IMO, that treatment response is very likely due to the stress-suppression effects of cannabis.

Whatever the reason, the bottom line is that some people got relief! I wonder if it would work for MC? I could do my own experiment, but I don't think being stoned all the time would work for my job. I don't think I'd want to work out very hard! ha ha ha.

It does definitely make you more hungry! I consider that a problem for me though. Then I am just trying to wrack my brain trying to find something else to eat that won't bother me!

let us know if you try it Joan. I can already tell you that just smoking it on the weekend doesn't bring on remission :)

When I tried it a billion years ago, I didn't like it at all. I felt drunk with one puff. However, at this point if it were legal, I'd use it.

DH is supposed to have knee replacement surgery in Sept. I don't know how I am supposed to go to the hospital each day and then take care of him. I can't even take care of myself.......Entocort better work for me.

I know people go into rehab facilities after knee replacement.
He's on a Holter monitor right now because he has buzzing/vibrating in his chest.
He sees the doc later this afternoon.

I am going to be very blunt when we meet with his ortho doctor.

My stress is through the roof.

Hi Joan, Great post. I watched a special on CNN about how it was used for medical treatment and that it was succesful for crohns. I was going to research it further. Time to call my PCP from Mass. They just passed the use for medical reasons. Jon

Hi Joan,

I hope the entocort works for you. I started a week ago, and I really feel a big difference. When you are in pain, it is impossible not to feel overwhelmed.

Most folks do go into rehab for several weeks, after knee replacement surgery. I hope recovery for both of you is easy.

Warmly,
Lori

Darn.

I may have to try it to take the edge off my itchy rash though! I bet it numbs the nerves in the skin!

There is no legal medical marijuana where you are Joan? Living in California, I forget that there are still states that make it a crime. Even before we had an Ok for medical use, it was decriminalized a long time ago.

Feel better soon. i hope the Entocort works

Nope, not legal here in AL, yet.

I almost wrote a post about medical marijuana after seeing this on television the other night. I guess Dr. Sanjay Gupta has changed his way of thinking about it after the help it has given this little girl. I was wondering if it would help with chronic D.
