    For all those familiar with MMJ...

    Would fibromyalgia be a proper diagnosis to receive it?

    For those who don't know what it is, fibro is a chronic pain condition, with no known cause. If someone pokes me moderately, it feels akin to someone punching a sore bruise, yet I don't bruise.

    My back is in constant sharp pain, I get sharp pains down my arms, my nerves randomly fire up, and "stab" at random intervals at random parts of my body, and getting to sleep takes an hour or more.

    OTC pain meds like Tylenol or Aleve do not affect my pain at all, and I constanttly have headaches. I take Tylenol with codeine maybe once or twice a month when the pain gets really bad, and even then, it barely takes the edge off. I don't want harder Rx drugs. Smoking 3 joints will take my pain away completely without making me feel too disoriented, and I am able to work under these conditions.

    Some days it hurts to even wash my hands; I have that flu-like soreness for weeks at a time.

    How do MMJ doctors view on fibromyalgia, if anyone has any clue or suggestions?

    I don't live in a medical MJ state, sadly, and so am unfamiliar with the conditions and circumstances that justify a medical recommendation, but it just makes sense to me that, if arthiritis and cancer and other painful conditions merit consideration for MMJ, fibromyalgia should too. If they don't view that as an acceptable condition, then they need to be persuaded otherwise. I have a friend who has fibromyalgia. She's sorta uptight and wouldn't ever consider MMJ, but it'd be the best thing for her, if you ask me. Sorry you have to contend with that condition!
