NSAID Alternative
Honestly ... it’s suffer with chronic pain and 8 use CBD and medicinal marijuana in vape form.. I personally think it’s better then the tramadol, codeine and oxy I used to take two years ago and stopped because it was messing me up. Speak to your gp but mine was supportive of it just not to smoke weed due to munchies and of course that wouldn’t be good after gastric surgery lol

Trouble drinking
Thanks so much, just currently I’m not hungry or thirsty I look at stuff to drink and I’m like puke.. I’m basically forcing myself and I even think of my fav fav meal and I’m like yuck. So weird been a chef and wanting nothing to drink let alone eat . I don’t mean I can’t stomach the taste of water I’ve always been a water drinker , basically I don’t want to drink anything...

Trouble drinking
Ironically it’s changed now and I don’t feel like anything at all. I just feel weak and want to sleep all the time. I only had procedure on tue this week but I’m inpatient and hate feel weak and nothing I look at seems appetising to me.. any ideas people because I am sure I’m heading to dehydration soon. Everything tastes shitty.
