Chronic inflammation and seeing a new doctor

Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, Mar 12 1:39am

Please any feedback from anyone suffering chronic inflammation. I'm currently diagnosed with PN and lichens sclerosus. Although through the years ive come up with many ANA positives some with high titers, I have no other diagnosis for my chronic inflammation. My RA test was negative, the only other thing that was flagged was an elevated DSDNA. So was tested for Lupus but my Complements were normal. It's been around 5 years since I last saw a Rheumatologist and am seeing a new doctor soon. I have pictures of flares and want any advice on going at this again as it is disheartening. Thanks

Has anyone here used CBD effectively to help manage chronic inflammation? Or more specifically CBG (Cannabigerol) or other cannabinoids? Have you used it in tandem with other medications or to reduce anxiety to ameliorate the pain?

I have used cbd and it can help my pain. I've tried all sorts and I found the mouth sprays or edibles, I prefer the chocolate, worked best.
