Yup. I use THC, CBD, and CBG everyday. Trust me, I don’t want any of this. But I wouldn’t be able to hold a job and be bed ridden without them and as per my neurologist and rheumatologist there isn’t any sign that my pain will change for years to come. It’s also different when you take them for chronic pain than recreationally. I don’t get high off them, I just get pain relief. It’s hard to get a high when you’re in constant debilitating pain

Thank you, I appreciate it. I hope you have a great holiday

Meh. First Christmas since my full chronic pain has hit and knowing it’s not going away and the issues that arise with it. On the upside, I met with a new pain management doctor today and he actually cared for me. He is switching me from hydrocodone to oxycodone and told me that he is willing to up my dose a lot in the next few months because he doesn’t want to see a 26 year old be stuck in his apartment for another year due to pain. So that was a light in a very dark tunnel. As happy as I can be at the moment but my happiness is limited. One of those I’ll believe he will help me as much as he says when I see it the next few months. But, the switch is very hopeful in itself. Hopefully next Christmas I’ll be able to go on walks longer than one mile without having to deal with the miserable consequences under his pain regimen.

Wym 3d? This ain’t a picture? This is amazing! I actually thought it was a picture until I zoomed in to inspect certain things and then I could tell it was a digital render but even when I zoomed out again my mind went to picture

I would spend an entire psychedelic trip looking at this with pink Floyd

The hero we don’t deserve

I also want to say that dry herb vaporizers played a big role in my anxiety reduction also. Being able to control the temp to get certain terpenes is great and the high and feeling is a lot smoother. I start off at a low temp and work my way up in one bowl so I slowly get all the effects of it all. Also greatly reduced the amount of bud I was using

CBD itself won’t get you high, just get you chill. I enjoy CBD in itself. I use CBD, CBG, and THC everything. I only use a little bit of THC, more of the CBs.

I guess CBD can get you a bit high but it’s not like you’re baked. You know you’ve consumed something. Although, it’s possible CBD in itself will do nothing for you. CBD is best when mixed with other cannabinoids like a small amount of THC or mixed with CBG.

One thing that did completely take away my anxiety while getting high is CBD. More CBD than THC in a bowl and I have a great high. Give me straight THC and I’m more than likely not going to have a good time

I’m 25 in the US and I can

there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole

Me anytime I do anything that sometimes gets anyone slightly upset

I can’t figure out how to quote that comment. When I click the quote things it doesn’t work. I have settled with italics

Got it thanks

We need to know the Poop:Day ratio

It depends if you’re not trying to poop that whole time?

Yes

I can look around, thanks for the advice. Luckily I don’t post or anything so I don’t care about transferring accounts. Haven’t used it all too much

How do you find good people to follow? There aren’t all too many meme or comedy accounts and that really all I’m looking for. It seems pretty serious on there unless I’m just being dumb. I’m on mastadon.social

I’m also seeing a bunch of posts not in English, sometimes nearly half so that gets annoying

I live in Colorado in the US and we have legal weed here. I use CBD, CBG, and THC and it helps but I’m no good when I’m baked during the day. I use it ay night. That’s amazing you are still here and beat the odds, keep that going!

I can only imagine how that woman felt going through that. Luckily I went through school for software engineering and I got a remote job. If I wasn’t able to work from home I wouldn’t be able to work. So little can make my pain so bad it’s debilitating.

I’m very glad you’re feeling better than ever, that’s amazing to hear. I hope one day I’m able to say that. Do you get side effects from prednisone? Every medical person has told me that going on it long term has many side effects but sometimes you just have to do it. I really hope the immunoglobulin will be a correct fit for me.

Right now I’m on 100mg Lyrica 3 times daily, celecoxib 200mg, 12 mg tizanidine, have Cyclobenzaprine also, and then 20mg hydro daily. I just started the hydro a week ago. I also take 100mg tramadol xr. I was on 100mg tram xr and 200mg ir throughout the day and it did nothing. The hydro already does so much more but it’s still not enough.

Having this chronic pain has really made me see life from a different perspective. I moved from Seattle washing where I grew up to denver Colorado just last July because I love hiking, snowboarding, and biking. But just soon after I moved it started and slowly progressed and then in January is when it got bad so now I can’t even do the things I moved here for. It really sucks. At least I’m happier here in general.

I’m sorry it took 3 years for you to get diagnosed. I really hope something can be figured out in the next year. It just sucks so bad not being able to be on the medication like prednisone that really helps me because it can affect results of tests. I don’t even know if I care about a diagnoses at this point. I just want to either be on correct pain medication or something that allows me to do stuff

Nope. Completely different symptoms than that

Thanks I appreciate it. I got a blood test done and it didn’t show any muscle inflammation so now I just set up a spinal tap for next Tuesday. He thinks it’s some polyneuropathy thing but he says I’m the weirdest case he’s ever experienced. Told me my reflexes were different from when I saw him a month ago. It just all makes no sense. My emg on my legs shows my tibial nerve on both legs were messed up and then all my muscles were firing wrong. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ On painkillers (hydro), Lyrica, and muscle relaxers and yet I’m still in pain. Have some control issues with my legs and just a lot of stuff. I’m sorry you’re going through all this. You can also reach out to me, it is quite a lonely journey especially when you’re 25 and no one can relate or understand
