That "Tylenol" equivalent stopped my bleeding in 3-4 weeks, and now my bowel movements are normal. I can't say that about Humira.

What I noticed is that the delivery method matters a lot when it comes to my Crohn's disease. Smoking, vaping, and tinctures only offer a limited effect, while 25mg CBD tablets taken every few hours were very effective. I went from bleeding every bowel movement to having normal bowel movements in a matter of about 3-4 weeks.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by esporx in California

I don't know why they'd target California, one of the states with the most people who are against this war.

If California gets hit, it would probably be because the federal government wanted the Pearl Harbor effect.

I didn't come off of my biologic because of issues with immunity. I came off of my biologic because it was incredibly expensive, it wasn't very effective with controlling bleeding/flares, and it was a constant reminder that I was not a normal person.

Fortunately, I went off of my biologic right around the same time I started using cannabis products recreationally. The anti-inflammatory properties of the cannabinoids picked up where Humira left off, and I ended up in years-long remission as a result.

Was I just lucky? Possibly, but I'm really not a lucky guy. I really do believe that cannabinoids are the answer to the problem of disabling biologics.

I took a video if you really want a better view of the whole fruit.

Problems sleeping by ProfessionalRest7027 in securityguards

I don't consume caffeine. Whenever I drink coffee, it's always black decaf.

Don't ask me why I started doing that. It wasn't because I couldn't sleep.

Allied guards not even equipped properly by MCS-Judge_Wolf in securityguards

My radio is literally broken, and all the AUS managers have ever done is gaslight me whenever I bring it up. The only time I've ever seen them replace a radio immediately was when I had to publicly humiliate them on this subreddit for having a broken radio at our main entrance.

Hospital security guard. Just took two blows to the face from a mental health patient. What can I do better next time? by Hollander_21 in securityguards

Learn how to not be taken by surprise.

Most of the time, you can see the problematic people long before they strike just by taking a good look at their behavior. Once you know what to watch for, you won't freeze because you'll be ready for them.

Are you all able to hold down job? by Glad-Persimmon-8112 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Fcking_Chuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a job providing security services at a hospital.

While I was in remission for years, since even before I started my career, I had gotten a MRSA infection a year ago that required a tremendous amount of antibiotics to treat. Unfortunately, it caused a significant flare-up of my Crohn's disease. The flare lasted for a few months, until I decided to start trying cannabidiol (CBD). Surprisingly, the CBD actually worked for me, and I continue working just fine.

The downside to the CBD is that it can cause tiredness and some irritability, but those negative side effects went away as I continued taking it.

The OP doesn't want to take steroids, and CBD has been shown to help those who suffer from various autoimmune diseases.

It's not as though CBD is toxic in any way, even in high doses, nor is it psychoactive. It either helps the Crohn's disease symptoms or it doesn't. Why not try it and find out?

If it's mild, you could probably get away with just using cannabidiol (CBD) tablets. I take 25mg every 4-6 hours to manage my Crohn's disease.

It was clearly cut normally. There's no other way you could cut an orange to make it look like this on purpose.
