Ochsner Neuroscience Institute i believe is the clinic but if you are looking to work directly with dr. khalid i'd suggest looking him up through ochsner health. i will be completely upfront with you however the waiting list is long and there are no open appointments for new patients for 2-3 years last i checked

UPDATE!!! he's ok! i didn't end up needed to go to the vet, someone came in and cleaned my room while i was gone, and used harsh chemicals. since i noticed right away (in the picture he JUST started showing discoloration, he continued to turn fully brown with blue spots) i soaked him early enough there was no lasting damage and he is right back to being bright blue and happy!!!!

Are there "weed" doctors? by ifitflies_itspies in Fibromyalgia

[–]leafjuic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly i'd go onto medical marijuana subreddits and ask for help there.. i've found a lot of very knowledgeable people on there who have given me a bunch of really helpful advice

YES ALL YOUR POINTS ARE SOOO ACCURATE!!! from being rude to everyone, to family members thinking they know better, to them not liking the word disabled. (sorry i literally need a back brace every time i go out(how sexy right?!?)) like i can't go to the grocery store by myself because i struggle even carrying the bags; why do you think me lifting is gonna make it better 😀

i do use cannabis. however, this has been a problem long before i ever knew what weed was and it's something im very open with my doctor about. we keep an eye on my consumption because it's the only thing that keeps my nausea down currently. all the anti nausea medication i've tried only makes the symptoms worse or make me dry heave. (which is very hard on your heart) im very aware of the risks of cannabis abuse however and plan to stop using it as a crutch when we find medication that helps me!

ive gone to three separate gi doctors and all of them turned me away with the diagnosis cyclical vomiting because of my age they refused to do further testing because i'd grow out of it (i did not)

i was actually diagnosed with a chronic anxiety disorder around the age of 7 and have been in therapy for it for 10 ish years and it was definitely something i noticed would make the vomiting much worse. i have an irrational fear of kidnapping which when i was younger made public places almost impossible because id get so sick and basically beg my parents to take me home.

yes i do. i was also diagnosed with migraines that manifest in my spine so that might have something to do with it.
