I am so sorry that you have to anticipate the worst as the weather takes a turn... both of you.
I live in Tucson.
It is hot.
I do better intestinally and in my "monster avoidance tactics" when it is cooler also.
I have many metal parts, and am a patchwork of body repairs... so
the warm weather... while screwing with my gut, lets my limbs rest!
I'm the same way. When the weather turns warmer, the monster only gets worse. I'm usually in more pain, too. For the last week though, I've been walking pain free for the first time in almost 5 years. I have no idea why...that's Crohn's for you--unpredictable.I live in Tucson.

@GenYHippie, a contact lens storage case makes a great storage unit for a Solo owner. One side, keep finely ground herbs of choice stored. On the other side, well, I keep this empty so I can put the ABV from remote sessions within for later use. Since very decent contact lens cases can be obtained relatively cheaply (my English Teacher is throwing fits at this point in my fine use of the language), you can have more than one available in different locations.Now im keeping an extra jar of my PM meds with me
Im with you on this wonderful plant. When i got my card it was a long time coming. To me it was either try it or start setting aside funeral money and making plans because nothing was giving me any quality of life worth having.

The heat is no good at all!I'm the same way. When the weather turns warmer, the monster only gets worse. I'm usually in more pain, too. For the last week though, I've been walking pain free for the first time in almost 5 years. I have no idea why...that's Crohn's for you--unpredictable.
Dude, having read that.. Just broke my heart. I love you man, as does everyone here. Life gets tough and we need to carry each other through these hardships, and it's great that you can benefit from nature's remedy to ease your discomfort. I wish you all the best!I get very emotional when I discuss nausea. Any of you who do skype vape sessions with me can hear the tears in my voice when I talk about nausea.
I am crying now.
I was a championship fighter for my entire lifetime, and a dog trainer.
Never took a pill.. never puked.
I was Superman.
Things change!
After my coma, I was left with many issues. Spasticity, that makes my body twist in directions I am not planning on aiming! Pain that makes me shout out, and then publicly announce "hehe.. excuse me folks.. a bit of a cramp"
I have gotten over the self conciousness of a broken Gait as I walk..
But (the big but)
Every morning I wake up and forget the morning before... I think today will be OK...
but it never is.
I fall to my knees and cry daily..
At night Patty says "Honey, did you get your morning meds ground?".. I love Patty with all of my heart and I comply.
If I fall asleep or forget... when I wake up it is too late.
I hurry in the morning to grind some herb, and vape a fast stem.... if I wait to long.....
Patty will find me.
A grown man...
A once famous champion..... now a shattered man.... on his knees... in tears...
"Oh God... why... I didnt do anything bad... please God .. tell me why and I will be good.. I swear... "
Patty walks in... " Oh honey I am so sorry"... My 115 lb wife drags my crumpled form into my wheelchair from it's station on the floor at the toilet.
I am not embarrassed.. not humiliated at being an EX hero... now reduced to daily tears..
I am grateful... because without her help.. I would not be able to get myself to my meds to grind....
2 large vape hits, and the tears begin to dry...
I kiss my Patty.
"I am so sorry Patty... I am so sorry that this happens to me, and that you have to see it"
She doesn't use weed... but she understands..
"I am glad your OK now Vito... tonight I will remind you to get the Daily Grind done for tomorrow!"
When I qualified as an MMJ Patient.. they qualified me on 4 separate criteria.
I was and am a fighter....
Pain...haha... bring it on!. I am not afraid.
Neurapathy.. Mind over matter
Spastic Convulsion... what the hell you lookin' at??
but... Nausea...
Nausea you fucking Monster... YOU BEAST....
How I loath you...
I would kill you dead if I could... but I can not see you or touch you... and if you get too close.. I am powerless against you.
Now friends- you have read my true feelings about Nausea.
Anyone want to try to come up in here and take my MMJ card?
The heat is no good at all!
Hope you feel better soon.The heat always makes my nausea worse. I just had surgery on Friday, and thought I would be ok, but the vomiting started on Saturday. A record breaking heat day, of course.

Hey, @Crohnie, happy to hear about the pain free time you've had recently! Am not certain, but I believe there is an FC rule that demands we must now celebrate!!!!
I feel you!I count my blessings today, more fervently then I do on other days.
I did not get the visit today.
I never even smelled his breath.
I woke up and vaped 4 bags of blue dream at 377º on the Volcano.
the vapor does not always blossom to it's fullest boquet at that temperature until the middle of the filling of the second bag,....
so my quest for flavor dictated I do two bags at full flavor.
(bullcrap vitolo... you just wanted to catch a buzz)
I did catch a buzz alright...
and was heavily rewarded by the feeling of well being that accompanies a good solid buzz.... when accompanied by flavor.
The days are few that I make it through morning without being sick.
I guess I am here to share a good day.
Once in a blue moon....
I get to smile and feel like I have less baggage.
for this.....
I count my blessings today, more fervently then I do on other days.
I have been experimenting with digestive enzymes and having some success. I didn't realize how much they go away as you age. I was listening to a doctor speak about it and he said at age 50 your body makes 5% of the enzymes it used to and virtually no melatonin which is another thread, but I have been fighting sleep problems as well.
