Medical cannabis and the Green Cross Society of B.C helped me with my long recovery from a 28 foot fall at work. Medical marijuana saved me from a life on pharmaceutical drugs..
Pain was a hard to deal with; doctors put me on what I would like to call the "special" when dealing with severe trauma
1. Pain killers, narcotics- oxycontin, morphine, percacets, Tylenol 3...
2. Anti depressants- Apo-Amitriptyline, Effexor, Venlafaxine, ceperlex, etc...
3. Anxiety pills-Ativan, Xanax, Lexapro, Valium etc..
4. Nerve Blockers- Gabapentin, Lyrica etc...
5. Muscle relaxers -- novo-cyclobenzaprine, methocarbamol etc...
6. Sleeping Pills -- Immovane,
7. Blood pressure & ant-acid pills -- pariet and antihypertensives
This is how our medical system deals with seriously injured workers. I was taking heavy prescription drugs, narcotics for pain, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers , anti-depressants and heart pills .At one point of my recovery, I was taking 32 pills a day to deal with all my issues. Medications caused a lot of confusion and disarray in my life,
While on the cocktail of prescription drugs I found that I was always chasing pain, forgetting almost everything, not being able to make decisions properly, emotionally I was a mess always crying and hating life. All my doctors 35-40 in total were trying to find a cure or some miracle to help me get on with my life.
Work Safe B.C stated it was my recovery but insisted that I take a wide range of prescription drugs so I could go back to work.
Pharmaceutical drugs contributed to a lot of problems from side effects that were not related to my injuries and made them worse, at times made them better. Life was a roller coaster ride up and down sudden unanticipated stops and screaming pain!
Medical cannabis - Endocannabinoid Physiological Control System (EPCS) cannabinoids, CB1 receptors, CB2 receptors, anandamide.
When injuries accrue, dealing with the central nerves system (CNS) and the peripheral nerves system (PNS) become a major factor in recovery. Learning how our body works and how natural remedies have worked for thousands of years, natural herbs, amino acids(food), exercise and a understanding of how our body and mind relays massages to our body is a key factor in my recovery and quality of life.
I have spent the past 2 years learning from the Green Cross Society and their scientists such as Dr Paul Hornby. I have learnt how to properly understand the human bodies own natural pain killer. I have found if cannabis is properly administrated it helps activate levels of dopamine, serotonin and GABA which allows me get on with daily life.
I will go into detail soon on how and what I had to learn to deal with chronic pain and depression, the road to my extensive recovery and how today I am free from pharmaceutical drugs and happy to be more in control of my pain levels.
Can Caps- regulated cannabis, tincture, cannabis infused bake goods and natural remedies --Tyrosine, GABA, Sam-e to name a few of the supplements I use or have found effective .
I hope I will be able to help others understand how to deal with Chronic Pain, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Naturopathic pain. Being able to have some relief and feeling generally good is something we all want in our days.
Medical Cannabis helps me get through my days.
