Hello @upnorthnancy, I have used medical cannabis for several years. It works great for chronic pain that I have had for over 25 years. All of the people I know that use it agree that it works to varying degrees. It also has worked for symptoms of MS like sleeplessness, poor apatite, tremors, etc. There are different strains with varied strengths. One thing we have all learned is that CBD without at least a small amount of THC isn't as effective. A small percentage of THC won't give you a high. Charlottes Web has been effective in treating children with epilepsy. A close friends child was having several seizures a day so they started the treatments recommended with Charlottes Web and now she only has seizures 3 to 4 times a month. Without the cannabis I would be bed ridden quite often as I don't like opioids or the way they affect me. Talk with a Doctor who has experience prescribing it and see if they think it could help in your case. Good luck.
