I Wanna Get Off This Ride

[monkeypie]

I was going through wd when my Dr gave me "one last Rx" which I am tapering off of.

My story in brief: SUV -vs- Nissan and I lost. Three herniated disks and Fibromyalgia on top of that. I tried various (read taht every) opiates until we found Oxycontin. Finally! So for seven years I've been on this stuff-- when I have it, it's a miracle and when I don't it's a nightmare.

I have also been using cannabis tea to help (a lot) with several Female Conditions. For years. Well my Dr graduated and the little twerp that came onto the scene UAed me and when I came up hot for cannabis he said he was cutting me off my Oxycontin 80mg 2xday

Just like that. So I am in the last day of tapering down then it'll be one every other day and then NONE EVER AGAIN. I am looking forward and dreading the day I stop taking Oxy. Seven YEARS of riding this dragon and I've heard firsthand that kicking Oxycontin is harder and will make ya sicker than coming off Heroin.

We shall see.

cannabis tea...not sure how you make it, can't smoke it...but helps with pain that way...hum...ok, as posted before the Thomas recipe helps lots... warm baths for fibro, ask your Dr about flexeril for muscle pain can help too....exercise as much as you can...and keep posting and posting and posting... there are wonderful people who can help you... take it one day at a time and stay in touch

No, the tea is not legal unless you carry a medical marijuana card-- I would qualify for one but the cost is quite prohibitive. The only dangerous thing about cannabis as far as I know is the damn laws. Medically, cannabis can help with menstrual cramps especially those associated with peri-menopause. It also eases my fibromyalgia symptoms which are all over and it ups my mood in general which helps everything feel better.

The restrictive prohibition must be undone.

And no, the tea is illegal as far as I know.

Yes Oxy is one tough nut to crack but it should be easier for you since your doctor did a taper for you. I'm sorry that you're having to go through this. Is cannabis tea legal? I'm just curious for my own curiousity!
