Wondering if anyone can help me. New to mmj & need advice. [View all]
I have a unique situation. I am the mom of a special needs women.
She's always had digestive/ stomach probs but they have gotten worse - she has bouts of intense pain.
Working with a G/I doctor who does nothing but order more tests for her. I asked him for some pain medication for her. He said no. Opiates will constipate her and that's the last thing she needs..... just keep giving her tylenol. After giving her 6 doses of tylenol within 5 hrs one nite, I made an appointment the next day with a green doctor. And she got approved.
Here's where it gets weird. Because I am her caregiver I cannot go with her into a dispensary... Unless I want to pay $200/yr for a caregiver card.
The consultant at the green doc told me he will be happy to pick up whatever I need for her to save me the fee.
But since I can't go with her and talk to the people at the dispensary I don't know what formula/strain would be best for her. He kinda told me that mmj doesn't really help with pain, it just helps people relax? I've been doing some research online and reading that it does in fact help with pain. So I'm getting conflicting info.
This is all new to me. Does anyone know if there is a strain that would help her with intense stomach pain? Or what I should be asking for? Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
