Hi there everyone. I'm new here and I've so much to learn. Let's begin with a little about me. I have severe fibromyalgia, I was diagnosed back in 1972. So I've been struggling and battling with this for many years now. I have been on many pharmaceutical medications over the years without much success. I've experienced many nasty side effects and allergic reactions as well.
Currently I am not on anything, my pain levels are very high and I'm not sleeping. All part of the fibro. I recently seen my family physician, and went thru all that we have tried without much success. I purposed to him that I would like to try medical marijuana, in order to ease my pain and hopefully help with my sleep. So was he on board with me doing this. I received a yes that I could go on it, BUT he will not prescribe it to me.
Really!? So how the heck am I to get this medical marijuana, if he refuses to prescribe to me?
I'm really at a loss here and feel as if I'm hitting a brick wall. I'm so frustrated with the medical system! Any advice for me? What are my options?
AND
Do any of you know of pot friendly doctors in the Red Deer, Alberta area?
Thank you, Debra
