About mstaz88

I am a married mom of 2 boys, 16 and 20. I returned to college (jr. year) in fall of 2007 to graduate with BS in psychology in spring 2009. After far too many negative experiences with medications and health care providers, I have set goals to become the most educated patient I can be, be an active participant in my treatment, and not give up until I feel I am receiving the best quality of life I can. After many bad experiences with prescription meds, I moved to a medical cannabis state, where I am healthier than I have been in years.
