Η μαριχουάνα έδωσε στον πάσχοντα καρκίνου την πλάτη ζωής της
Τετάρτη, 20η Αυγούστου 2008 Συμμαχία καννάβεων Legalise | Ένα γίνοντα θύμα ιατρικό ιστορικό καρκίνου του ΜΑΣΤΟΥ πρόσφατα, ως πρώτο πρόσωπο στη Σκωτία για να οριστεί τις καννάβεις ως θεραπεία για το χρόνιο πόνο. Η προηγούμενη νοσοκόμα Jeanie Rae, 57 εθνικών υγειονομικών υπηρεσιών, έχει πάρει ένα καθαρισμένο απόσπασμα του αμφισβητούμενου φαρμάκου για να μεταχειριστεί τη να ψυχορραγήσει ζημία νεύρων στο σωστό σκέλος της που προκαλείται από μια λειτουργία και μια ακτινοθεραπεία για να κτυπήσει τον καρκίνο της. Ο πόνος την άφησε ουσιαστικά φυλακισμένη στο σπίτι της σε Balfron, Stirlingshire, για σχεδόν τέσσερα έτη επειδή δεν μπόρεσε γυμνός ούτε η ελαφρύτερη αφή. Τα τυποποιημένα φάρμακα που δόθηκαν σε της για να βοηθήσουν να εξετάσουν το βάσανο είχαν λίγη επίδραση. Αλλά αλλά το 2007 της προσφέρθηκε το κάνναβη-βασισμένο φάρμακο Sativex από τους γιατρούς στη διοικητική κλινική πόνου Gartnaval στο νοσοκομείο, Γλασκώβη, ως τμήμα μιας κλινικής δοκιμής. Το Rae έγινε ένας από τους πρώτους ανθρώπους στο UK που δίνεται το φάρμακο στη συνταγή αφότου επέτρεψαν οι γιατροί σε την για να συνεχίσουν το μετά από τη δοκιμή, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις βελτιώσεις στον όρο της. Μερικοί ψεκασμοί του φαρμάκου κάτω από τη γλώσσα της κάθε ημέρα έχουν επιτρέψει σε Rae για να οδηγήσουν μια κανονική ζωή. «Πριν, ο πόνος περιόριζε συνολικά τη ζωή μου και τι μπόρεσα να κάνω,» είπε τη μητέρα δύο. «Ήταν τόσο κακό που δεν θα μπορούσα γυμνός να έχω κάποιο να αγγίξει με ή ακόμα και τη βούρτσα ενάντια στο βραχίονά μου στην οδό. «Όταν οι γιατροί πρότειναν να ωφελήσει η δύναμη καννάβεων δεν ήμουν βέβαιος, αλλά ήξερα ότι δεν θέλησα να συνεχίσω όπως αυτό. Μέσα σε μια εβδομάδα από τη λήψη του άρχισα μια μεγάλη διαφορά - αισθάνθηκα απείρως καλύτερα.» Ο Καναδάς έγινε πρόσφατα η πρώτη χώρα στον κόσμο για να εγκρίνει ένα κάνναβη-βασισμένο παυσίπονο όταν έδωσαν οι προϊστάμενοι υγείας σε Sativex το πράσινο φως για τη χρήση. Δόθηκε την έγκριση για τη συμπτωματική ανακούφιση του πόνου στους πάσχοντες κρατών μελών, και οι αρχές ΒΡΕΤΑΝΙΚΉΣ ιατρικής εξετάζουν αυτήν την περίοδο μια παρόμοια εφαρμογή. Οι γιατροί ελπίζουν ότι το φάρμακο θα εγκριθεί έπειτα για τη συνταγή για άλλους τύπους χρόνιων πόνων. Αλλά Rae έχει επιτραπεί για να χρησιμοποιήσει το φάρμακο στη συνταγή δοκιμή ως τμήμα εκτεταμένων ανοικτών ετικετών `» από την αρχική τρίμηνη κλινική δοκιμή που τελειώνουν πέρυσι. As the wife of a doctor in a quiet rural village, she said she was wary about taking the drug, and its hardly surprising as the newspapers are filled daily with tales of woe regarding cannabis, which is enough to put some people off seeking relief from their conditions. She said: “As someone who had never smoked or taken cannabis before, I did not want to become addicted to it. “There is a lot of controversy surrounding cannabis because it is an illegal drug, but in comparison to other drugs it is quite tame.” Rae was diagnosed with breast cancer five yeas ago, forcing her to give up her job as a nurse at the Western General Hospital in Glasgow. Her husband Allan, a retired doctor, and their sons Fraser, 36, and Neil, 32, have supported her after she had a lumpectomy to remove cancerous cells from her breast. The surgeons also removed lymph glands from under her right arm, but together with radiotherapy it caused her nerve endings to become inflamed and damaged. Each day Rae must take about 10 sprays of Sativex to ease her pain - less than a quarter of the maximum daily dose. But she admits it does have some side-effects. She said: “It does make me sleepy and hungry - it gives me the munchies.” Multiple sclerosis sufferers have been campaigning for years to be allowed to use cannabis to ease their symptoms. One sufferer, Biz Ivol (now deceased), from Herston, South Ronaldsay in Orkney, sparked a furious debate when she admitted making cannabis-laced chocolates for other patients with the same condition. She later stood trial for the possession and supply of cannabis in 1997 but was admonished by the court after admitting growing cannabis plants to relieve her pain. At the time, the British Medical Association appealed for leniency for MS sufferers facing drug charges for using cannabis. Another case against Ivol was abandoned last year after her health began to fail and she died in September last year. Paul Cruikshank, a friend of Ivol and a member of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance, said: “Patients should be able to get hold of a medicine without fear of being prosecuted. Putting people in jail for using a medicine that alleviates their pain and symptoms is totally wrong and against their human rights.” Former Home Secretary Charles Clarke ordered a rethink on the government’s decision to downgrade cannabis to a class C drug. Fears that the psychotic effects of the drug could lead to long-term mental illnesses such as schizophrenia caused anti-drug campaigners to call for a reversal of the legislation. They also fear use of the drug can lead to abuse of other harder drugs. A point which has since been disproven many times. But Alistair Ramsay, director of Scotland Against Drugs, said distinctions had to be made between abusing drugs for recreation and using them for medical need. He said: “It is hardly surprising that cannabis is having a proper medical effect on people who suffer pain. “Other drugs derived from opium like morphine have been used for similar purposes. It is only when they are used improperly that the problems can occur. Like many drugs currently available on prescription, doctors will need to use caution to ensure it is not being misused.” A recent study by researchers at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland found even cannabis-based medicines used for pain relief can cause symptoms such as paranoid delusions and severe anxiety. But Dr Mick Serpell, the consultant who led the Sativex clinical trial at Gartnaval, believes the drug could help patients with few other choices. He said: “We had some good results in our patients - it helped about one in three. “These are patients who have tried everything else, so to get that kind of response can help a lot of people who have no other choices. The type of people who use it to treat pain are totally different from those who use it for recreation.” Have Your Say: Marijuana gave cancer sufferer her life back Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
