I'm hoping that once I get some mostly CBD Strains going and processed right I'll be able to at least partially keep the Inflammation down, high THC/low CBD isn't going to do it, or at least any benefit has not been apparent. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the levels of other inflammation meds at a low dose at minimum once I get there.
The injections and Sumatriptan are all in reaction to coming off the Steroids, which are a poison and very bad long term/high dose, so they're only temporary. I was on the Sumatriptan before Steroids, it helps with the migraines but not my shoulders and hips. I've had the injections a couple of times even on the Steroids, because they pretty much remove the hip/shoulder pain, but they only help with frequency and intensity at my max dose.
I'm not sure what the replacement is but it's safer than Prednisone, aka The Devil's Tic-Tacs in the community.
The Neuro meds deal with Dopamine levels to allow communication between the brain and body. While I do have some reduced tremors from cannabis, it's not nearly enough and I suspect is only reducing the portion of the tremors related to the stress caused by the disease. The reality with those is once they stop working I'll pretty much be done for as far as cognition.
They only suppress the symptoms by overloading my dopamine levels to "arc" across the dying connections, there is no cure, and they have a limited working period based around where in progression one is, the earlier the longer they'll work. For me the guess is 2-5 years, could be less or more but that's the avg time-frame.
Weird Fact, The number one cause of death for people with my disease is pneumonia, followed by random infection. Quite honestly for me, and not to dismiss anyone's views or opinions, I'd much rather have a terminal diagnosis like advanced cancer or something. The idea of becoming a gibbering pile of flesh, who can't even recognize his own children simply terrifies me. I'm comfortable with what I've done in life and my place in the universe. It's also not uprising that suicide ranks high as a cause of death with this.
Anyways enough of that shit!
Favorite plant is hard to say, they all have something.
Wonder Woman - Impressed with her uniform strong growth and bud site production. Also love the bud formation.
Northern Light - Flowering stretch took her from where I was concerned about her ability to hold her own in the tent to just dominating. Great Tric production. Buds seem a bit more "airy" than I prefer, but still and amazing grow.
Candida - Should have never been in this grow, the Wonder Woman out grew her in veg and then in flower NL just over shadowed her. Having said that, she's an extremely hearty plant with great bud formation. She's also the strain I'm most interested in post harvest because of her insane CBD levels with low THC. It's gonna take some dialing in the grow and more importantly the processing but I suspect she'll play a major role in my med cannabis routine.
Any thoughts on harvest time?
