Why? Why are you being pessimistic? Maybe weed is the cure for my insomnia. Ems knows sleep.
Then talk to your doctor about it which is where all your questions should be directed.
When you call about your results today, perhaps you want to also make an appointment to discuss this issue. Asking forum members about whether medical weed will work for you is totally inappropriate and needs to cease immediately.

He would never approve. Remember the Ambien and how hesitant he was? Do I just go to the dr at cannibus club? My friend smokes everyday, but I know he won't just give me some.
Then it isn't an option for you. End of discussion.

Unless I go through other sources. I will consider it.

I also realize that I have tension and anxiety. I didn't want to accept it. But it's a problem. I haven't slept a wink but I have my mask on as we speak.

Why is it inappropriate and why does it need to cease? There is nothing illegal about using it for medical reasons where E lives. If you personally would never use it then you should probably just say nothing more than you wouldn't do it. It's a legitimate subject matter and anyone who says he will be on heroin or coke next is an idiot!

What about it? You could probably find 10,000 refs online re MJ and sleep, and all will have their own outlook. You need to find out for yourself what works for YOU and never mind all the other people out there or here.

I'd like to offer my sincere apology to 49er for my reply a few posts up. I did not take the context of the post I replied to correctly.

On the plus side, you will pass out in the next 24, so do leave your cpap on. Unless you have certain types of brain damage, your brain will shut you down. I think you need to just stay off the computer for a couple of weeks since clearly it causes you more anxiety.

That's the problem right there - your attitude. You've made up your mind without putting in the time and effort to get used to it. That's what everyone else here has done and, you know what? It's worth it!

Try another attitude. Like - I'm going to DO THIS, no matter how long it takes or how frustrated I get. I'm just going to keep doing it. Every time I lie down, I'm going to put on the mask and turn on the machine.

And keep checking with the doctor's office so you can get a DME to set you up with a permanent machine and help you find a mask that works best for you.

Hah ! You noticed that too, huh ? Best darned soap opera on the web, IMO. I'm just waiting for the "Help ! I can't open my juicebox " episode. Should be vastly entertaining !
