I understand that hashish is being studied in Germany for its pain relieving properties in fibro patients. I could see this being effective. I have found some mj makes me paranoid and makes my pain worse. My state has not legalized mj so have not used it much. Not even sure which strain works for what. Vicodin worked great for a while but now am on fentanyl and I believe I may have to up the dose as after 2 years it is starting to lose its effectiveness :( I sure hope that one day they will find something that actually cures this disease instead of masking the symptoms.

S.W.I.M (someone who isn't me)
has tried marijuana and it has helped with the pain and sleep.

Yes hash does help with the fibro pain..

I live in Washington State, we just passed a law that allows a small amount even for recreational use! I believe it is the safest pain killer out there. I would use it instead of Vicodin, but I just can't stand the way it makes me feel. It's funny too, because I loved it in high school lol. Oh well. (((hugs)))

I live in Maine and it's legal for medical use through Dr prescription.
There are many strains to try to suit your needs , blends between Sativa and Indicas .

I was in the deepest hurt with fibro bed ridden for over six months and practically almost 2 years trying to halt the pain with prescription pain killer Oxycontin. My Dr fired me just before I needed a refill prescription and Oxy withdrawals were hell.

To my surprise I found the MMJ worked for many of my symptoms and pain. I used it daily for a month and a half once in late morning and then before retiring and it helped me sleep and wake with out pain.
Many of the symptoms like fibro fog, irritable bowel, fatigue, depression and insomnia dissolved away.

Now I use it occasionally with a couple of Ibuprofen winter is here.

I wish the federal gov would stop portraying MJ as a dangerous drug and allow all peoples to get relief from a natural pain reliever.
