) ! Plus, I'm helping a friend with a MMJ + CPS custody case- they lost, so now we are in appeal mode. It's a mess. They are getting a new lawyer- their present one was once a sharp lawyer but is getting senile (hmm..I should send him some Alzheimer's abstracts). And I have to have some time for me! But the note book is coming along. For those of you who are interested about making your own notebook, start with ccicnewsletter.com (heavy science), marijuana.researchtoday.net (more readable), or just do a search on cannabis abstract (and any disease) You will be amazed what you find! Hope your doctors use these sites! Our government is deliberately suppressing the news about cannabis' healing properties. Israel is doing a LOT of research. They give cannabis to soldiers who have PTSD. Articles on cannabis and blood pressure, strokes, cancer, MS, osteoporosis and more are coming out of Israel, Spain, Finland, Taiwan, virtually everywhere but the US! And for the most part, the US articles are whimpy! They always have a lame disclaimer saying not to use pot or we need a synthetic that does this and not get you high. What exactly is wrong with feeling good????? Especially if you are sick! And finally as to what to do. Make your own note book, send copies to all the doctors you know. If someone is ill, send them an abstract to educate them! I love to present my (noncannabis) doctor a pile of abstracts when I go in. LOL He semi-sympathetic- he used pot as a med student, but is scared of the feds (who isn't now-a-days?). Voting the b*astards out of office this November would also be good. And yes, I AM an opinionated old broad, and proud of it! If we don't speak out about what is right, who will? I just keep remembering the WWII poem about "they came for the Jews, and I said nothing....." All of you, get educated and speak up! :dance: If we don't, what happened in the book (or movie) "1984" will be pleasant compared to what is coming!

hey hows it goin, im a noob here and i can relate.
few years ago i was camping with some buddies and we were drinking off a keg. i hate to and rarely drink, but this was one of those times. i have a benine(sp?)(means no known cause(NOT epilepsy!)) seizure condition and i didnt have my meds because i really wasnt planning on drinking and staying the night out there in bfe. i got convinced into staying and getting hammered so i figured what the hell. night goes by, gets cold, everyone slowly goes to sleep. im stuck in the cab of my truck with a shitty blanket and a sweatshirt. it was cold and uncomftorble and i really noticed it at around 6am. so theres no way i can sleep through this shit so i get up and relight the fire from the night before, start to get warm and boom next thing i know im in the back of my truck going to meet the evac helicopter. i was the only one up and i fell in the fire for who knows how long, luckly one of my freinds was half asleep in the tent and heard something, he saved my life..
pain like only a fellow survivor can understand, i stopped describing it to people but im sure youve had a pussy burn from a lighter or something where it blistered up and hurt like hell. well double that pain and put it over half your body. its no joke. we metup with the chopper and she shot me up and i was out for 2 weeks. wake up and wow my life fucking sucks. 48% 3rd degree,52% total and all the rest of me was skin grafts, exept my right arm, i begged them not to graft off of it. fuckers still took a little square, just to piss me off im sure. that was by far the freakiest hospital visit ever. i was on over lethal ammounts of pk's and tripping balls, the shit i saw was beyond even a hardcore cid trip. drug induced reality. i was still asking for more drugs just to kill the pain and it this point maybe me too. my left arm was the worst, even the top burn specialist surgeon said that my arm had the worst burns hes ever seen. i told them to cut it off, it was in bad shape. all my musles were burnt, almost gone. somehow i can still use it today. damage almost looks minor now. over 1million$,year of pt/ot, 13 surguries and here i am.

hey 5-0 addict , :(
no doubt , noone on here has a clue till u been there man . hell on earth . was replacing a tank mounted fuel pump in a girls car n garage filled w/ fumes n exploded from static electricity , we think . i was lyin on a piece of shag carpet .
they took me to local hospital n they freakd out , shot me fulla morph n shoved me off in a corner so the priest could read me my last rites man . i wasn't even a good flight risk so no copter to ann arbor burn center .
but fool was too stubborn to die . lol .
at 85% you have about a 1 in10,000 chance of survival . they ended up sending me to a hospital w/ a burn unit in the middle of detroit in the damn ghetto . 5 mos. self induced coma . woke up a morphine addict after 5 mos. on the drip , was in hospital a total of 16 months . too many surgeries to count ? 5 1/2 yrs. and 14 million dollars later i'm back for the attack myself , back at the dragstrip this yr. n they didn't think i'd ever get back outa the house . good to see someone else that's bounced back after a trip to hell and still be themselves .
peace G/B
:thumbsup:

wow, makes me feel like i just got a scrape on my elbow!
reletively i was in and out, thats just hardcore!
what dont kill me just makes me crazier, now im actually a better rider than i was before. now i feel like theres nothing that could happen to me that wouldnt hurt more than what ive felt. found my riding style is smoother when in stoned, just not on a track. :dance:
hey did you ever get any phentnol(sp)?
it was a sythetic opiate from what i remember, only lasts about 45-50 minutes but that stuff was awesome. guess it was really expensive and addictive. idk bout you but now i would pay to NOT take opiate pks.
the hallucinations were a trip tho, i was looking at a cabinet with a wood grain look to it, then i start to see it move, but it didnt just move lizards came out from the grain and crawled up the wall. i felt consious and alert at the time, i can still remember that to the day. it was real until i told my mom and she touched the cabinet, really weird. not like mushrooms or acid like if you look at something it will move in some way, completely random and almost out the coner of your eye. morphine sucks!
*as a spark a fresh one..
hows your skin holding up?
mine fucking sucks, its always dry and peeling mostly on my arm. oh and itchy as hell sometimes, tryed all the anti itch creams and they barely work. skin is super thin too, minor wrecks always make a huge scab. its annoying more than anything, clothes always got blood on em in riding season.
nice to meet ya :D
