I have had success with it in the past when I was dealing with severe arthritic pain, I found that the kush strains, grand daddy purps and white widow worked well for that. As for CRPS pain, I did try white widow a few months ago. It seemed to have the opposite effect. The burning and stinging pain seemed to be increased, unless I made cookies, (by the way, oatmeal cookies do a wonderful job of masking the flavor of the marijuana), but it was costing too much to make a batch that would be effective. Because of that, I no longer use marijuana in any form.

Can anyone give a reputable site where one can get CBD oil that is legal in every state and a brand that works for them if they even have "brands" of CBD oil?

Hi Guys I live in the backyard of the world - Australia where laws change so slowly. This is encouraging.
I am sorry I haven't been well enough to visit for sooooo very long but having had this horror of a life for 15 + years I am at wits end. Oh and apologies for typos. Each year when we go into our long hot summer I go into a fear state of the heat and life itself - keeping food in the house is so very hard. I hibernate in the A/C house but the breeze from the unit puts me through hell and then there is the thermal shock which no one here can comprehend. I "walk" around in utter melt-down actually wet all over with pain sweat should I have to go out in the daytime and people are scared to be near me as I look so very ill. For those who do not know as it's been so long since I posted, I have severe CRPS R knee / lower leg with the most horrid untreatable peripheral neuropathy with accompanying pyrexias etc. You all know this story so to cut it short this MMJ is really something I want to try MMJ in one form or another but I cannot see a way around the legal speed humps. We are both close to retirement age now and for real reasons I cannot go sown the illegal track as it could jeopardise our financial future and my marriage but you have given me the faith that some sanity that may come in time. As with many here NONE of the usual drugs have helped including intrathecal pumps, localised stimulators and all the gambit of drugs available on Rx here and herbals etc. The last time I went to my GP our authorities system (Govt pen pushers) cut back on my prescribed number of Endone to 5 mg per day so I have been totally miserable in pain beyond my belief and my GP is stuck in the company rut of trying to make me check for those issues that might onset with age - I think there is a bonus system for pathology in play here. Frankly I don't care as my "good" leg is now grinding bone after having to support the CRPS affected leg for these last 15 or so years .....all I want is Quality of life I DONT CARE IF I DIE with the life I write of without some quality to speak of. My dad is still going, yet with sudden onset dementia at 91 yo. so it this not fill me with confidence. His brother is older. I am sadly from long-lived stock. As my CRPS resulted dodgy surgery from repair of a torn meniscus after a work accident I am not keen for more surgery. Cutters cut after all. I have little trust of our medical system. Again thanks for the inspiration to pursue this MMJ issue as much as I can. It is the only light at the end of this long tunnel and I thank you all for your constructive and encouraging comments. These are the most enlightened experience-based writings I have seen on the subject. All the best to ALL of you good folk. Last edited by Auberon; 11-03-2017 at 06:35 AM. Reason: Missed a point |

WOW, I'm so sorry you are suffering so much. Have you read about the newer treatments? The neridonate (sp) is showing hugely positive results in many patients. I don't know if that is something you can get down there. What about Ketamine?
My doc just put me on buprenorphine which, along with the lamictal and cymbalta, is keeping things more reasonable (though I hear you on the breeze from AC/fan ouch!). Most docs don't do buprenorphine, none of my previous docs even MENTIONED it. |

They tried Fentanyl pain patches on me first, but I had horrible side-effects, and in Belgium there is only one other pain patch on the market, so... the choice was quite obvious. And these do well with me. I have been on them since 2004, still the same dosage and everything.

The buprenorpine patch isn't for breakthrough pain, it even says that on the box, but probably that isn't what you meant. In fact I felt like the best part of the patch, and now the once a day sublingual is that there aren't peaks/valleys in the pain coverage. My doc told me that the full pill is like 4x as strong as the 20 mcg patch. I decided to only do 1/2 pill at first based on that, because WOW. (I was weaning off the Methadone and onto a patch, so once off the methadone he put me up to the pill).
I think it is interesting, though, in the states no one mentions it at all. |
