Talking about the medical card and mj

[Macgavock]

Dealing with the craziness of crohns is difficult, but how do we talk about it to people who know we are sick and inquire with regard to our feeling,health and how to pray for us?

Do you stay silent, smile bravely and say everything is fine even though you are in a fight for your life or one or more of your body parts. OR do you talk about what you are going through with the possibility of obtaining or having a medical mj card?









The physical aspects of crohns I.e. looking normal but feeling tired, dealing with fissures, hemrrhoids, abscesses, surgery and their associated pain and feverish sweats is difficult.

Actually putting medicine (prednisone, 6mp, lialda, remicade) into your body that really affect your body (swelling arthritis jet.pain nausea, hair loss, cancer), and can hurt you is a tough mental battle.

Then having a potential medicine with few side effects, but you have to be a refugee of Your home state to get yourself or your loved one the medicine and the stress in coping. .

Do you use the opportunity to educate just one more person? Who may be able to vote to make changes....

Where are the crohnie pr people that help us talk to our communities?:ghug:

I let those close to me know what's going on. Others may know I have Crohn's and it can be painful at times, but don't know the details or that I have a MM card.

Some know I have a card, mainly those are others that have similar diseases (my mom knows I have a Mm card and she has UC.....but refuses to try it, my MIL has cancer and is open to learning about it but feels she can handle the pain and nausea on her own, and her doctor doesn't recommend it.....). Others have no idea I have a MM card.
