Hi there.I still haven't tried it. It's on my long list of things to do..However my life is in overload mode at present and my list is fading. I have heard and read good reports about the cannibis oil. I watched an impressive documentary on the use and manufacturing of the oil in Israel. One particular doctor has successfully treated over 25, ooo patients with various diseases. Cheers.

Aussiedi,
Thanks very much for the reply. I have a phone consult appointment with my doctor in November and I intend to ask her then if this is something she wants me to try. I will also search to see if I can find the documentary you mentioned.
I hope life tones down a bit so that you can focus more on healing. I know it is hard when there are so many priorities in front of you. I sometimes feel guilty that I am not able to do all of the things I used to do, but the solace I am taking is that if I rest as much as possible now maybe in the future life will become more normal. Here's hoping.!

Wishing you healing, calmness, and all things positive!

Hi there. I haven't been by in a while but noted this post. I have recently tried the medical strength varieties of cannabis tincture. I have a medical card in my state in the US and so I have to go to the locked down dispensary. My husband can't even come in with me, it's very secure. (you'd think it was nuclear weapons and not a plant!) I tried the CBD variety a few months ago, thinking it would be best for pain, and it did not work out well for me, my BP dropped and I was dizzy and nauseous. About a week ago I went again and I tried the Sativa THC rich tincture and it was an entirely different experience. While I felt it might make me too nervous as I have anxiety sometimes, this did not at all. I only felt pain relief and I guess mild euphoria? a feeling of well being. I need very little so far. The bottle says one drop has 0.25mg of cannaboids. So far I only need one drop midday to get me through the afternoon which is my bad pain/exhaustion time.
I am now in the column of those who feel the big drug companies are fighting the legalization of this valuable medicine because it will utterly destroy their profits. The bottle I have has 600 drops and with my "disabled" discount cost me only $42 US. If I used even 4 drops a day to get 24 hrs of relief (unlikely for me) I would still have FIVE MONTHS of pain relief for $42. Think about that. That is so far less than even taking OTC meds.
So I guess besides my story my suggestion to you is that if you do try it, don't give up and try different strains until you find one that works, and remember that most of us need far less than others because of how our brains work. So go slow and only buy a little til you see if it works.

I have tried it . For rheumatoid arthritis and cfs. It made me very very tired and did not relieve the fatigue. My husband and I both tried it and we were exhausted.
But I do have several friends that take it orally and are very successful and feel relief.
U will have to just try it to see if it works for you.

I wish I could buy the Sativa THC tincture drops, I really feel it would help me, but my state isn't legal.. makes me angry that something is out there that
might help me and I can't get it.. hemp oil is legal but I haven't tried it.
I just really believe this would help my cancer instead of the awful chemo drugs and radiation.. glad it is helping you Nina. If I could I would move out West

I have been using cannabis oil for pain related to lyme disease and cfs.
I take it in combination with naltrexone, a non narcotic. It works quite well unless I have a REALLY BAD DAY. On good days I excersize, which I believe helps with the joint pain.
