I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and I have had somewhere near 250 broken bones ranging from a simple finger fracture to a compression fracture of my T8 vertebrae and even a few compound fractures breaking the skin. At any moment I could trip and fall and likely spend the next three months getting better. For the first years of my life all they did was prescribe me Ibuprofen for my pain and were reluctant to prescribe n*rcotic pain relievers because of the addiction issues. I now have two erosions in my intestines and suffer from severe indigestion and Gastro Paresis. These are so bad that I have to take the dangerous drug Regl*n for my symptoms. I have smoked marijuana since I was younger and find that I get more symptom relief than I do from any n*rcotic. When I finally found a doctor to help me with my pain, the opi*ids he prescribed just caused me severe constipation that only made my stomach and digestive problems worse. Not to mention the chemically addictive properties of the n*rcotics. I now have my Michigan MMJ id card and I am growing my own to save money. It is ridiculous how much an ounce of quality MMJ costs these days. I can’t wait until I can reap the rewards.
