I'm relatively new to this forum so I can't give you a lot of information about the forum that the more advanced members can. What I'd say is whenever you feel you may wish to talk about the prospect of surgery - post in the pain section of the forum - yes, back surgery is daunting. How are you sleeping? How are you managing with eating proper meals?
Best possible.. I've lost about 20 pounds due to the fact i had to cancel my gym membership and started drinking heavily for a while. It was depressing to not be able to work or exercise. I'm slowly getting better with the eating.. I have quit drinking and only smoke medical mj. Without cannabis & benzo's I think Id be dead by now or lost my mind. Thanks for the info! I will check out the pain/surgery section on my ipad, its easier to type but the desk is hell on my back.. if that makes sense, gotta take frequent smoke breaks anyway
I have a super hyperactive metabolism. If I dont eat 5-10 times a day I will lose weight. But with a little help from my girl mary I can gain 10lbs back in a week, easy. My Doc knows he just says eat and make yourself eat again. As far as sleep goes I have no pattern, usually dependant on when the pain is lower. I love Kratom, I try to avoid the 'hard' opiates (I am interested in opiates.. just moderate amounts, I've seen a lot of people lose control). I order about 1lb of kratom powder every week or so and it works wonders! I won't take any pk's stronger than tramadol unless I'm out of Kratom (Love my Red Maeng Da). Hopefully big pharma doesnt get a hold of this miracle plant. With the right source you can get up to 50x the analgesic relief morphine gives you. It's not the euphoria I'm after though.. well sometimes every is, right?
