Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I do not believe that marijuana will help in your situation. You need to get treatment for all your underlying conditions and be consistent and adherent to your medication i.e. take your medications regularly. Marijuana is not the answer. Feel free to discuss this with your physician, however, if you feel like you are at the end of your ropes.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
