Medical Marijuana Alternative

As I jump through some strange hoops to find relief for my fall allergies/fibro flare-ups, I'm brought face to face with one of the last few things I've yet to try. Marijuana.

My fears? I'm a writer. I don't want to be out of my mind or sluggish, hungry, and kinda dumb. But the migraine's get so bad, I'd take all of that for a few hours of relief.

So here I am, clutching my Medical Marijuana send-off package with my 100.00 pay off check (I feel I should get a discount on) and ready to take the plunge. I'm also going back to my neurologist to see about these strange head twinges I get at night and to try pure oxygen to see if that can break 7 day migraines.

Pain killers simply don't work for me any more, and the side effects have now made it too dangerous for me to continue.

But there's light at the end of this tunnel I think.

Maybe I'll find Marijuana will work or maybe...just maybe the FDA will hurry along this new drug!

Let's hope more of this type of medication is found to be helpful for pain sufferers of all types.

Hope you're all feeling well my friends!

Best,
Gin
