Need reassurance
I had my first dose of THC on Thursday. I did not feel too bad the following day but my discomfort has gotten progressivly worse. I am really having alot of pain in my legs, hands and arms. It even seems like my incision area hurts. Is painful to walk. It sure is beyond "flu-like symptoms"! Guess I am seeking reassurance that this too shall pass. But I worry that it is cumulative and will be more exaggerated with future treatments. Boy,this is not for sissies!!!
On a positive note, I did get out for a wig fitting before this got too bad..so I am set to go on that front....
