I'm honored to meet you. My best friend is souix with dreams of retiring to family land in North Dakota. If you're looking for company to keep your mind distracted from the pain, boy did you find the right site!
There's someone roaming these digital streets all day and night. I probably keep the longest hours, but I'm quirky like that.
About the pain, if you're taking any of the opiods for pain you should preceed every dose with at least a single hit of cannabis. The THC makes the opiod more powerful and makes it last longer. Anytime you can take less of a dangerous drug it's a good thing in my book. Also, are you growing anything with at least an equal ratio of CBD:THC? Such a strain will do much to cover the pain issues, not only symptomatically, but as a healing source. I've been absolutely stunned at the healing potential and effectiveness of the CBD strains. I have one I vape when the upper back aches: first inhalation the pain diminishes to 50%, second it drops to 10%. The third inhalation kicks it out and keeps it at bay.
Which reminds me that I've been posting for hours and the back's wondering if I'm going to get that session of qi gong in. Later guys.
