I am new to this. Unfortunately for me due to a medical procedure gone bad I suffered a stroke in August at the ripe age of 51. (Hence the name CVA_51) I have been in intense pain behind my eye ever since then. Been put on a ton of pain meds, which I do NOT want to be on. They don't address the real issue, the pain. I have heard there are strains specifically raised to help people who have suffered a stroke or have bad headaches. I have my appointment on Friday with a doc that was actually referred by my Primary Care Physician. My PCP is one of the few that actually encourages it, but due to being part of a major health system unable to "prescribe" it for me. I am very thankful that my PCP even gave me a referral! (off the record of course, but did give me appropriate records to bring with me to the appointment).
I haven't smoked any MJ since the early 80's back when it was junk and full of seeds lol. My PCP advised me the strains are MUCH stronger these days and to be careful of what I get, and make sure to get a good caregiver that is willing to help me and not sell me junk. I am not seeking a "high", but rather a mild sedative state would be okay, but the big thing I want is to be free from this pain. I am on so many narcotic pills that I am surprised my stomach hasn't exploded yet. I hate taking them!
Since I am new to this, I am wondering if any caregivers do the oil or butter form? I am not a smoker and want to stay that way. I definitely prefer the edible forms. Any advice and help would greatly be appreciated!!!! Thank you so much in advance.
