Medical Canabis

[Rhino03z]

hi their I’ve recently applied for medical Canabis from a private hospital which I’m paying for but I applied for it to help relieve the pain and to come off my medication but today they've said they are booking me In to see a Psychiatry to have my mental health checked and I may be able to have it under the mental health category not pain . Does anyone know what the eligibility is to have it under pain as I’ve tried steroid injections and that hasn’t worked and I’m currently on high dose medication which I want to come off as they could be damaging my kidneys .

Hi, I believe a consultant has to confirm that two different standard methods of treatment have been unsuccessful. Good luck!

Curious if the NHS then pays for it and is specific dose or strain prescribed?

[Rhino03z in reply to etheral]

NHS don’t qualify for me to have their treatment, you need to be on chemo MS , I’ve gone private and need another appointment to examine my mental health .

[Scotsman53 in reply to etheral]

NHS pays for MC only in very specific cases, most people can forget it. Private scripts are for particular products.

I did tell him two methods Didn’t work with pain but with mental health side of things I’ve had cbt therapy that didn’t work I’ve also had councillor twice and that was a pain in the. BAck side . So I’m hoping I can have it under my mental health as I have AUTSIM , PTSD anxierty and Depression.

Sounds convoluted. Best of luck.Seems to work well for pain and anxiety/depression.

I tried it, and it didn't work for me, but in saying that, I was afraid of losing my license if tested positive. Not worth it for me and my situation. I have off the scale, fall down hurt other parts of my body, pain. Take Fentanyl (patches) high dose and that was suppose to help me get my dosage lower. But ... every body is different and fingers crossed it helps you. I found other old world meds that are helping me extend the need to change my patches every three days which I am amazed with and while not letting me decrease, they are holding the pain at bay a day or two longer than in the past.

Kindest Regards.

what kind of old world medicine?

[stckdg in reply to Izabella12]

Ayurvedic principals and medicine is roughly what I have found working currently. Old and new due to availability of what is allowed in my country and what isn't. Also what I can grow, what will grow and just not that brilliant of a gardener I can't get to even get to come out of the ground.

I am using Nigella Sativa, along with Nattokinase, chew licorice root and other supplements (organic all) that reduce the paralysing cramping (corking or Charlie horse type cramps) that I get when the patches don't make it all three days. Cats claw, Ivermectin etc. If you have a multi vitamin bottle, I take all of those but buy the ingredients and blend a water drink myself. K2, Iodine, MSM, B12 etc. Very easy and takes about a minute of my time. Due to my complicated back issues (38 years of back metal jewelly and setting off airport security, lol, that is now bent and unable to be straightened or removed) I was put in the too hard basket and given heaps of drugs.

My husband has stage 4 Renal Cancer, and (partly due to my science back ground) after researching how to extend his life and talking to hundred of old class mates, work colleagues, and following bread crumbs I was lucky enough to find old world medicines that don't have any known side effects or interact with prescribed drugs in anyway. THAT IS A HUGE ISSUE AND YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TAKING AND READ LANCET, NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE ETC. (I relied heavily on Germany and Israel medical journals, as well as Dr. Peter McCullough, and others I can't spell ) I can not stress that enough. Most of these 'supplements' have had studies done on them and they are all available for you to read. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING that you have not done your homework on. EVEN what is prescribe by your doctor without reading up on the pro's and con's of it. Side effects and make you decision on YOUR best educated guess and advise from trusted research and people.

I only had 'pain' so I thought he came first and I could deal with me later, but I am half a step from a wheel chair now. Some of the supplements I take are getting rid of the scare tissue and calcification, some are anti-inflammatories, some relax (and I mean the best sleep I have had in years) while others energise. Balance.

I used myself as a test pig first and hit and miss found pain relief in the above mentioned bread crumbs. The pain/cramping/night sweats etc he was having were issues I had with the patches, so If they worked on me - he got smaller doses and 13 years later he is still with me (granted, I was using other things for him, but still tested me to see if I was going to get sick) and fingers crossed will be for triple that time - his mother is 103 and still lives alone - so I have hopes he will make that age.

Not every body is the same. I know my body rejects antibiotics and most synthetic drugs. After being written off by everyone it was up to me to read read read (Medical Medium - he is really hard core but brilliant and fresh juice is a no brainer) and model a regime (after trial and error) that works for me and mine. I am not against medications. I know they work, at least some do. What doesn't work is being misdiagnosed by an uncaring care giver.

It is time consuming, have a dictionary open on a new tab, you will need it and go down the rabbit hole.

This is your life, taking advice from those you trust is one thing, but being told to go play in the middle of the ocean without a boat and you can't swim ... well, you get my point.

Sorry so long, but not an easy one word answer.

Kindest Regards

p.s. Hubby is a retired (36 years) police. PTSD kinda comes with the territory. Now that drug is one I am happy he is off of.
