My Head HURTS!

[nysurf]

I quit smoking for my job and I swear I've had a headache for damn near 2 full months now. EVERY day. It SUCKS! I live in a non medical state too.. I cant take it any more. this is bullshit. I know what will make my headaches go away but I cant use it or I'll get tested and fired.
P.S. Forgot to add that its ok for me to take opiates and work though. opiates that work 8 hours, that I can feel are throwing me off and endangering people. All because the Doc says so.. BULLSHIT.
God forbid I smoke a little at night to help my headaches. then if I crash 15 days later and get tested I get fired.

It will take time for your system to adjust to the new changes.

I feel sorry for ya. I have a friend who suffers from Migraines and cannabis is the only thing that seems to help him. He decided to ask his doctor for a Marinol prescription.
It helps somewhat but not like the real thing.

I am not sure but taking the legal version may mask your illegal use of the whole plant. Does any of the more knowledgeable members know if taking Marinol would cover your ass in a drug test?

were livin in it actually gives you a headache try putting some good 1 toilet paper section rolled up in your

If you have acid reflux or stomach ulcers. you can get a prescription for a "Proton inhibitor".
Proton inhibitors WILL test positive for THC!
The package insert advises you to bring your prescription with you to a drug test.
They will probably cancel and re-schedule the test.
That will give you some time to trade sanity for migranes again and flush your system.

Yes, the test doesn't discriminate between synthetic real THC,wouldn't hurt to mix them anyway, they don't give you enough in pill for anyway, dose is way too low or way to ineffective;

I too have migraines and often I have a bit of trouble when I am not medicating with mmj if my headached is a migraine on the run for a few months or allergy, mild. Seems the mmj keeps my allergy's in check also!

True.
But, many un-enlightened employers don't discriminate either.
There's a lot of ignorance out there.
Howzit PR?
Long time no hear.

sumatriptan succinates (or the triptan families) will totally eradicate your migraines, i dont like using these tablets, but when i get bad ones i do.

Recommend you get a prescription for them they are truly amazing.

:thumbsup:

Just, try not to take too many, I don't trust any pharmaceuticals at all nowadays.

Peace,

Weeze, you saying, doesn't matter if you have Marinol-some employers will kick you anyway? That sucks! When I heard AT&T did hair testing for lifetime use-I thot that sucked. Even if you are clean for years-it tells on you!

Denial, I haven't tried any of the new things for migraines in over a decade, after trying so many years and too many pills, just quit and do what I can. I can't toke often enough to get rid of the migraine-but this new mmj I've been using, sure helps a great deal-just hard to get. I hate the side effects of the pills, but will see doc and try these new ones, nice to have the portability of a pill to carry with me.

I haven't had so many problems with migraine's until the past 2 years and it has been a bear-sometimes, just sick at my stomach until I do a 'pain test' and realize I have it-you learn to live with it or hibernate with'um. Guess, I might as well go get re-tested, etc. and see if the new stuff will help. Appreciate hearing it works for someone-I lost faith for traditional migraine treatment. Denial, you've encouraged me to, at least try again!

Just get sick of 'going' to the doc's all the time. The practice of medicine has changed so much in the past years that I am just fed up with going 10 times for one thing and you can confuse a lot of docs. Cause some can only handle one thing at a time in the 2 min. allowed to see you. I admit, my doc spent an hour with me last month and we never got as far as the migraine's. But, all the appts and specialist's from that appt is enough to give me migraine's!! Sure can tell from my post's when I really have a bad one. Using this site as a distraction from pain (people contact) sure lets me look back and see-the pain really effects me, even if it is typing, typos and grammar. lol! worse things could happen. Just hope my grammar doesn't change the essence of the message!

More freezing coming up and such pretty days. I have gotta move to the lower elevation. Might help my h/a's if I can start a gro outside, earlier in the year. Very short season in between hills here! I got some Snoop Dogg and it just takes a migraine away asap and with the regular use, not so severe. I'd just like it to go away-like right now. PR
