Oh dear, I'm sorry. Please don't take this as a: "I have a magical cure despite not knowing anything about your medical history" as I hate that crap. I'll just say a close friend of mine was able to reduce her overall inflammation through a very low carb diet. I know that's not helpful for everyone, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

Redditors can’t admit he squandered 2 years of congressional majorities. He didn’t once put pressure on Manchin and Sinema when there was still time to get things done.

Applying capitalistic fundamentals to the lawyering was a mistake. People have the right to fair legal representation regardless of income.

Im fairly convinced they knew this would happen and that’s part of the reason why it was illegal for so long.

ahh tbh im from a country with universal healthcare so theres not really any of that. More patients just means more work for our doctors so they aren't looking to increase the amount.

It's more that the full-body inflammation peaks in the morning and I'm a later diagnosis, for a few reasons. Disclaimer that I haven't talked this part over with a doc yet. R/rheumatoid has more and better resources, if that's what she has.
What I'm assuming is happening is that as my stomach works through what I ate the night before, and then when the inflammation sets in in the early morning, it combines with my stomach acid to irritate the lining enough that I need to get rid of some of it. I always throw up a little bit, once or twice, and then immediately feel better. Once my stomach has settled enough to eat, I'm basically fine -- I just have a whiny bitch of a stomach, so it takes a while.

I rather eat it via brownies/cookie etc. I hate smoking it.

I just said I’m not Republican or Democrat. I’m speaking about the tactics that politicians use to do business. I also never said I don’t vote. Stop putting words in my mouth and making the assumption that I’m some sort of Republican that you have to talk down off the ledge. Jesus.

Redditors will be enlightened rational atheists about everything in politics and then when you ask them why laws are different for dogs and cows it's pure feelings. There's no scientific basis for the belief that dogs are more conscious, more sentient, more intelligent, and more capable of emotion than cows. And yet the hypocrisy in the laws bothers almost nobody

Completely agree with this. I feel so badly for others with chronic pain who can’t get access to cannabis because of how much it has helped me.

Fuck the both sides are the same bullshit.
Do you have someone in your life that you care about who is a woman? Lgbtq? A POC? Maybe you have a kid or niece or nephew you don’t want working in a deregulated factory at the age of 14? Maybe you have family who has been negatively effected by business deregulations leading health issues? Has your community or a community of one of your loved ones been damaged because of a school shooting? Maybe you know an immigrant family that’s been torn apart? Are you or someone you care about a veteran? Do you want access to legal marijuana? A higher minimum wage? Higher taxes on the ultra rich?
If any of these things apply to you, remember republicans are consistently voting against you and your loved ones and they WANT to push the message that Democrats are just as bad as them so you don’t vote, your only real power as a citizen, so you get crushed and fucked by the system. Then you start spreading the “both sides are equally as bad” message because you feel hopeless and helpless.

I live in a state where it’s fully legal (WA) & my former doctor prescribed me specific strains of cannabis when I was having liver issues. It helped my liver heal itself, too. So at least in states where it’s legal, doctors use it as just one more thing they can use to help patients.

I have chronic pain due to systemic lupus & rheumatoid arthritis. Opiates make me severely nauseous so I used tons of NSAIDs which slowly ate away at my stomach lining. So then I was just in pain all the time.
When I moved to WA state where cannabis is legal, I finally got to experience a life without constant pain. Pain management with CBD, CBG, & THC has been positively life changing for me. From migraines to joint pain to even kidney stones, I can now live life without being in constant, horrible pain & it is genuinely so freeing.

Minimising the degree to which our mental health is impacted by the systems of oppression that structure out society is not wholesome, and invalidating someone else’s struggles when you know nothing of their life is like, Bad Mental Health Practice 101. You’re simply trotting out self-reliance/individualist rhetoric dressed up as mental health advice.

Reply to World Community Grid uses volunteer's computers to identify 26 new genes linked to lung cancer by makeasnek
Mapping Cancer Markers is a sub project of World Community Grid,a scientific research initiative from the Krembil Institute which uses the computers of volunteers to better understand and eventually develop treatments for lung and other types of cancer. Anybody with a computer can help them process data, no need to have a biochem or computer science degree.
