I don't even know where to start..Pain everywhere

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear everything you’re going through! I’ve had similar (and some of the same) issues since 2009, and I’m only 58!
If you’re on Facebook—or if you aren’t, I suggest you sign up—join CBD Oil Users Group. It sounds as if you may have fibromyalgia, so I’d also recommend joining their sister group, CBD Oil and Fibromyalgia.
I am a living, walking poster child for CBD oil, and you will see many, many others just as excited about their new leases in life as I am.
Also check out (Google) “endocannabinoid system.”

There are two CBD oil groups on Facebook. There's CBD Oil Users Group and then there's CBD Oil Users Group Official. Which one are you referring to. Seems there's a lot of groups actually but also a lot of people trying to sell things.
Hmmm. I didn’t know about the group with “Official” in its name.
No sellibgbis allowed in the two groups I mentioned, and they’re closely monitored.
Hello @cahnny,
I am glad to see you have connected with some members that have given you some suggestions as to what you may be experiencing or avenues to discuss with your provider on trying to find answers. Based on your discussion with @gal_in_kalamazoo, here are few discussions on Connect that you may also find interesting:
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cbd/ - Discussion with members actively discussing CBD
- Fibromyalgia pain, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/fibromyalgia-pain-28e002/
@gal_in_kalamazoo, have you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, or are you just familiar with the disease?
@cahnny, you mentioned your doctor mentioned the possibility of fibromyalgia, if you don't mind sharing, has there been any follow up there?
Thank you for the links. Yes, I was (finally) diagnosed with fibro (among other things) in 2010.

Thank you very much. After I have my eye surgery I will look into that. I'm on a very limited budget so cost is a factor. My doctor actually gave me a prescription for marijuana and I did try it. It didn't help with the pain though. Actually sometimes it intensified the pain I felt....sort of like my neck muscles started tightening up so tight it caused pain from my neck down my spine. Seemrf to get different reations at different times. I understand CBD is different though so I will definitely look into it. I Binged CBD and found this interesting article. Here's the link. https://www.today.com/health/what-cbd-oil-everything-know-about-latest-health-trend-t118055
I'll look up the Facebook pages you mentioned now. As for Fibromyalgia, it's strange you say that. Actually just two weeks ago I was at my gut doctor's office. During our conversation he made a side comment that some of the complaints I had sounded like Fibro to him. I've wondered about it too. I'll check this all out. I assume you're a member of the CBD Oil Users Group on Facebook.
Thank you again
