Hmmmm....so I guess that tricare is not an option for you then? That stinks Pepurr.....My brother made a bet with me...he said that MMJ would be legal in ALL STATES by 1 April 2015.....I took him up on that because I am a skeptical person.

Best of luck buddy, I wish that the VA could recommend vets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately for the movement,you will win that bet.

Had to go back to the doctor because my left elbow has been hurting like a S.O.B.

It is my ulnar nerve. They x-rayed it, and they are going to do conduction tests the nerve. I think it has been damaged by working with mechines that vibrate for 30 years. It's that or the HCV has helped damage it.

The doctor gave me some pills for pain. They don't help much. One of my friends smoked some herb with me, and when he did, the pain went away. Marijuana really does help with stuff like this.

I think I can get a MMJ card because of this. I think it is called Peripheral neuropathy. Maybe I should wait till after the nerve conduction test to try. I don't know, I still can't afford a doctor outside the VA.

i was reading through this thread and felt i should some what chime in here.guess i could start with the whole cancer and hep c thing.i have first hand exp with both.well not myself but my uncle had hep c and it went on to become liver cancer.he drank his whole life and was very wild.anyways he gave up drinking and so on and was never big on mj.he started smoking mj because nothing else helped or worked.he was able to eat which allows you're body to stay fueled,something the pills and all the other bs helps strip away from you.

he ended up letting his doc talk him into the chemotherapy with all the high success rate talk and so on.he died a year later from what i believe was from the chemo as not only does it kill the cancer but also everything else in you're body.now yes his liver was bad and they would not put him on a list for another one because they said they would'nt waste a hard to get liver on him because being a drunk his whole life.

now on to the other side of cancer,my dad was a marine recon in nam in 67,68,69.he was exposed to a/o back then he was told it was'nt harmful as the story goes.then back in 2000 he starts having problems but being such a hard head he would not go to the doc until something bad happened.he had no ins,he started having really bad back and chest pains.i would take him to the er and they would run him in and out asap as er with no ins they could pretty much care less.they would say no you are all fine nothing is wrong with you.this happened about once a year for 5 years i would even take him to diffrent er's around town.then the last time i took him they ran a test and said his heart was as strong as an 18 year olds.then ran another test and said they thought he just had a kidney stone.so he goes home and 2 days later he was pissing solid blood to the point of passing out.then they took him and ran all kinds of test on him and thats when they found a big chunk of cancer in his bladder."btw he was clean his whole life"no drinking drugs pills nothing but he did smoke ciggs.


they then found he had prostate cancer as his psa was 1400.they found a program that would pay for treatment.the cancer doc put him on a drug called casadex.when in 6 months his psa went from 1400 to 20.looked like everything was going great and the drug was working great.all of the sudden the doc said he was going to take him off the drug.then about 6 to 8 months later his psa lvl started going back up.my dad asked to be put back on the casadex the doc said no we want to run you through a chemo program.my dad did'nt want to do it but he was unable to get the casadex again as the cancer program would'nt approve it again for some odd reason. anyways long story short he went on the chemo something i was against from the start.needless to say he died about 6 to 8 months later. first thing the chemo did to him was made him throw up constantly,making him unable to eat then because of all the bs the chemo was doing they started giving him heavy drugs like the 72hr patch,60 and a 40 oxy's both 1 time per 4 to 6 hours + all this other bs. if he would have went to mj he would have been able to eat and use the bath room.chemo kills you b4 the cancer does...anyways i have to go but i will come back and talk some more in a bit.

btw all of this is what got me reading and growing mj b4 all of this i had never touched the stuff ever along with anything else.in fact i was totally against mj as the only people i ever knew that used it was deadbeat stoner bums.they do give mj a bad name.but this herb is in fact 1 of the great plants on earth.but like anything else it can be abused,but thats on the person im so tired of mj getting the bad rap for what deadbeat no good bums do.the whole mj is a gateway drug thats total bs it's the person that was the gateway not the mj or anything else for that matter.

Wow,thanks for sharing Palerider. Your uncle was not Mickey Mantle so I can see why he didn't get another liver,BS.

Sorry to hear about your Dad.He really got a raw deal no doubt.

I really like to see people on here that at one time had no faith in Cannabis but were smart enough to see that 72hr fentanyl and oc are a freakin joke.

Really don't know what else to say other than Thank You so much for chiming in.

[pepurr]

Thanks for sharing that!

That's rough about your uncle and dad. It really drives home the message of getting tested. The earlier one can find out these things, the better the chance of recovery.

Indeed chemo can be rough. So rough that some people can't take it, and have to discontinue. It is good that society is coming around, in regards to MMJ. It has been proven that people who use MMJ for the relief of symptoms of chemo, have a much better chance of completing their treatment.

As rough as chemo can be, there are many people who have been there and now live free from the burden of sickness and/or cancer because of it.

Again thanks :hippy:

Cannabis sure makes chemo more bearable.

Is it just me or is it fuzzy on here right now? I don't think I need to ref the post if it isn't just me. I think we represent ourselves well here and I don't care who is having a look.
