Anyone tried CBD oil or medical marijuana for PMR?

I've been taking CBD oil since 2018 which always helped my regular pain, but it did nothing for PMR pain, in fact, it does not mix well with Prednisone and I can only injest a wee bit as it tends to make me really spacey (which it never did) and saying stupid things. Prednisone has brought my pain down 100%. The side effects are a trade-off but willing to accept them. Returning to work on Monday, part-time, after 6 months. I think I will not need another bottle of CBD for quite some time.

Be careful. I tried some CBD and I am guessing that it had some THC as a contaminant. I also got a little dizzy. The PROBLEM is most if not all CBD is not made to drug (FDA) standards so you are not sure what you are getting. I tried two different brands of CBD and both affected my reactions. One of the products note that it didn't contain THC. No way of knowing what it really contains.

Thanks for your input. I have not tried CBD for any pain other than PMR so I am interested to know that it is helpful for some kinds of pain. Glad you are feeling well enough to resume work part-time. I wish you the best in your PMR journey and hope you achieve complete remission soon.
