Hi Everyone,
I'm glad I found you all...
I suffer from Chronic pain, RA, PA, OA, FM, DDD C4 to C7.
I have been taking Oxycontin for my pain now for over 8 years. I slowly creeped up to a very high doseage before I realised it wasn't doing enought to warrent the amount I was taking. So slowly over the last 1.5 years I have been eliminating my Oxy. However I am really struggling with day to day pain...even hypnosis and meditation aren't helping enough so my Dr wants me to try Cesamet (synthetic Marajiauna).

Does anyone have any experience with it? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,

SherrySmiler

Hello Sherry

It's really a pleasure to meet you and we're glad that you've found us too.

I've not heard of that exact med name, but I do know of others who have had great success with another type of THC medication and a good friend of mine has had wonderful results. He's been able to gradually wean himself off his other pain meds and know he only needs one tablet on rare Breakthrough episodes and he's really done great. Kind of like Miracle Great!

If my doctor would let me try one of these meds for my pain, I would jump on it. Great results, hardly (if any at all) side effects and very great for pain relief.

You might want to create another discussion with the name of the med & Marajuana in the subject line and others may give you some better answers & suggestions.
You also could create a sharepost out in the shareposts area and you may get alot of interest in this topic as well.

If you need any help finding anything or navigating the site, just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out.

Welcome again & it's my pleasure!
Betty
