What happened after the Diagnosis ?
No choice From my 4th i did 'ruminate or re-chew my food. Sometimes intestinal contents came into the stomach. Specialists could not find anything, eventually suspected, it was caused by stress caused in our house. This syndrome has led to accelerated degradation of my teeth, damage to all spaces between the teeth. On my 18th observed by a famous dentist. Because I've worked 4,5 years in the medical army field between 16 different doctors, Worked and studied in the examining rooms of the doctors, in my breaks. Also i talked with some about gastric stress syndrome, anxiety or drinking people. Some doubted my stories. Untill my mother started calling to my medical post at the army base i worked. She talked to my segreants, my army-boss doctors and colleagues, with complaint or anger rages about me. It was over quickly. Since that time, i'm better. I still have the disorder, but i'm able to manage it, i do have to eat good, not to fat or spiced food. With daily pill use it goes wrong in 2-3 days.
2004 to 2009 i did set a pain frame. To know my body and feelings again. i started a pain diary for explanation. with day, hours for Gp or doctor. Different colors for all pain or feelings.
2005 Conversations with municipality reintegration/ own business . Decided finally get to refrain because of hands / back.
2005 I am considering all short and long-term treatments and options, incl. stem cell, surgery and / or medication. Whether or not experimental. Because my stress-related gastric disease ( 1 ) no pills and painkillers. So i've No choice. An dutch orthopedic surgeon, Jan van Gijn, wrote his retirement article after 25 years operating incl. on artifical joints; " doing nothing is also doing something ". He suggested the patients quality of life was mostly not improved.
2006 conversation city counselors And, We got our first PC . 2nd hand.
2008 conversation city counselors ; We bought our first Vista laptop ; sites built.
2009 On Rheumatism Patients Association website last year closed due financial cuttings i saw an articel on Bedrocans medical cannabis.
October 2009 5 years after diagnosis. I ask the doctor or can be. Torso new photos taken She says it makes no sense. I joke I still want to see if there is something better. But my aim was to assess, the progress of burden back on the past year and so an estimate for the future.
2009 The website Rheumatism Patients Association stopped.
2010 Labour rejected, 100 % for next ten years. " Annual re-testing " official ' discouraged '.
2010 I had to find a new gp. My old was against cannabis. I am against using synthetic drugs continously for myself. Because of my background I decide to investigate it, as "stupid anonymous independent Patient X". First i called all 15 pharmacist's in town asking questions. Half of pharmaceutical assistents told me to go to a coffeeshop,where cannabis is not " medical " justified. I did get 2 tips ( on 60 Gp's. ) from the pharmacist himself. In holland you don't have a system like America, it is been said, that 1/3 to 1/2 of dutch docters would support prescription of governments medical cannabis. In real it is 1 on 30. I found a doctor who did not was cannabis-negatively minded and did understand my "kickin a dead horse" situation. He wrote to me a few recipes, which were delivered through pharmacy in Zaandam in two days.
Quality is good. It is a pity that there is no corresponding type is used as the hash nepal or afghan with some deeper work. Note that government policy is 15 years old going on, and we know not sure if it works. In addition, they don't visit GPs active for promoting their products, where a pharmaceutical company does. After examining documents of the ministry office VWS / BMC, my health insurance policy was housed at insurer FBTO (Achmea) It is said that this medical cannabis has been presribed to 500-1000 patients, / 6700 recipes. Not much transperancy or clarity. Official information refer all interested to Bureau for Medicinal Cannabis Office of Ministry of Health. New doctor supported me, i have tried 4 different medical cannabis for 1,5 year. Support vanished as snow for the sun. Snow ?
2010 december snowstorm. i was at labor-reinspection with a doctor who didn't even looked at my files.; Result 100 % rejection / diaproved. No application-obligation, advized for next 10 years. Also i received a box of documents about Bedrocan from a coffee shop-owner who had seen my calls for all information. This showed med.can. is harvested from 6 up to15 months before.
2011 Search forofficial medical marijuana patients starts. First Netherlands, Europe and then global.
2011 april While doctors themselves have been around for decades discussions about term usage and treatments for osteoarthritis and articular wear, my new doctor try me, and said, I know about osteoarthritis ... I interrupt him, there is no wear established osteoarthritis. He says the same, I say no, we speak with osteoarthritis as the structure around the joint, and calcification of blood vessels changed. This doctor also put hormone injections in his practice. Something I'm seriously against.
2011 juli 1st Recipe medical cannabis. I ask permission for re-order by email, gp doesnt want to do that. 2 requests 1 by gp / doctor, 1 by myself, for reimbursement were rejected by health insurer; FBTO ( Achmea ) Also one request for financial support turned down by city-municipality. They knew of my med.cananbis, while I tried to ask for help without telling my medical details and blocking details in letters and copies. So i got no rights because i am on social benefits. ( medical record should be your medical confidential secret )

2011 october medical cannabis refunds studies on all 46 dutch insurers. Result; a black book with fault, old, poor or even wrong information provision. Some did not answer anonymous questions and wanted my registration number ( BSN ) Or said; i am not allowed to talk about it.
2012 After 1 year experimenting, death of my mother and a moving to another house, i temporarily i'm buying coffee shopproducts. I buy some hasj for my spine and some fresh cannabis. The risk on pollution is mine. Bedrocan is good enough, but not cheap. 30 gram costed me 260 while in coffeeshops i pay 150,- to 220,- up to maximaal 300,-euro. The same price as bedrocan. 2013 I don't know where i am, or might be going. Yes, to pieces. More on work ; " Beyond Repair "
