After Effects Of General Anaesthesia?
My partner will be going in for minor surgery in a few weeks and was offered the choice of local or general anaesthesia for the op - she opted for general. Slight predicament, we are trying to keep it quiet. My question is, is it difficult to hide the fact that you've just had a general anaesthetic?

Has anyone else been put to sleep for their biopsy? Saw gyno for first time and whilst they said some fusing was present she couldn't say LS for sure as the steroids would be masking all other conditions . She's referred me for urgent biopsy under general so she can do smear too ( last doc who tried couldn't do it ) should I be worried or is this quite normal.

View 21 RepliesCannabis Addiction :: Insomnia After Quitting (non-heavy Smoker)
For the past 3-4 months, I have smoked pot ONCE (depending on mood 1-3 joints) every night to help me go to sleep faster. I've never had insomnia problems or addiction problems before these few months (smoked 2-3 times a week for 6 months prior; and once or twice a month for 5 years before that). Now I find it extremely difficult to go to sleep. My body feels warm everywhere and even if I manage to fall asleep eventually, I never managed to fall into deep sleep and normally wake up within 4 hours feeling unrested. Any advice or similar experiences?
View 1 RepliesErectile Dysfunction In 20s - Cannabis Smoker With Anal Itching And Constipation
I am a 22 year male, 10 stone 2 pounds, 5 ft 8 inch, smoker (around 5 a day) and recreational cannabis smoker (daily). I have no known diseases, illnesses or family history of such (apart from my mother, who has depression).
I have a variety of symptoms that could either be related or not, these are:
-Constipation. Been noticeable for the past few months, it is not constant, but is regular. No pain is felt on passing, but blood is occasionally found when wiping. I am a student, so my diet is not the best it could be, yet has been consistent for the past two years.
-Anal itching. An issue that has come and gone my entire life, yet have been too embarrassed to discuss it. Often use E45 or Sudocrem to relieve this, which helps, but is not a solution.
-Erectile Dysfunction. Gradually been getting worse over the past year. Sometimes wake up with an erection, yet do not get any throughout the day. No longer feel the urge to masturbate, cannot get an erection when intimate with my partner. Almost impossible to get an erection without constant touching. Little anxiety or pressure felt.
-Rare feelings of depression. This is not constant, and can happen out of nowhere. Feelings of loneliness and extreme lack of motivation to do anything. Occurs about two times a month. Happened for around two years.
-Fluctuating appetite. Can go days without feeling hungry, where I have to force myself to eat. Then days where I feel constantly hungry. Happened for at least four years.

