I had been suffering from bone pain for many years now and I was just happy to at least put a solution in most part of my pain issues by medicating my hyperparathyroidism which lead to my Leontiasis condition. It is quite hard to be in this situation because the stiffness and the pain plus the disfigurement especially in my mouth had affected my life in a very bad way.
What I just need now is a medicine that will alleviate my pains without damaging my gastrointestinal tract because before, I was using NSAIDs and it is not really a good idea to use it frequently because it creates ulcerations in the stomach and intestines. It is just good for a short term use but not as a maintenance drug. I have known friends that actually died from it.
Medical marijuana although I haven't had any experience from using it can also help me a lot because it is plant-based and natural. They claim that it also helps improve appetite so it hits two birds with one stone in my condition because I suffer from appetite issues and pain issues.
But my country is very conservative and have a negative stigma for marijuana. I just hope it would change in the future if not from my short lifetime.
