I know that no one on here can help me, but I just need to vent as I’m very frustrated and you’re the only ones who will understand.
I suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage 6 weeks ago when an aneurysm ruptured. I had endovascular surgery to insert coils into the aneurysm which was successful and have recovered really well, with no issues. I feel really well now, just as I did before the surgery thankfully.
I have been on MJ since June 2024 and lost 6 stone, but obviously stopped taking it when in hospital. Now I feel recovered, the food noise is back and I’m struggling to stop myself overeating. When in hospital I was encouraged to eat well as part of the recovery and then when home I struggled to restrict myself as I was concentrating on getting well again. Now I’m back in that awful place of overeating and I can tell it’s getting out of hand. I’ve put on 10lbs already since leaving hospital.
I contacted the pharmacy I order from and they will prescribe to me again, they confirmed there is no reason for me not to take it again but suggested I speak to my neurology team for advice on when it would be safe for me to restart. Well I’ve spoken to 2 members of the team and they don’t have a clue and don’t know what to suggest. I have a follow up appointment 3 months after my surgery and they’ve suggested I ask then, but that’s at least 6 weeks away and I know they’re not going to have any definitive answer at that time either.
It’s just so frustrating, I really want to restart it but don’t seem to be able to get an answer when it will be safe. So do I return to obesity and give up on MJ for good or take a risk and restart it at some point. I’m lost as to who can give me advice on this.
It’s so disappointing when it’s been so successful for me.
