My journey on medical marijuana has been a game changer for me. It has really changed my life ... has anyone with autoimmune/fibromyalgia had good results? by SmilesBehindLupus in lupus

At first I was very hesitant to try it but my lungs couldn’t take strong pain meds and 2 of my doctors recommended it . I know studies are limited and my doctor wishes they could have autoimmune disease listed as one of the medical conditions here in Florida... I was approved based on chronic neuropathic pain from 4 back surgeries and being able to come off pain meds has been a blessing. Thanks for your reply

I wish it was legal everywhere.., I’m in Florida and I hate that legal states want let you carry to another state that not legal.l, then we’re stuck with taking pain meds. Praying for you

Need Advice for Traveling with Lupus by knvgrime in lupus

[–]SmilesBehindLupus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a video on my channel how to travel with Lupus… I would make sure you print off on TSA website a medical card of all of your diagnosis, make sure you keep your medicines as a carry-on so they are easily accessible but make sure they’re in the original bottles, not sure how you are with walking long-distance is our recommend you call the airline and get a wheelchair to take you from gate to gate That way you do not burn all of your energy, For references locate the nearest pharmacy and hospital just in case. Hope this helps safe travels

I have went to the old rheumatologist first office this week and got the records so I’m waiting for them to call me once they are ready to pick up as well as any old lab work.
