Let's take those vibes up a few notches for Thomcat
he's at the doctor's office and may possibly be transported to the ER. He's keeping me updated with text messages and Priyanka is on standby...

11. Oh, crap.
I was hoping it was just a temporary increase in pain, and nothing bad. I hope he gets the care he needs. :(

17. ***UPDATE***
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 02:41 PM by lizziegrace
Thom just called. He's apparently in a cycle with migraines and they are not helped by the medications he's on. When one med was added a few months ago, it interacted with one of his migraine meds so he was taken off the migraine med. His speech is now halted, slow and at times slurred. He sounds like he's had a stroke. His balance is bad. The doctor assured him that it's a side-effect from a med combination and that it is not permanent or life-threatening. He *is* leaving the office with 7 new scripts.

Priyanka, he's heading back to his office because the pharmacy is right next door. He said his nephew is in town as of today and he will call him to be sure he's home tonight. Thom will text me when he leaves to go home. He may also try to see if he can get through to you. I really wish the doctor would admit him until he's stable.

Keep him in your prayers. This is no way to live. :(

21. I didn't know ThomCat was having problems
however, he should ask his doctor if mj would conflict with any of his meds and, if not, that is what he should use to control pain and vomiting from migraines. I doubt there would be any conflict and he would have immediate relief.

this is just one more reason the laws need to be reasonable about issues like this.

22. He started a thread last night asking for vibes
I've talked to him several times since. It's not good...

He won't be online tonight I'm sure but will pass information along. What is mj? Fortunately, he's not vomiting with the migraines.

27. yes. medical marijuana is legal in some states. not in others
sad to say.

it is the best treatment for migraines for some people.

people with various life-threatening illnesses have been helped by acknowledging that this herb contains healthy useful life-enhancing properties for people with MS, CP, and a variety of other conditions.

when my step-mom had cancer, I wish I had known where/how to get some for her. she had marinol, but it's not the same. She was so miserable in the late stages of her illness, it would have been an act of mercy to be able to stop the vomiting.
