Getting an MMJ card with diabetes

[Salvein211]

Looking for advice for a family member. What would someone need to do if they have been diabetic before being a teenager, that gives insulin daily to obtain a card? Constant joint pains, hand pain, etc. I've read a lot of posts and understand the need of medical records. Would records that show your diabetic simply be enough to go to a specialized clinic? Also during the appointment, would the primary focus be on explaining the joint pains or just being a diabetic to better your case?

Does the patient have any diagnosis that says "Neuropathy" either peripheral or systemic?

That would qualify in my book, got to ask a doc tho

Thanks for the reply.

Patient hasn't gone to the doctor for a dianosis for neuropathy, but his hands are messed up. He's also broken a leg and a foot in the last 2 years without even trying, it happened at the household. I think he was low on blood sugar and got clumsy.... twisting all the way around to fracture the foot. Kind of the same scenario for the leg, and the leg broke in two spots, fibula and tibula.... Doctor said it was due to decalcification....

Chronic pain will get them in the door and get an authorization. Fax or send their records to CBRMedical or THCF. :thumbsup:

From the sounds of your descriptions here this person has undiagnosed celiac disease which causes the underlying diseases you mentioned and the de-calcification of bones....

I would not be using any pot-clinic for an authorization go here and look for a doctor who owns and operates their business, Tacoma, WA Medical Marijuana - North End Club 420. When you go to a pot-clinic your contracting with a non-physician which makes your authorization null and void if challenged because the owner is not lawfully rendering services because they are not licensed under rcw 18.71 or rcw 18.57 M.D. or D.O.

Dr. Havsy of tacoma, Dr. Mobley of seattle, Dr.Jain of camas( he does state ins.) these dr.'s own and operate their businesses.

Good luck.

James,
The issues are common with diabetics. Terrible disease to have.

The underpinning reason for getting diabetes is the body going haywire. Research has found that a great majority of person with these complications are celiac positive and is why the body is reacting in this fashion. Auto-immune diseases are a real mind bender.
