My fellow #fibromyalgia #arthritis and #chronicpain suffers, if you’re like me and you’re perpetually doing too much but love it, how do you get through flare ups fatigue and pain when you do have a lot to do?
I’ve been in a rut.

Weekend Away Finally!

As you are reading this we are on our way to the lake. We plan on leaving before the sun comes up to beat the morning work traffic. Yesterday my son drove me to the other pharmacy and the grocery store so that was all done before noon. We had the camper and truck loaded except for the coolers by 3 pm yesterday. It’s not like we are ready to get the hell out of town for a weekend! Normally this would be one of our final camping trips of the year instead of our first trip of the season. Between putting our dog down, losing my brother-in-law suddenly and the heat of summer coming early, we haven’t been camping since the first weekend in November last year. This is the first summer since we’ve had our camper that we never got to camp. Normally we’d be out at the lake almost every other weekend from the middle of March through the end of May. Then again at the end of September through the beginning of November. Not this year, things just never fell into place especially when it got hot so damn early this year. We have an air conditioner in the camper but I want to be outside when I’m camping, not stuck in the camper because it is too hot outside. Camping is the only time I get high to just get high. Not for medication purposes, no, solely for being high at the lake purposes. I treat myself to a weekend. That way my tolerance levels don’t change. If I got high all day, everyday it would cost me a fortune in gummies and RSO. When I’m at home I use THC as medication and take it once a day at 4 pm, enjoying my evening high works enough for me. It helps relax me and keeps all my horrible pain away. The aches I can deal with, I’d be surprised at my age if I didn’t have a few aches here or there. It is all that bone deep constant pain that would hammer away at me day in and day out that I don’t miss. No marijuana took all that horrible pain away for me. From daily use the CBD and THC has built up in my system and literally took the pain away. The “bad pain days” are far behind me. Pain no longer keeps me stuck in bed or on the couch. Thanks to me transitioning to marijuana to managing my chronic pain I’m up living a life again. I’ll be opioid free for four years this January. I have marijuana to thank for the changes I’ve been able to make in my life since then. I’m more active with a sore hip than I could ever have been when I was still all messed up on opioids. I made it all the way through the entire mall two weekends ago, plus the huge candy store, basketball game and a birthday party last weekend. I could have never pulled all of that off when I was still on opioids. I would have cancelled or only been able to make the birthday party. I’m not joking, it was that bad. Half the time I was so miserable in pain I didn’t want to be around other people. It was a very lonely, depressing time in my life by my own choices. Plus there is no clear thinking when you are on opioids. It is just not possible. That is why I’ve become a yes person. Anytime someone asks me if I want to do something the answer is now always a YES. I missed out on making so many memories that I don’t want to miss out on anymore. Hey, when you are fortunate enough to be blessed with incredible adult children and perfect grandchildren like I have, how can I turn down spending time with them? I don’t remember anything from those years I was on opioids. Some blips and blurs and that is about it. So I’m down to making new memories that I can remember with everyone else! I’m hoping by writing about this each day and sharing my journey off of opioids to manage my chronic pain with marijuana can help someone do the same and take control back of their lives. I’m so thankful I was able to make this transition and turn it into a positive part of my life. I know my children are happy to have their mom back. They know I’m back to thinking clearly and living without all that horrible pain dragging me down. All because I chose a plant over a pill. Thank you marijuana!
