Age: 32
Sex: Female
Primary Medical Conditions: Severe Menstrual Pain
I have severe pain associated with my menstrual period, and sometimes faint or pass out on the first day of my moon. I also have constant mild lower back pain in the past few years, and have had mild asthma since I was about 14 years old (Yes, before I was a medical-or any kind-of marijuana user).
I notice that for all three of my conditions, especially the first two, medical marijuana helps tremendously. I’ve tried taking Advil, Naproxen, vitamin supplements, and birth control pills to control the symptoms of my menstrual fainting, vomiting, and pain, but none of these help like herb does. I don’t pass out or vomit anymore and rarely need to supplement herb medicine with other meds like Advil. I do currently take Advair for my asthma once a day, but that’s less than I used to have to in past years. I use cannabis to relieve menstrual, back, and sometimes headache pain, and it works very well for me. I smoke my medicine from a water pipe most of the time, but occasionally smoke a pipe or joint, too. I’m grateful for my favorite flower!
