So, the last two days I have taken in an extra 1800 calories a day. Got on the scale earlier today and.. I LOST 2 lbs in the last 24 hours! You have got to be F**king kidding me!!!! How the hell can I ingest an extra 3600 calories and lose 2 lbs?!
Cannot be explained by diarrhea, as I have not had that.
I tried getting off the scale and getting back on several times. Scale is properly zeroed and always went back to zero. Nothing impeding the scale. Basically the same weight of clothing (or even heavier) than what I was wearing yesterday.
Going to try basically liquifying my food. Maybe sticking with soups will let me increase how much I consume. I also made a tea of ginger, cinnamon and molasses each of which supposedly increase appetite or calm your stomach. I also drank some diluted alcohol, what I had on hand. So far, not feeling much difference.
I seriously need to find some weed. But not from anyone in my neighborhood. I have no urge to become "buddies" with any of the people who would be likely to be casing my house or knocking on my door. There are one or two people I would trust over here now but I'm still really cautious. It's not a good situation to be the only white boy in the neighborhood. My own fault. Giving people more credit than they often deserve once again. Story of my life.
Here's good news! After writing the above paragraph, I looked up the NM Medical Cannabis Program again. They've added my condition to the list! I can be licensed to both possess and grow my own supply! Yay! I really do not need the maximum supply allowed by any means. I'm a serious lightweight. And studies in other countries have shown medical benefits with light use just before bed only every 3-4 days, which is actually the optimal dosage. Increased use does not show any increased benefit.
I find the risks of traditional treatment for ulcerative colitis to be unacceptable. The risks include liver damage, heart damage, neurological damage, vascular damage and drastically increased risk of infection. In fact, the entire goal of traditional treatment focus almost entirely on suppressing the entire immune system. Considering the fact that I have a TB positive skin test, there is an extremely high risk of developing active TB. In 20 years as a nurse, I have also encountered many other opportunistic diseases for which I have not been tested but could easily cause problems should my immune system be suppressed too much.
My past comes back to haunt me. Oh, well.
Not to mention the cost difference.
I won't be able to apply to the program until January. It will cost some money to get initially certified by a cannabis friendly doctor. I'm just happy the condition has been added to the list of covered conditions. Finally!