View 2 RepliesCannabis :: Anxiety With Marijuana Use
I have been on a rollercoaster ride for months now trying to figure out this anxiety i've been dealing with. So i'm going to share the whole thing. For years i've been a constant drug user started with intense drinking to mdma and LSD every weekend then to uppers (Adderall and Dex) which was a daily bases for almost a year then pain pills to the point where i couldn't take them they made me unhappy and agro. Around the end of my get F***ed up days i was taking mad amounts of E and mushrooms which when it came to frying i was A OK on never had a bad time till one day. At the time i thought i was having a bad trip but now i think it was an anxiety attack. After that night when i tried to fry even if i was happy to and totally down i would have the worst panic attack so i quit taking psychedelics then stopped MDMA cause i always had an attack every time i used anything besides marijuana and occasional drinking and felt just fine (btw i was and still am a constant weed smoker) in november i went to portland and had a 3 day anxiety attack very random i went to the doctors when i got back he said besides some slight thyroid imbalance be has no idea why im anxious. I have been taking Paxil and Klonopin since November and at first it helped i felt i had a bit more control then it got worse again i've been dealing with fainting and awful morning anxiety and my doc keeps upping the dose but i'm still waking up panicked and idk why. Ppl have brought this up to me but i doubt a lot of bad things they say about marijuana but i'm starting to wonder. Could marijuana interfere with my medication prevent me from feeling better or even feed my anxiety??
View 3 RepliesCannabis :: Having Marijuana With Stroke
My spouse was (is) an alcoholic who quit drinking after 12 years but continued smoking pot, three times a day, everyday for now going on 40 years. He had a stroke one year ago, a growth on his thyroid which has expanded into his chest cavity. The stroke caused minor cognitive impairment, forgetfulness, inability to recall numbers, words and names. Perhaps anger management issues too.
The expanded portion of the growth measures 5 X 7 X 8 cm, long, wide and front to back. Dental infections also flair up regularly. Dental Hygiene is an issue. Surgery is eminent for the growths. With the news of the needed surgery, the regular, daily pot smoking has started up again. He stops smoking for weeks at a time, proof, he believes, that he is not addicted.
There have been other health issues, blood clots in lungs, chronic cough/ throat clearing, acid reflux, shortness of breath, overweight, high carb and high fat diet.
As I list these issues, I am not sure what the question is except, am I unreasonable to think this person could turn their health around if they stop smoking weed and eat healthier? It is hard to watch this behavior.
Cannabis :: Bad High With Marijuana - First Time
I'm 21 and last night I smoked weed with my partner and got high for the first time. I smoked many times before but I did not do it correctly according to my friends. So after the first few initial puffs I felt pressure on my head. Then everything slowed down. It got to the point where I wasn't able to control my body and mind and then I started to panic and have anxiety. I felt as though I was God incarnate, like I could do anything (I can recollect that I jumped down a fire escape and landed on my back. My spine and right shoulder still hurts so i'll be going to the ER soon). It's like I had terrible Deja vu. Like I could see the past present and future. But as I said, I started to freak out and become paranoid. Reality and time itself warped to the point that I couldn't focus. All I remember is that I ended up home in bed and not at my partner's house. Can anyone tell me if this is normal when you smoke weed??? Is this what a high feels like and does to you cause if so I see the reason why it's illegal. Hell I still even feel the effects from it....

View 3 RepliesCannabis :: Anxiety Attacks After Marijuana
This year, I started to smoke marijuana. I've smoked it a few times until three days ago. I've smoked too much of it and got a horrible panic attack. I've been sitting on the floor more than two hours thinking I'm going to die. The whole world was rotating and twirling around me and my heart was beating so fast that I thought I have a heart attack. I took a deep breath and told myself everything's gonna be alright. My friend told me: Stay calm, it's just a temporary effect of a drug. It's not dying.
Ok, I've survived. But on the next day, I've got anxiety attack three times. I'm 18 and I've never had any anxiety in my life. But marijuana teached me. Last three days, I've had 7 anxiety attacks. My anxiety attack consists of headache and feeling powerless and crazy.
I want to know just one thing. Are those anxiety attacks going to stop? Are they here because of THC still being in my body? Or am I going to experience them for the rest of my life?

View 2 RepliesCannabis / Weed / Marijuana / Pot Really Addictive?
I'v smoked pot on and off for about 40 yrs, I've never had a pot withdrawal that I can ever remember or known anyone who has. but I do have hard times sleeping, eating etc. normally..
other than the occasional paranoia from "smoking too much" it has helped my appetite, stress levels etc. My cognitive skills are still the same as they've always been when I don't smoke.
I have a bunch of problems the pot helps to mask. If you want a clear mind, Then Don't Smoke it! or quit! other than that I smell a lot of possible psychological or physical problems that have been suddenly realized by people quitting? how can you have a withdrawal from a non-addictive substance?

I started smoking marijuana about 3 months ago but I barely smoked in the beginning. it was like once a week, usually even less than that. But, recently, over the past week or so I started smoking a lot more. A few times a day, basically every day, skipping a few here and there. I feel like I'm not really myself anymore. I'm very irritable but I don't feel like I care about anything anymore? I don't know if I'm just being paranoid and freaking myself out or if this is actually something. If this is something that happens to most people, how long does it last?
