I've recently been seeing a physical therapist that is very hands on with healing. He massages my muscles and tendons back into place slowly (because I have Ehlers-Danlos) instead of like a chiropractor who would probably dislocate me. I feel like a million bucks until like after an hour when my body goes back to normal

Also medical marijuana is the only thing that helps my nausea from gasteroparesis

Ketamine saves my ass. I can't function without it.

Weed for sure. It used to be just when I was in a flare, about 1-2 times a month. But now that I’m on chemotherapy it’s a daily routine lol

Oh and also floatation therapy! The only time I’m ever pain free in my life. My mind quiets too.

Weed definitely. It's a daily routine for me to avoid flashbacks. Also, instead of meditation (which I absolutely hate), I move around and stretch. Oh! And massage. Helps so much 😭

Weed 1000%. Covers multiple disorders I have depending on what I use and also helps my chronic illnesses. I am incredibly treatment resistant with psychiatric meds and have huge side effects from everything. I was losing all hope until my boyfriend got me a pen and a week later I realized one of my biggest issues literally stopped. A lot of research later and Im happy I finally found something.

Sleep! I am allergic to weed and PT is exhausting!

I tried weed before, worst thing I've ever done. It was disgusting and I got weirdly itchy. So now instead I'll just stretch or get a massage to help with joint and muscle pain
