And Roderick, I agree, the sativa variety works better for helping distract the pain.

Hi people - I am new to the forum, does anyone take Cannabis alongside using Humira or simillar?

Thanks
Ken

I don't think I would have lasted as long as I did on Simponi if I didn't. I had lots of side effects that were none too pleasant. I've started Remicade now and not planning to quit taking MM any time soon. It has helped more than any drug I've tried, and trust me, I have be prescribed more pills than I care to remember over the last 30 years.

Gotta try growing when I get out!

It does help greatly and has very little side effects

anyone find that marijuana actually makes them flare up real bad?

Nope.

just another hurdle for medical marijuana:

will we now have to cross the border for this medication as well?

heh heh heh....hippie

It has become my last and only option.. I have talked to dr.s about it ( what a joke ), so here is a list of side effects, I thought would lighten a mood when the pain is killing.
the munchies , red eyes, the urge to watch cartoons , forgetting what you were doing ( more than likely you were dwelling on the pain ), the giggles ( oh the horror !), patience ( that is definitely a bad side effect ), paranoia ( tho cartoons and video games clear that up fast ) tho if I have a friend over, or my mom ( she's a talker ) No paranoia ... probably because I am concentrating hard to follow their conversations. No one knows what I am trying except my bff, who gave it to me a year ago, and I just tried it yesterday out of frustration and desperation. So is it worth the risk ? at this point yes.
