MMJ & finally I was given the gift of life once more!!!!!
========================================================================
I have Meniere's disease and was ready to call it quits. After time, there wasn't a day that passed where the world wasn't spinning in overdrive and my head felt like a swollen hot air balloon. There were no activities with the family, no outings, rarely entertained guests. There is a cure for this, with a horrible side effect.... through surgery, they remove the part of your ears that handles balance and the dizziness goes away. The only thing is, the same part of your ear handles hearing too. So you trade losing the dizziness for your hearing. I went to doctors, specialists, and many others with "ists" at the end of their titles.... all with no progress towards gaining any resemblance of a normal life.
I was actually considering the surgery, as at all times my movements were hampered by lack of balance and nausea.... seasoned with the fear of starting a full blown episode (lasting 8+ hours, zero mobility, on my back, and throwing up constantly....).
By accident, I came upon a journal entry from another Meniere's sufferer who found relief with MMJ. That day, I was out getting my req and supplies.
So, in regards to this being a medicine, I'd back this absolutely.
Please share this with anyone if you feel it's appropriate or can help them.
I don't like to end on the negative, so will state that Meniere's has very little on me now. As for daily dizziness, it's gone!!!! I can walk without stumbling, run, bike, swim, and do all the things I never thought I would be able to do again. And as for the full blown episodes, yeah, they come once or twice a year.... but when they do I no longer spend 8 hours pressed into whatever surface I happen to be laying on, throwing up non-stop till passing out. Nope, when I feel an episode, I heavily medicate, then go sleep it off!
I went from ready to call it quits, to hoping I live to be 100-something!
When people state that MMJ is a gift, I believe many really have no idea!
Hope this helps and sorry for the amount of detail.....
Vape On!
