Lest people think that the medically prescribed cannabis is solving all of Marty's problems, I am sorry to inform you that it is not the case. The baked goods and tincture help his nausea and cramping on "good"days. Once he is having a not so good to terrible day, the cannabis products have no positive impact.
If we had any notion of what sets off his episodes, or what sort of pattern of timing was involved, we could at least take some preventative measures. The frustration of all this is that we have no clue about cause, timing, or patterns. Planning for life is rather impossible. Marty might feel relatively well for days then suddenly be too sick to get out of bed.
We had a run of functional days in the past weeks, then the hammer of nausea, vomiting, cramping hit again. Every episode of this sort depletes him further, and costs him calories, hydration, sleep and stamina. Astonishingly, he continues with some small measure of optimism.
We go day by day, hoping to sleep, trusting he can work, finding serenity in the most surprisingly small details.
