Marijuana use
CEDAR FALLS -- Allen Helmers
was the focus of a front-page article concerning his use of marijuana for medical purposes
only. I, too, suffer from Fibromyalgia Syndrome of which there is no cure or
treatment found. I can no longer work, and many activities are impossible because of
this ailment. I was a business owner and had steady employment until this took over
my life. My life no long belongs to me.
Fibromyalgia (FMS) controls me with overall
constant pain, total exhaustion and fatigue. I never get a rested night's
sleep. No rested sleep results in many other side effects including mental
confusion. I must be careful not to overdue any activity or I suffer the
consequences greatly. I have tried all the popular medications prescribed from
several different specialists with no avail. Not only do the medications I have
tried not work, but they also can have some severe side effects which just compound
already a bad situation to the impossible.
FMS is an invisible disease. I look
healthy. No one sees my suffering which affects my muscle, ligaments and
tendons. But, taking into account the benefits that are attained by using marijuana
for medical reasons, I feel that this should be prescribed by physicians to alleviate the
discomfort and pain caused by many diseases.
I fully understand marijuana for recreational
use being illegal. I'm against alcohol for the same reason. But to let people
suffer is inhumane. Those who are of the same opinion and want to help further the
cause and have marijuana approved as a legal drug to be used for medical purposes only,
should contact the statewide group of Iowans for Medical Marijuana. A rally will be
held in Des Moines on Oct. 6 for the medical marijuana user's plight. Their address
is P.O. Box 4091, Des Moines, Iowa 50333; Attn: Carl Olsen.
