Primary doctor suggested that I try marijuana instead of more opiates. I need to ask my pain doctor first a I signed a paper saying that I would only get pain meds from him.

I know how you feel I go through it everyday
you know that phrase? “Out of spoons”
Or maybe you’ve heard people call themselves “spoonies”?
(It’s not the same as being “spoony,” an adjective which means “silly.”)
*Spoonie* is a noun, and folks with chronic illness use it.
