Gry could use your thoughts, prayers, meditations, or what ever you have to offer

Went to the appointment with the specialist yesterday.
Was met with three drs and it felt more like an
interrogation than a doctor's appointment.

It was explained to me that it would be expensive to
treat me, and there were several preconditions
which must be met.
Cannabis use disqualifies one for treatment.

Was told they would make an exception with sub-lingual use
because I have a documented history of not responding to
anti nausea meds.

They asked how I felt.
It feels much like walking though deep snow,
and that everything has become more difficult.
Body pains and extreme fatigue are normal.

That sounds like a tough day at the office, Gry. I am sorry to hear that everything has become more difficult. How are you doing with the mental part of this?

I am happy to hear that things are moving forward. So far, the docs I have interfaced with just nod & smile when I bring up mj. I make sure that I also tell them that I have full unopened bottle of Oxy that I don't take because of mj.

Years ago, I went to the hospital for a vasectomy. After the shaving & prep the doc came by and asked if I minded if he brought in a few interns to observe for training purposes. I agreed without really thinking about it & so ten minutes later, a dozen people were standing around staring at my dick.

Sorry for your ongoing issues Gry but you were very smart to document that only cannibus worked on the nausea, and as far as the sub-lingual use goes, I would imagine that you can fill that script and still ingest however much you want thru smoking/edibles, the old workaround.

........... damned insurance companies/hospitals and the hoops they make you jump through to keep their costs down and profits up.

Sure wish I could donate a kidney but at least you have a piece of my heart!

Thank you more than I can say to each of you. Life has changed immensely for me.
I get the best medical care that I could ever hope for, they bring me food, and
the weight loss has slowed down a good deal.
Thank and bless this community,

I´ve been wondering because I haven´t seen you on the forum much, but then again haven´t been too active myself either.
I hope you´re okay and it´s good to hear that you´re being taken care of!
I´m also glad that your weight loss is stabilizing !

 

[mean mr.mustard]

It's great to hear that you are doing better!

Onward and upward!

Hello hello, sorry it has been a while, but this stuff goes slowly.
They are treating me for MAC lung disease, a gift from time spent over in SE Asia.
They found I had Hep C and treated me for that, which was sure nice, but
murphy awaits such openings, and it seems I now blessed with shingles,
They have been real good to me, and I am genuinely impressed with the
quality of care that I receive. Medicare has been and is a blessing.

Renal Cell Carcinoma Podcast Parts I-V

 

[Gry]

I am sorry, I should have been more more informative concerning the above post.
I lost a kidney to clear cell carcinoma. Had the kidney go septic on me.
Weighed 215 pounds when it hit me, and was fit as could be.
I now weigh 125 pounds and have never fully recovered.
I would like others to be better informed than I was, which is why I posted that link.

One of the standards used in torture is organ failure, I have a more clear understanding
of why that is, than I ever needed to.
If you wonder if I did sue the MD who was caring for me, when this happened,
no, I did not. Was recently diagnosed with shingles which I am trying to figure out
how to deal with. Life is a blessing, and I feel like I have always been way more
fortunate than I ever deserved.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Your strength is inspirational!

You are here and thankful, that's all you need to be to live satisfied I feel.

I'm not sure about shingles yet but I'm going to read up on it... are you receiving any treatment for the condition?
