After 9 years of using prescribed morphine sulfate when needed for nerve pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome, I was needing 60 mg. to control the pain. Recently I began using CBD cream, and I now can take only 45 mg. of morphine sulfate to get the same result. I'd love to know a doctor in my locale who is knowledgeable about cannabis use. I hate using morphine, but I cannot tolerate the pain when it occurs.

@authorchris Greetings. I was just passing by and was drawn into your post's message. I was introduced to myofascial pain syndrome about 8 years ago.....at least that was when my neurologist told me and we started trying to "reduce the pain". When two nurse friends found out I was sitting on the edge of the bed crying during the night, one of them introduced me to medical cannabis. That was early on and there were not a lot of discerning choices. However, I chose to stay as educated as possible as the industry began to blossom so rapidly.
Of course, you know that everyone is different.....and some have conditions that prohibit certain types of cannabis. I do know that the dispensaries often have special cannabis pharmacists who can advise. Is your pain in defined locations or just all over your body?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
