Chronic Illness on Yik Yak | I really want to stop smoking weed because it’s causing fluid in my ears & sinuses, but it’s the only thing that helps my pain. It doesn’t even take it away, just puts some distance btwn it & me so I can do things. Edibles & tinctures don’t hit the same.

Have you tried tinctures? I have an unflavored one that I can add to drinks. It has helped my pain so much without the side effects that smoking gives me (heartburn, worsening my asthma). I don’t know why tinctures work for me when edibles don’t do shit. But I don’t question it, as long as it works for my pain

have you tried dabs/concentrates?

Do you do straight weed or CBD? CBD tends to have less side effects but many of the same benefits.

I’d been dealing with it for a year before I realized what was going on. And when I quit for two weeks it started to improve 😭 but I ended up having to go back when I had a flare. It’s so frustrating. I also just don’t want to have to get high to be comfortable in my body. It sucks.

I also use it for panic disorder and edibles don’t hit instantly the way smoking does so idk what my alternatives are aside from like, figuring out how to treat the sinus symptoms as they come

I use it for migraines, my back injury and fibro pain, as well as anxiety. The thing that actually made me break my streak was a panic episode. Never had a real panic attack 🙏🏼 but my chest was tight and I got shaky. Came out of nowhere and smoking soothed it instantly.

As I said, they don’t work the same for me. I’ve tried multiple brands at higher and higher doses. It doesn’t help.

Also I don’t feel as high with them, but I also used to smoke ALOT so my tolerance is high.

Oo I missed that part and just read edibles. Lol. That sucks. Have you tried Flonase? One of my ears for some reason don’t drain after migraines and that helped clear out my ear. It is kinda expensive tho
