Woohoo! Controversy! This post is all about marijuana and scleroderma. It's going to be a long post. I've come to learn a lot of scleroderma patients are interested in learning more and possibly trying it to treat symptoms but can't find any information. They usually don't know much about it period so I'll briefly cover some common fears as well. I've also learned some doctors are fine with it and others are dead against it. I hope they see this and change their minds.
Disclaimer! These are my experiences with my health issues. Marijuana isn't always a good thing with certain meds or illnesses. Be sure to check about medication problems etc. A quick example. If I smoke marijuana while on 2 or more painkillers I shut down. I get very slow both mentally and physically. I don't have heart, lung or kidney involvement. I don't know how it might react with your illness or meds. Like anything medical. Do your homework.
