In their words
- Condition: ME/CFS
CFS is caused by accumulation and stagnation of lymph causing issues with brain stem and spinal column
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I feel a positive progression and I believe cannabis is helping me.
In context ↗ - Began after: nothing they could name
I am pretty positive (in my case at least definitely) CFS is caused by accumulation and stagnation of lymph
Summary
A Reddit user who had experienced specific symptoms for about three years believed stagnant lymph was the cause and said marijuana gave a couple of hours of relief before it built up again. They reported being awake for two whole days and that non-drowsy allergy medicine and cough syrup failed to knock them out. In December 2020 they reported a positive progression and believed cannabis was helping.
