alternative pain managementFrom: Tinker (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jan 24 12:22:41 2006
I want all endo patients to know that there are alternative therapies to manage pain. If you live in California and ten other states you have legal (according to state law) access to cannabis. According to Americans for Safe Access, medical cannabis use has been endorsed by the American Academy of Family Physicians,the American Public Health Association, and the American Nurses Association. Cannabis provides relief from nausea and pain, symptoms many endo sufferers present. Chronic pain does not have to be managed by pharmaceutical narcotics with side effects that are similar to the symptoms of endometriosis. Cannabis has no comparable side effects and acts as an analgelsic and anti-inflamatory. Please got to http://www.safeaccessnow.org for more information on medical cannabis. And on another note....remember when you go to a doctor you have choices and you are in charge. It's your body and you don't have to agree to hormonal therapies which simulate menopause. Each case is different and we don't all need to be on hormone therapy. Certainly, Western medicine and it's advances are helpful but don't forget endometriosis has been around for centuries and some natural remedies can alleviate our symptoms.
