chronic lyme disease

[bobbygreenbear]

well, this seems to be what i have. it's pretty heavy stuff, OFTEN misdiagnosed, very misunderstood. longterm antibiotics is the key

symptoms are fever, aches, trouble concentrating, sleep problems, headaches, serious fatigue


i searched for MJ and lyme but it seems not common that folks get med-MJ scripts for chronic lyme patients

anyway, in the end i just have to talk to my doc about it and see what happens. it would be fantastic to be legal

i live in a med-state and i might move, but that would be to another med state

i'm starting growing for the first time right now, but man oh man, if i was legal, that would be the real deal


just thought i'd put it out there and ask for advice


heavy pain meds are not commonly given for lyme sufferers, even though pain can be very serious.

i think cannabis would help with: stomach problems, difficulty sleeping, pain, and depression which has also been very serious

i'm looking for help to be able to convince my doc to give me the scrip, and how to go about it; i hadn't even considered it a possibility before, but now i think i owe it to myself to try

Your own doctor will, in all probability, not give you a recommendation. Go to California NORML and check out their list of Cannabis specialists. It will cost you about $100 to $250 to get your yearly recommendation. Just take in a copy of your medical records and the doctor will give you a recommendation- the law says you must have-

(l) Any other chronic or persistent medical symptom that either: (i) Substantially limits the ability of the person to conduct one or more major life activities as defined in the American's with disabilities Act of 1990; and (ii) If not alleviated, may cause serious harm to the patient's safety or physical or mental health."

In other words- just about any medical condition that can cause you real problems! Lyme disease certainly qualifies! I got my recommendation for migraines due to a childhood head trauma. Keep a low profile.- Granny:hippy:

thanks; yeah, although i would try to get a med license even without this disease, the need for something like marijuana for my condition really is no scam. i have a lot of problems that marijuana is supposed to help with, and i actually have minor glaucoma as well, had forgotten about that.

so, you're saying it could cost up to $250 each year to get a recommendation? and then do i have to pay more for the card itself, or is that it? they certainly aren't making things cheap
