I was only eleven years old when my parents found out that I was going to spend my life suffering from Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s disease is a disease that attacks your intestines and stomach.
I often have problems using the bathroom and after eating, I am a mess. There have been a couple of ways for me to deal with the problem. I’ve taken a number of pain relievers. Sometimes they help and sometimes they do not provide any relief. The pain from Crohn’s was so unbearable that I finally decided to talk to my doctor about a prescription for medical marijuana. My doctor was hesitant to prescribe medical marijuana. I practically had to beg the guy to recommend another doctor that would write the prescription. I spoke with someone at the dispensary specifically about Crohn’s disease and the problems I was having. Believe it or not, the budtender actually suffered from Crohn’s as well. The two of us talked for almost an hour. The woman had a lot of recommendations to make. She told me about a couple of items that she prefers to use during the day and she also suggested some items that would be better for nighttime use. I left a medical marijuana dispensary feeling like I had more hope than I did in the past. After three months of consistent and constant medical marijuana use, I can honestly say that I am feeling better. Not only do I feel better day to day, but overall, I believe that my health is better. My doctor hasn’t seen me for any flare-ups in the last 60 days.
