accupuncture or marijuana?
Hello folks, start treatment this week. I was wondering if anyone has used marijuana or accupuncture to help with the sides of their treatment?thank you.
Unfortunately, marijuana is contraindicated for liver disease. It makes it worse. I had a close friend who used medical marijuana on a daily basis to help him with treatment and Hepatitis C. He is now dead. Please research marijuana and liver disease on Google before using this as support. Cheers,

I would choose Marijuana, just relax, smoke, and you'll feel ok :), you may also feel hungry, but thats ok too. lol
Marijuana has been successfully used to treat appetite loss and nausea with chemo patients. My liver specialist suggested it to me but I never tried it. I did try acupuncture for nausea and overall weakness (anemia) on tx but it didnt help. YMMV.
