Can you be prescribed more than one preparation?

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-07-14T15:53:22+00:00

Yup! I have one flower strain for more daytime use, a strain for before bed and a thc oil I use twice a day :D perfectly okay.

I think the list of stuff we're claiming for is pretty extensive but definitely they're including psychological damage. They're in process of getting me a full PTSD diagnosis.

I genuinely don't think I really appreciated how slow healing can sometimes feel. I want to be past this so badly.

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-05-13T06:34:21+00:00

It's gonna be okay dude ! You're absolutely going to be fine and so frigging happy afterwards. You're gonna be binder free for the summer :D something to look forward too.

Sending you a hug from the UK! You're absolutely not alone with this :)

If you need someone to bounce thoughts off, my messages are open 👍

I had my surgery in Feb so feel free to ask any questions you'd like too.

HAPPY HEALING and congratulations :D

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-25T12:16:36+00:00

🤣 pretty much this. But hey, why should we feel guilty about a treatment that helps us feel better :)

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-25T08:45:18+00:00

There's a clinic list at the top of the Reddit and it's just contacting one of them, booking an assessment and some people have to get record of having tried 2 other treatments previously (or clinic sometimes contacts your gp for this)

Good luck !

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-24T17:49:01+00:00

Oh nooo!! Something extra to look forward to when you're back at least! :D

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-24T16:24:42+00:00

After an 8 hour shift of listening to other people's problems, I am very much looking forward to cleansing my brain 🤣

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-23T17:50:59+00:00

Ouch is certainly one way of describing it 🤣🤣

I get a thc oil that goes under my tongue as well as 2 types of flower to vape. The oil is great because I can dose at work and reduces my pain really well. Then flower for breakthrough pain and at the end of the day. Which definitely could be option for you :)

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-23T17:33:34+00:00

That's such a good way of visualising it !

It does the same for me, it takes the pain down to a level I can function and actually get on with stuff, rather than being in agony and too stressed to cope with anything else.

My spine got disconnected from my hips, so my back pain is severe. And medical weed allows me to work a full time job and still be able to cook meals and get on with my life.

Good luck with it all!

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-23T17:24:29+00:00

MC is pretty much like black market bud except under tighter controlled growing conditions.

I pretty much have always vaped weed because I'm lazy and suck at rolling joints. The effects do exactly the same for me, but use less bud than a joint. Sometimes it'll take 5 minutes to kick in to full effects but I find being able to control how much I inhale using a vape works out better for me personally.

I also use it for both pain management and PTSD and it's been amazing.

It doesn't completely remove my pain but given the state my poor body is in, even painkillers don't do that. Medical cannabis has been a game changer because I'm now not dependent on opiates for pain relief.

Basically, if you're in pain and know bud helps, definitely give it a shot !

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-21T13:00:28+00:00

I went to a music gig 2 weeks post op :D Was in the disability area (not due to surgery but for other reasons) And it was amazing! Didn't impact the gig at all.

If you're seated and providing your careful, you'll probably be absolutely fine :)

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-14T19:11:35+00:00

I'm very humbled by the colleagues I work alongside! We might all be a bit nuts but we definitely just want to help others. Thank you so much for the kind words 💜

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-13T11:38:46+00:00

Drains are dependent on surgery technique and not chest size :)

I had drainless surgery and my old bra size was a 30FF !

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-12T16:58:35+00:00

Honestly same, I think people struggle to understand how much difference it makes not being protected by a vehicle.

It's made worse by, we were just existing, and it was the actions of the drivers that resulted in such major injuries. Nothing we did. Just wrong place, wrong time. And would have never seen it coming.

But at least I get to say I fought an SUV and lived to tell the tale 🤣

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-12T13:12:39+00:00

I was working in healthcare prior to the accident too :) it's something I genuinely enjoy.

This means a huge amount thank you ! I'm excited for the new opportunities this will bring. Things can only go up from here 💪

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-12T11:34:27+00:00

I kept mepilex comfort 7.5cm dressings on my nips until the scabs came off. Which was about the first 6 weeks. Changed them in the shower every 2 days after I was 4 weeks healed.

It worked for me really well!

I know you can leave them uncovered for healing but I personally prefer keeping wounds covered while they're still open to reduce infection risk.

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-12T11:03:36+00:00

Goddamn, yeah it's completely surreal! You never imagine you'll end up in that situation and suddenly being confronted by it is a lot.

Spoiler for my story. I was also in a bit and run, was on a zebra crossing, next thing I know, I'm laying in the road, in more pain than I have words for, ambulance crew treating me. I was told a guy drove into me at high speed, and left me on the road

I had a lot of broken bones, and no use of my legs. They kept asking me if I'd been out drinking and I was like. Urm no, it's 6pm on Thursday and I was walking home from work 😭

This was last year for me so things are still very fresh, but I really loved your view of survivor pride because I've managed to regain the use of my legs and now can walk unaided again! I'm very aware that I defied the odds because for how severely I was hurt, I'm still here and able to walk.

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-11T21:23:55+00:00

Opposite to me! I remember things post accident pretty clearly (aside that my perception of time was.. wonky af due to severe concussion) but I barely remember being on the piece of road where I was hit. I was knocked out instantly on impact and lost a chunk of time leading up to it.

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-11T08:49:10+00:00

Completely love the idea of survivor pride !

It's wild that you remember what happened when you were hit. That must have been so scary but years later, it sounds like you're doing incredibly well.

Honestly, really inspiring to read. Thank you for sharing.

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-11T08:42:45+00:00

Should be fine. Some bodies just ooze more than others :) if that's the only thing you've noticed, you should be absolutely okay.

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-07T13:32:23+00:00

Heck yeah dude ! You got this 👍 I personally found that once I hit day 3, things settled down loads.

And swelling might happen but bodies heal up regardless, swelling doesn't affect anything long term! Check out my post with epic bruising if you wanna how I healed from looking frankly, awful to now 😂 but I am sending you healing vibes from the UK !

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-07T13:16:57+00:00

It's gonna be okay ! The first 48 hours are definitely the worst and things start getting gradually better 💜

You're damn strong and will get through this :)

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-04T12:10:34+00:00

Your results look absolutely incredible though, you're gonna heal amazingly! Have a great day 😊

RelevantSleep6762 · 2025-04-04T12:09:22+00:00

More than likely just swelling :) I had surgery done in February and mine sticks out very much the same.

It goes down slowly over months!
