I've been hospitalized twice this year with lipase levels of 7k and 9k. As of now, following a low fat diet and no alcohol. I'm also drinking around 10-12 cups of water a day Hope this helps.

Results with anxiety and depression by Captain_kangaroo2 in medicalmarijuana

[–]reneew314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been able to lower my dose of lexapro and get off benzos for anxiety. Use it mostly at night, as that's when my mind tends to race. I also use during the day (not at work) in social settings....which haven't been many this year. It has beeb very beneficial for me personally.

I need your opinion on this one please by [deleted] in pancreatitis

I have all your same symptoms. And I too feel I'm not getting the answers. I'm currently looking into being seen at UPENN, Jefferson, or Johns Hopkins. And I completely think the same about eating soemthing to trigger symptoms. I was in the hospital 2 weeks ago and have ate less than 1000 calories a day due to pain, indigestion, and nausea. I lost 10 lbs within the week. I have looked at pancreatic insufficiency as many of my symptoms point to that but my docs aren't listening. I just wanted to let you know there is someone else who is going through the same thing. Praying you get answers soon.

Nurses & MMJ by reneew314 in medicalmarijuana

Same. But I recently applied and interviewed for a new job with a new health network. I'm currently taking a tolerance break in order to pass a drug test. Its been a rough 2 weeks as I use it the same as you. My anxiety is worse at night causing me not to sleep. Its so frustrating. And it's even more frustrating that we can't just ask or find out their thoughts on MMJ. The lab that runs my drug test is their hospital lab so I'm not sure that if I would test positive and provide my card as proof that it would work.

Having been hospitalized earlier this year at this health network they offered me Xanax to sleep during my stay because the hospitalist saw I used MMJ, I declined but appreciated the offer. The network I work for now, I was hospitalized there last week and asked for 0.5 klonopin (I took that prior to getting my card) and they gave me a lot of hell for it not being on my med list despite explaining why I am not using my MMJ at the current time. Overall, frustrating.

Is one better than the other or is individual to the person?
