The medications that change who we are

65. The really scary part is this accelerates greatly in the elderly.

I was one of the lucky ones, medicine worked on me as it should - almost all the time. Only had issues with Ibuprofen due to my stomach problems. At 66 I had 2 head traumas, almost died, and got neck fusion & discectomy to save my life - no choice. Well, everything was going well for first 5 days, but I was getting dizzier and dizzier and by day 6 could hardly walk without help and was also very nauseous and couldn't eat. I'd developed intolerances for drugs - just out of the blue. NSAIDS, narcotics, muscle relaxers, CBD oils don't work for me now and Neurosurgeon said I'd be highly at risk if need surgery. The only thing I can do for my back pain issues is smoking or vaping pot. My goal for last year was to totally quit smoking/vaping, but now that's all that works for me. I have tried 4 different types of CBD oils, including one I was told was designed for people with Krohns', but all cause issues with my stomach within 1-3 days. CBD is good with stress, anxiety and muscle/nerve pain & inflammation, so keep hoping there's something somewhere that doesn't kill my stomach and is affordable (patches work great but are too expensive for every day use). In the meantime, I have learned so much about pot, never knew about the joys of terpenes and different strains until medical mj.

If anyone knows of any CBD product which works but doesn't hurt gastritis & hyper acidic stomachs, please let me know. It'd be greatly appreciated.
