Getting a Medical Marijuana Card
D4L; First Happy birthday in a couple weeks!
Second: Welcome to the site and hope you stick around!
I do suffer with migraine's from a head injury. I believe the pain really makes me so depressed coupled with the medication.
You would qualify in Calif. easily.
You have company and are not alone! I had a cough a few months ago and during the process, developed a migraine with all the symptoms you described. Thought I had the flu (no flu shot this year). Since, I was using mmj for other probs, and not the right strain or freq. dose's I needed, I isolate! Being around 15 friends is a sign you are most likely not depressed as to your friendships (just guessing). I so believe the pain makes me so depressed I feel everything is impossible. So, mmj takes it away and things are suddenly possible, asap! I love instant relief!
Go for mmj and don't be ashamed about it. I don't know Canadian rules, in fact, I am not so sure I've even read a post about them. You'll have to enlighten us on that, once you get placed on 'God's natural herb!" And have a great life with it. My first migraine was about 6 mos. and best part of a total year. Went to neurologist, had tons of studies, etc. Finally, I think it just left on its' own. But, a flinch in my head and slight feeling of a migraine coming would put me in a total tailspin mentally and physically. I went to psychotherapy for 5 or more years, took the pills, etc.
Now, as you said, sativa for depression and Indica for headache. Most strains on the street have some of both (as I am told). But, the best blends are in the dispensaries or grown in your closet!
For me: I get a great deal of relief with lavendarXkush; blueberryXkush; and about 100 others I intend to try or grow! Get the good stuff, it works best! There is one I have tried, can't remember the cross and was told last night (due to migraine, most likely triggered by lack of sleep today, I am a bit foggy) I think it was AK-47 crossed with something else, sorry. But get your rec. get legal-buy legal or grow! You unquestionably will benefit tremendously from the legal use. And fear of illegal use willl be one less reason for a migraine.
Recently they are doing more studies with migraine's and the is a new medication or 2 out-but I am not going for it. I'll grow what I need. Often, I felt the depression was a result of the horrible pain interfering with my life! When your head hurts, it is difficult to think or be 100% functional. Over time, it gets you way down. Doesn't mean none of this is genetic for you, but you found a cure. Use it like it is saving your life, cause most likely it is for you. I've dealt with it a bit longer than you and it sucks! Never had a headache in my life until this!
If it helps, I went for over a decade with no migraine. There is hope. There is mmj! In the past year I have tried lavendarXkush, blueberry kush and they were extremely effective for mine! However, I felt like I needed a bit more sativa, which is why that AK-47 cross with some sort of afgan kush of sorts--I'll have to find out, am unsure of it, damn it worked well. It is something someone crossed and grows for himself and can't keep in stock or I'd have some here! You are on the right track and in the right place.
Sativa for depression and strong Indica for headache. Just keep trying different one's and hobby yourself with a grow. It will teach you patience, give you a purpose of fulfillment and medical relief with the results of the grow! Plus, you can try everything, until you figure out what works well for you! If I had to guess, I'd say the purple strains help the migraine's a lot. But, I have a lot more to try. And I believe the sativa dominate strains work pretty well during the day! Don't forget the Indica! There is nothing like one hit and no nausea and writhing! I feel for you, as I view mine as simply a temporary thing, as opposed to the slight flinch in my head and I am sure it is a migraine coming on -- syndrome! That may pass and these may go away on their own. I assume you've had MRI's etc....!
I know exactly how you feel, that headache can make your whole body hurt for months. Look up 'Storm Crow' on this site and read some of her medical research, ought to help you a bit! Plus, trying to keep your mind busy, helps to distract from the pain. Force yourself, it is difficult, but helps. When I use mmj regular for other problems, I had blurred vision and thot it was my mmj. Nope, just wasn't using enough and let a 2 month migraine slip in on me. I medicate to the point of relief and stop. Sometimes the preceptors are not so suttle when you are treating it with mmj. But, you will know what works for you and just keep using it!
Good luck to you. You will enrich your life with this discovery of yours! pr :jointsmile:
