Despite all my good intentions my pain levels are really bad right now. Not sure if it the heat or if my body is just reminding me that it doesn't have to use my stomach to make me miserable.

As such, I will be stuck inside today, if I attempt to get sunscreen between my shoulders I this state I might end up in A&E. Wish the cricket were starting today instead of tomorrow, that would be a perfect excuse to not move at all. Also, I have some "ripen at home" plums I bought three weeks ago, they would be perfect for the nets...

Obviously don't know your circumstances, but living with pain of any sort is just so demoralising! Have you tried the likes of Sapphire Medical Clinics etc for prescribed cannabis meds? I get prescribed actual weed but also a tincture of 20mg/ml THC and 20mg/ml CBD and the stuff is a god send for my wife's rheumatoid arthritis. It's something like 50 quid for the intial consultation, and then 50 quid every 3 months for a check up consultation. Tincture is 30ml for £100 and that lasts the whole month.

Unfortunately I am not really in a financial position to do that. Many years ago I complained to my GP that a lot of my problems could be helped by cannabis, and he completely agreed! It was before any usage was approved in the UK, and he is retired now.

Until cannabis is available on an NHS prescription, it will remain on my wishlist. Daft really, they could save a fortune on my other meds.

There are clinics that have special prices for people on benefits. r/ukmedicalcannabis was where I used to go for information before all the drama. I get a prescription for sciatica and its helped me no end.
