Deep vein thrombosis, leg ulcers, recovering heroin addict

Friday 26 Sep 2008

Well where to start i have deep vein thrombosis in my right and main veins
AND i have on top of this ulcers on this leg witch fluctuate bigger and
smaller but in three years has never gone completely so this causes my
nerves to be showing around and in the ulcer so as you can imagine the
smallest of knocks courses me to feel excruciating pain, but because of the
swelling i feel pain all the time), with this my limphinodes in my leg fill
with liquid so it swells up and down all the time, some times my leg swells
up to 24 inches that's a 2 foot calf just under my knee, anyway also i have
been a recovering heroin addict for about three years now but was in active
addiction for over 15 years,i was on 200mls of methadone a day i begged and
pleaded with my specialist addictions doctors to put me on to anything else
bar that but they would not basically because of money, after about 9 months
of being on this silly amount of methadone i started to get problems with
this (legal drug)for one it can make my feel very drowsy and it is so acidic
that it burnt my stomach lining and a few times i woke up choking to death
because of stomach acids and other stuff went back up into my throat, but
still when i asked for help they couldn't really be bothered, well i was
still only a smack head i there eyes, just after Christmas of 2007 i started
smoking cannabis again and straight away i noticed that it help me with
(well loads actually) my pain started to ease i started to get up in the day
and do a few things it made my life style a hell of a lot better and easier
to manage with in 6 months of starting to smoke and eat cannabis i went into
my drugs worker and said i wanted to cut down to 150mls in one go, this has
never been done before in the UK he told me and recommended that i did it
slowly( as i hated being on the stuff) so i cut out 50mls in one go
straight away i felt more alive more awake, and now i feel ready to cut out
more methadone, but with out cannabis all of my recovery and my future would
not of be possibl!
y at all
, i would like to add that cannabis is reconised in America and other
country to have medical property so why do they still not aloe us the people
to have our healing plant as it is just a plant natural put here by god for
us to use as we see fit as responsible patients and people, this plant can
help and heal so many people why do they still hold it from us??? do our
government think they know more then god??? anyway keep using cannabis, keep
hounding your government to give us people that can benefit from it to have
it and use it as we see fit,,, not victim no crime, take care and thanks for
reading my testie oooo he said testie he he he he,,
