A few short months ago I decided to start growing MJ for my personal health needs.. You see i have a brain tumour, it is slow growing but causes occasional seizures. I also have some anxiety issues and insomnia. In short i was not good. I planted white widow, a k47 , lowryder. Since I harvested and started medicating, my life has totally turned around. First thing I noticed was that i slept a full night for the first time in years. My anxiety was significantly reduced and I just felt healthier.
But the big shock was to come...you see as a hyperglycaemic type 2 diabetic who has been taking 80 units of insulin a day, I swear that I have only got my blood sugar levels to regular range readings maybe twice in my life. I used to vacilate between readings of 13 and 30. Well I read my bloods 5 times a day and have just completed three weeks in the normal range (4 to 9 ) with only two small forays into the low teens. Lets put this in context I have been treated by doctors for this for decades and in three weeks i feel amazing.
Some of the things that I did not expect
I did not get munchies I have realised that I eat emotionally i.e. when i am stressed...well now i am no longer stressed. so surprisingly I am losing weight which has helped my sleep apnoea.
Of the varieties I found them all helpful, but the white widow (ex Bonza) is my favourite. Cannabis has so far significantly improved my prognosis and if it can help me to keep my diabetes in check, it may well add as much as a decade to my life...
I will post some more when i start to get lab results back.
