CBD oil for pain

Posted by timfitz @timfitz, Jul 19, 2016

After trying opiates, and lyrica, and mostly just suffering I tried sublingual CBD which is from the marijuana plant, but has no THC in it, you don't get high. It was very very effective. Not only did it reduce my pain at least 75%, it has a calming effect on the anxiety produced in those of us with chronic pain by the fact we have it. I do recommend it.... Be sure it is from a reliable source. You don't need to smoke anything or get high.

I can assure all when it comes to some things I have no "sweet spot". Charlatans are everywhere. I see them as predators.

Anyone taking Tylenol can test positive for THC. I have chronic pain and days I can do nothing much. Mayhap the day will come I would be willing to try nearly anything. Not there yet.

That’s fine. CBD oil has been a Godsend for so, so many people, including me. I thought much like you until a few short months ago.

@cbrackle I am terribly sorry to hear you have lyme. I am afraid I may have and have a friend who is out for the year who is horridly ill. Peace and health be with you.

Hi all,
I wanted to say thanks to all who have contributed to this board. It has been very educational for me since I may be forced to go on Medical Marijuana this next month.

I'm 56, have Lyme disease which manifests itself as chronic pain all over my body, Chronic pain syndrome, Bilateral peripheral Neuropathy, "fibromyalgia", and about 5 other named issues. I also recently had both full-knee replacements which has increased my peripheral neuropathy pain significantly.
I am on Social Security Disability, have 2 different neuro-stimulator implants, a combination of extended release and fast acting Hydromorphone totaling 48 mg daily, ER Gabapentin for my neuropathy, and a few others.

Unfortunately these only take care of say 60% of my pain and my new "open Market" medical insurance says they will not cover even 1/2 of the meds I am currently on. The cost of buying just one more ER Hydromorphone pill a day (I need 2-3 depending on our appeal) comes out to about $1000 out of pocket for the month.

So, even paying for medical marijuana out of pocket will save me thousands a month. Unfortunately I do not know if medical marijuana will even work or help me. I did try a large dose of OTC CBD oil with no relief. Fortunately my Pain Management Doctor does prescribe medical marijuana.

One more surprise is that since I will have been on SSDI for 2 years this summer I was notified that I will be enrolled in Medicare in June, so any part of my deductible/max out of pocket ($6,300) will be for nothing once they switch me over midyear.

Thanks again for the discussion and I will let ou know if I switch and what the results are.

Carl

I still have quite a few CBD capsules, do you have any recommendation on how to give it another try?
I started out trying one capsule, then went to 2, then got frustrated and went to 4.
They each contain 15 mg of CBD.

May I ask how much and what brand you’re taking?

Remedy . Made in ME for a ME pharmacy. CBD MCT 50. 13 ml. 50 mg in 1cc. I was taking .5cc twice/day until I read the article that I may be taking too much and missed my "sweet spot". I've tried cutting back but I really don't know what to cut back to.@

I'm still not feeling the effects of CBD. It's been about 6 months. 25mgm 2 times/day. Is less better or is it if you find that sweet spot, decreasing little by little until I feel good at the lowest dose possible.
