my step-grandma has Lupus

Does anyone know if smoking marijuana would help with the cancer called Lupus? because my step-grandma who i live with has this and some other dieses and its pretty bad. she always complains of hurting and being in pain sure she has lots of painkillers but i had the chance to look at them and they are the weakest ones a doctor can prescribe! so anyways do any of you think i should bring up the subject of marijuana to her? or not? any info would be sweet!

after looking a little better on google it all points to a go-ahead for the marijuana, but i dont know to bring it up because i know her docter isn't the kind that would prescribe her medical MJ and the only other way is threw me and thats going to be a touchy subject but i guess its her decision not mine.

 

most older people i know wouldnt even dare speak the term "marijuana"... let alone actually smoke/eat it. its just a very different generation and a different time they grew up in. people beleived weed gave you breasts, made you rape women, and like.. killed you. i wouldnt even try to convince my grandmother to smoke weed medicinally because she wouldnt hear a word of it... plus you dont want her ratting you out to your parents or whatever.... but thats just my advice man

 

like i said before i live with my grandparents. and dudes shes 56 and my grandpa is 74 haha yea i know.... and my grandpa and my real grandma always used to smoke back in the day but my step-grandma ehh i dont think she ever touched it. either way im going to bring it up, at least i tried to help her feel better right? i might bring it up with my grandpa first since he wouldnt be as sceptical to talk to about it.

 

you are only trying to help, i think youre in the right here

 

I have the same type of Lupus and take Percs and take 80 Mg a day for the pain. I smoke weed for the depression part of it but have been smoking non stop since Summer of 1967.
The Herb will help her with the depression part but I would just put it in either tea or cookies for her.
Her pain med's are the most important part and moving around more will help keep her body in motion.
I hike over 5 Miles a day or ride my mountain bike. I would check and see if she is taking blood thinners since blood clots are our biggest danger of killing us.
If you want PM me for any other help OK?
I first became sick 5 years ago and was told I was on my way out. I am in better shape now then when I was in my 20's and lead a great and productive life.
Peace

 

Someone on another thread mentioned getting Lupus relief from marijuana.

About bringing it up, I would look for the straightest looking med.pot website. Then bring it up to your grandparents. They are probably more open than you think. Or at least less likely to freak.

 

My grandman has lupas, but i dont think its cancerous? idk for sure not bashing you or anything, but sheson this shit called 'prednisone' because lupas shuts down your immune system, and just recently she had an outbreak where her system completely shut off, and she started taking this herbal tea call limu plus, and shes on her feet, from being in a wheel chair for 2 years, she wasnt paralyzed, she was just so weak. Idk if its mind over matter, but look into that limu shit dude its kinda pricey i think. But dude if you dont say something, can you live with the fact you could have done something to help her, after she died, and you didnt? i knew i couldnt so i looked into that shit, and it made me feel really good about myself.

 

Lupus is a form of cancer and there are two types external and internal.
It is also not curable at this time. What is needed is Gene repair which so far is not something near to being found.
In the mean time all that we can treat is the various symptoms.
I think it's nice that you helped out your family.
Just know we have good days and bad days.
I have people look at me and say all the time-well you look good. LOL They don't see me on my bad days. I'm in bed sick.
Also, Know stress will bring us out of remission.
I treat my self with self Hypnosis-Meditation-Aromatherapy-Reiki-Lot's good herb-my med's and staying in shape by hiking at least 4 miles a day and eating organic foods.
Five years ago I met a really great Dr and healer and he told me it was a blessing since from that day- I have taken better care of myself and each day is very important to me since I have no idea if it is my last.
What I find humorous is at least I know what's trying to kill me each day. Most people don't know what is waiting for them.
It's all irrelevant anyway since many of my friends who died in 9/11 were all in great health.
So live each day as it is your last but even more important as if it is your first.
Also nothing ever really dies it just transforms into something new, If we are not afraid of death we are not afraid of life.
