"My condition is called Achalasia, which is a rare esophageal disorder. Life is very difficult because I do not know at the beginning of each week how sick I will be by the end. I vomit most times before my food gets to my stomach to digest. I have struggled with malnutrition, low electrolytes, and frequent hospitalizations. I would love to be a functioning member of society with a job, but my condition will not allow it. I have had multiple failed surgeries including a cholysysectomy, lypoma removal, heller's myotomy, and a DOR fundoplication. I struggle with severe abdominal pain almost chronically. Medical marijuana has helped with nausea control, severe muscle spasms, and the chronic pain thus allowing me to stabilize my nutrients and electrolytes and enjoy food. If I can nourish and hydrate myself properly, I can stay out of the hospital long enough to hold a job. It is very difficult to find quality medicine in Ohio because growers fear being arrested and that makes good medicine scarce. If the Ohio Medical Cannabis Amendment were to become law, I could work and support myself and function properly. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do and it would be nice to be able to do it without all the fear associated with being sick all the time."
