Going To Setup An Appointment

[Jager]

I'm going to be setting up an appointment with my doctor soon. I may have either Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease. While I'm there I'm going to tell him about my back pain (I think it may be chronic pain). If I have Crohn's Disease and/or chronic pain, I'm going to ask about medical marijuana. If he's not a supporter of it, am I still able to qualify somehow? I truly believe that it would help me, so I want to be a patient. Not only does it take affect almost instantly, it's also safer than pills.

If you have been seeing your dr for a while and have med records stating your condition, chrohns i beleive qualifys you! Im pretty sure colitis does also! chronic pain to!

 

I guess you need to know what is wrong with you! Im sorry for your pain.

 

I regret even asking my regular dr.'s about mm, I had to find another dr. to give me a rec, and than my dr.s all quit me! after 12 yrs of methadone an xanax, I all of a sudden had poly-substance abuse problem when urine screened show thc. for 12 yrs I wasnt a drug addict as long as they were writng the scripts, that almost killed me!

 

I always get my med records from my dr's (family dr and back specialist and therapist) every 6 months and keep them at home(a copy of my records) when ever you lose a dr. make sure you get all records they have on you, they are yours and they have to give them to you!

 

find an mm friendly dr. once you have a qualifying condition on record! and dont tell your reg dr nothing! Thats my opinion based on personal experience!

 

Good Luck to You!

 

Peace

YES! If your doctor doesn't agree with MM, go to another one! PM me if you need another doctor!

Jager,

I have had Crohn's for 12 + years and find MMJ very helpful. My gastro doctor is old school and very well respected and was hesitant about MMJ. I requested my medical records and went to another doctor. My primary gasto doctor is well aware of my choice and I still go through my normal check-ups with him.

With this condition, I find using MMJ helps me overcome loose of appetite, keep some weight on enjoy life a bit more.

I hope you find the same relief I do from MMJ.
