I had a high velocity snowboard accident in 2004, and I broke my leg and my ankle. None of the docs caught the ankle break for six months (even though I complained of pain after I was "healed"). Ultimately, they had to remove the bone, and now I have a form of nerve damage called RSD, or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. To over-simplify, it has felt like my ankle has been broken since my accident. Additionally, the RSD has spread throughout my body, and I have severe sensitivity to pain.A few weeks after my accident I had blood clots in both lungs, and when they went through my heart it almost killed me. This entire experience has changed everything about who I am. I have a lot more compassion for people who suffer. I am also in way more control of my healthcare instead of leaving it up to some person who has no vested interest in my life. I am no longer on any pharmaceutical medications, and I feel better than since before my accident. Medical marijuana has successfully treated me by addressing my pain, swelling, and skin coloration. All the while, not destroying my ability to function. I am also not so dependent on the healthcare system. Simply being out of that system has made me feel healthier.I did the right thing. I got off opiates. I got off the drug that traps and destroys so many people everyday, and made me lose everything I worked so hard for. I am not a criminal. I don't rob people. I don't hurt people. In fact, I help people when I can. What is it that I have done that makes me deserve the label of criminal?This channel is for other patients and people who are interested in learning more about the fight to pursue happiness and better healthcare.
