About Me
I am a Head Start teacher. I have Crohn's Disease. On Sept 26th, 2008 I had exploratory laparotomy with an ileocoletomy removal of abcess and ilecolic resection. They removed 16 inches of infected intestine and a small section of the colon. I did not have to have an ostomy bag!!! Thank Heavens!

Hi Teach, I'm writing this here 'cuz when I tried to send you a message it wouldn't work. Go fig. The MM works great for me when I use it in CBD oil capsules. I get them from a guy/gal in Ontario -Sunny. When I don't have caps I smoke or vaporize. It works, but I can't stand being high so I can't use it as often. Maybe once every seven to ten days. Those who smoke more have better and longer lasting results. Again, the CBD caps are the way to go for me. If you want more info about Sunny or where to find a MM friendly doc in your are, please send me a message and I'll reply. Hopefully this will work.
