Is Managing Crohn‘s Disease With Marijuana An Effective Approach?
i just started taking humira for crohn disease but am very concerned about the side effects and it says it can also give you cancer and tb- do you think the benefits actually outweigh negatives especially considering humira is not a cure but only may help with periods of remission ? i,ve actually have had crohns for over 30 years without realizing it because i never had health insurance. the only doctor i saw at that time said my fistula was an abscess and just take sitz baths but my stomach never feels good and the only thing that ever made me feel better was smoking marijuana, its the only thing that gives an appetite , takes away gas and stops the bloated feeling after eating so i am i better off just doing what i have been doing all these years ?
