What's on your Wednesday Menu?

If it's bad when you lie down, and better sitting up, it could be gerd.

Just hope you don't ignore it, for obvious reasons. I know what it's like to have so much health stuff going on you can't diagnose the underlying causes. Doctors become even less helpful when your symptoms can have so many factors.

Hope you're okay tonight. And thank you. I'm happy to be here.

Breathing troubles sounds scary, please get checked out.

It is. If it happens again tonight I'm going to contact the pain clinic. I may just have to adjust my bed to more of a sitting position.

thank you :o)

Hugs and best wishes.

Thanks so much!

You've mentioned a few times that you don't think it's effective for the pain and given all the side effects, is taking it out the better option? Could they just drain it so you don't have to go through another procedure? I don't know much about how they work so not sure if that's even a possibility.

They said it will have to come out if it doesn't work out. At this point I want it the heck out too. It has been nothing but a nightmare.

If they are unwilling to try anything else I may leave the practice and try medical marijuana. It's about all I have left to try.

thanks!

Can you try medicinal MJ while in practice?

My PM doc doesn't care if people test positive for THC. I don't use MJ but i use D8 or D9 THC to help me sleep when Im really stressed.

My problem with MJ -or THC D9 (from hemp) is that it gives me munchies. Serious case of "I am starving, I need to eat".

After taking relatively small amount of Delta 9 THC I had a few episodes of half-asleep eating at night. I would be almost asleep in bed and my body would make me go and get something to eat. I sometimes woke up 2-3 hrs later on a sofa with partially eaten food beside me or on top of me. Thankfully - almost every time I got aged cheese - so not too much mess. But sometimes I used a knife to slice small pieces from a larger chunk of cheese, and sleeping with a knife is not a good idea.

Melody- that sounds like water retention and the difficulty breathing when you lie down could be fluid in your lungs. Why do you think it is related to the pain pump?
