All Things Chronic 
Damn, I wish it worked better for me!
Sadly, it only helps with the rage and frustration I feel about having chronic pain, and less for the pain itself.

Perhaps you expect too much of it. I’ve always said that cannabis helped to distract me from the pain, not really as a pain reliever. But when you’re not always focused on the pain, it’s easier to relax all those tense muscles, easier to breathe, easier to sleep, easier to release anxiety and frustration. So in the end, it can help with the pain, just not directly like pain meds. You have to work with it, but you also have to let it work. 🙂

With my broken ribs, bud is out of the question because it makes me cough. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t.
I don’t have the money to buy fancy extracts. Plus. I figure it will be an excellent experiment to see how things go without smoking for weeks… Maybe months?. (it’s been years)
I’ve been ready and hoping for some change in my life, but I find the saying so true: Beware what you ask for, for you might get it.
I’m a stupid woman, getting stupider all the time. Whacking my head didn’t help – my bike helmet is impressively cracked in multiple places. I wonder if I haven’t already exceeded my expiration date because everything smells so rotten. Starting to wish I hadn’t worn my helmet – what, exactly, did I hope to save?

I know what you mean. As much as I fear sleep apnea, why not just embrace it? Maybe it will put me out of my misery.
So, are you really smelling rotten things, phantom smells, or is that just a figure of speech?

I don’t know anymore what’s perception and what’s real – for each person, is the difference even significant?
My whole being is repulsed with disgust at much of what happens out there, but a physical olfactory sensation? No.

I’ll bet if disgust had a smell, it would smell like rotten eggs. 🙂
