Wow, my heart goes out to you. Chronic pain (esp. migraines) can be so powerful that it may/will change your entire personality and spirit - at least it did mine.

While still needing meds (Imitrex) for migraines (which it clearly sound like you have) - vaporizing has helped (at least for me) not only for most of my pain issues, but it also helps my spirits up. I hope you can find peace with this, too.

Have you also considered Fibromyalgya (I spelled that wrong) which they are finding may actually a neurochemical imbalance. I know that I was diagnoised with this at one point when the doctors thought I had a brain tumor (have they done any biochemical tests that might show a tumor that an MRI might miss?). They normally treat this with antidepressants now, but I found 'marijuana' to work much better.

It's the only reason why I came back to 'MJ' - I quit while in grad school, but realized that it helped me with TOO many things - incuding all of the above, plus high blood pressure (have you been checked for that? Could cause headaches too), anxiety, insomina (due to sleep apnea) and depression. I still wouldn't consider myself a heavy user - I vaporize every other day (quit smoking two years ago) and have very positive effects medically - I do still use it recreationally as well though here and there, but not too often anymore.

It sucks to have these problems when your so young - I hope I am still considered young (at 30) and the weed I kept in my freezer for the past eight years has been such a blessing.

I hope you find peace soon.

I had to add that I have found accupuncture to be very helpful for controling pain and spiritual 'balance' as well. Biofeedback software (ex. Google 'The Wild Devine') has helped me too!

Man i thought i was in bad shape,i live on pain killer,I HAD HEADACHE FOR A FEW YEARS ,THEY suck

the wonderful news.........................i get my tonsils out.i've lost 20 lbs over the past year because i can't eat like i should because i'm afraid when i eat something will get stuck in my throat, which it does, then i cough for hours. the surgery is easy enough but from what they tell me the recovery is a bitch.

I suffered from headaches for over 20 years. They would start out like tension and build into migraines and I would end up throwing up and laying in a dark room with the curtains and windows closed. After every test they could think of and being tried on nearly every med (some made me violently sick) it took a shrink about 10 minutes talking to me to find the problem. Stress caused by OCPD. Since I had it so long is was VERY bad. A few tokes and the stress, headaces, TMJ is all gone. No more as long as I can have access to my MM. The doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and insurance companies made a lot of money of a me until I became a medical marijuana patient.

Harsh...
I've been in my share of accidents, but my friend hasn't, when I Was 12 me and a friend were racing on bikes down a dirt path and it led to a semi-busy street..
He was going really fast and a person in a honda decides to speed... unknowingly he speeds right into my friend, launching him 45 feet into a brick wall instantly killing him.
And I was there and I witnessed the entire thing... Although we were both stoned so I don't remember it that well, but I still miss him. it could have very well been me who was winning the race, and I could have died.

death angel...dang, haven't heard of them in years. room with a view...i still remember how to play that.


dude, you're going to have to convince your Dr. to submit the MRI to your ins. as required to treat you. this would be the case if x-ray does not show anything but your symptoms increase. iow, call the Dr. often enough and he will get ins. to pay for it to get you off his back...hopefully, he will be able see this stuff you have in your sinuses/throat also.

they try not to abuse the system when every hypochondriac has self-diagnosed a brain tumor or whatever and that's what they must think is going on with you.. you can get your MRI if you stay on it...maybe it will show up on x-ray and you'll be all set anyway.

best of luck!
