My Treatment Story: A Review of my Co-op.

Top NOTCH as USUAL: thanks to the PROFESSIONALS!

My apologies to the delivery staff for my messy apartment...LOL.

I haven't been feeling too good: combination of stress and winter weather hitting this person: and ID theft: fortunately what is the most important remains carefully protected.  Always.

I did as any responsible voter would and did not vote for the initiative, but less responsible parties obviously felt otherwise.

It seems that I do owe you an update, however: the excellent service, and phone calls and seeing how I was doing with beginning treatment with full-strength Rick Simpson Oil for RSD/CRPS, aka, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. 

After 30 years of this disorder-something you don't wish on your worst enemy, and this I mean with every bit of sincerity: and like I said, since the age of SEVEN I have had this: and everything but the hair on my head is affected: face, and internal organs, etc.  No, I am not hospice material..  I intend to stick around for a long time.

Watch grandchildren grow up and that kind of thing.  Help them learn the truth: and responsible ways of hemp use.  The reason?

Because what pays is hard work, such as with the friendly, HONEST staff at CCC, their caring and compassionate atmosphere, and that they have shown much compassion to me in the last ensuing weeks, and my gratitude is so extensive I wish I could thank you some other way, but this will have to do: unless.... ;-) (like uh, you need help? A college degree in nursing that I have no intention of taking part in: as they are now tied by ego)

Well, nuff said about unhealthy.  What is important is doing what makes you well.  That is what I term "Dope."  It is doing what makes one well.  I have also, by now, gastroparesis, and am well underweight, and now am finally gaining.

Finally worked up nerve and hired a NEW physician, who will not label me, and saw her today: and wore a sweatshirt sent to me by a friend who saw a photo of me the DAY after I began treatment with FULL strength.  It says "MMJ is hope for JJ" and nothing could be further from the truth.
My disorder has little out there unless you have a vested interested in veterinary medicine or ketamine-out of what I felt was lack of choice until someone important to me pointed out the obvious (that this is legal where I live, unfortunately now so is the stuff that should not be, essentially so it's especially important for me to go to CCC: the numbers game is far too important!!!  I for example, do not sleep for days if I consume too much (15% or more) Sativa, but it's good for a smile.  I have to watch the CBD's or panic attacks: CCC staff watches out for this for me: and recommends within these parameters for anything (a "PRN" is what I call it, LOL), and quite honestly, I am stunned...at the results since I began with CCC, and I believe my neurologist will be also on Friday.

I am having to still take minimal medication (but VERY much LESS toxic; and disposal felt great: shoving it across the counter at a pharmacy and telling them to "get rid of this garbage and don't refill a thing" felt wonderful.

Some days are better than others, and winter can be especially bad: especially in CRPS: and November is CRPS awareness month.  I wish CCC staff well, I want to thank you so much for your concern with recent events, down to my safety, and that I have what I need to get by for medication, and for some enjoyment.  And also, I look forward to future donations (in the morning) ;-), I hope to hear the phone... But every person needs their rest.  My ketamine friends think they are made well.  But every four months, they take their ports, and line up for it.  BUT NOTE: that is what is AVAILABLE to them.  I am fortunante to have something far better:



1.  A now functioning immunen system.  I contracted the flu.  Gone in two weeks.  For this girl?  A record.  For H1N1, who knows, but the doctor said I am good to go.  And had no idea as to why my speedy recovery.  I pointed to my sweatshirt, quietly ignoring the cup on the counter (smelled like chocolate, added); and I hope to soon be in the kitchen again.

Cleaning first.

2.  I have had x-rays and a bone scan.  The changes in bone loss have began to reverse themselves.

3.  I also had a gastroparesis diagnosis.  I now move, pass, and eat food (except with the flu: Pedialyte is what was advised, I listened and FELT better, so I pay attention. To what my BODY says),

4.  I have hair coming in instead of falling out.  Caused by the level of pain from CRPS; Google the "McGill Pain Index" and personally I believe pain to be subjective, and it should be THROWN out, because we are all different and handle things differently.  If my hair wasn't pulled back much of the time, or braided, 3/4 down my back since my shoulders in 01/12

5.  MY CAUSE is being treated, I feel, not covering it up by shutting ME up with shoving my body full of toxic substances.

I am FOR legalizing marijuana: for MEDICAL use-for people who need it.  Not those who abuse the process.  Or take a license, and oh, people would cringe.  Most of you know is the sad part.


The awesome part is even with bills as they are?  I have just enough room for some "extras" this month.  Thanksgiving, early Christmas?  I am simply grateful.  I feel human again.

Thanks yes, to the MMJ.

FROM CCC.  I would not recommend anywhere else.  Honestly, who else would tell you that "take the medicine (antibiotic) and call when the infection is gone" (until I discovered the Rick Simpson Oil cure for cancer, and wondered what it would do for me.)




I did see the doctor today: and she was surprised at how well I am doing , and a NEW doctor at that.  Why?  You guys and a couple others helped me realize something:  I deserve better than what I got.

No, maybe the RSD couldn't be helped: people don't know that as intensive as surgeries get, the chances of RSD increase to as much as 15% of people who have an elective orthopedic surgery, a ROM disorder surgery, back surgery: spine fusions are the worst offenders from what other CRPS patients tell me!!!)

But I feel I have a different outlook because I simply have realized, accepted limitations, and realized it all does not have to suck.  You don't have to lay on the couch with a pill bottle, digging out of it, or what have you; but simply just  take it, and continue on.  I have a friend who doesn't have MMJ available: she makes do with what she has to.

But inspired by the "medical housecleaning?" Yeah, I went through a "list" of docs or healthcare providers, and one by one, checked the names of those who are of the following categories:

• Treats me like a number
• Cannot remember who I am.
• Doesn't even know what city I live in.
• Acts like I am a drug addict.  I have not said "ANGEL" folks, no one is.  Nor have I said, "Throw me a parade"
• Prescribed or does, any "therapy" be it any PT or OT, etc, or medication that is CONTRAINDICATED for my disorder.
• loses sight that they too are ones that make mistakes
• Treats me or anyone representing me as less than human.

Evidence shows CRPS is Autoimmune.  To do with the immune system and affects the neuromuscular system.

Working a miracle each day I can have less pain.  That is mine.  Thanks guys!!!.
