I just decided to see what was in my G-mail and I found a wealth of information from others that are in the same predicament that I am in. I am going to add to the treasure of knowledge and let you know that a friend put me on to a Nova episode that was on PBS a few days ago and it is very informative as to CBD and the explosion of people using it for pain, sleep and a host of other information. Also, PBS has a show about pain which you will have to look for but it may be worthwhile. I have Adhesive Arachnoiditis and a few autoimmune issues. I have RA, Raynauds, Sjogrens and other issues and don't dare take NSAIDS by mouth. I'm busy at the present time, but I plan on diving in to the information that this group has divulged and I will share what I know. Hopefully, we can help each other through the maze of diseases and give each other some hope.
