Hi Trophygirl,

CBD doesn’t work for everyone, as some people make enough of their own natural cannabinoids. Having said that, the way you take it and store it is als important. There is a degree of trial and error needed to find your perfect dose. I’ve written some hints on using CBD, let me know if you’d like the link. Rosey

I use it and it works for me, doesn't take the pain away but it dulls it. I get mine from CBD brothers.

Hi Joan2344,

I’ve been taking CBD for 3 years now and have come off my fibro meds. I still use a TENS machine etc, but it helps me enormously. Research has shown that regular low dose CBD is effective for chronic pain, as it stimulates our endocannabolid system to produce more of our own natural cannabinoids.

I’ve written up hints on getting started with CBD and getting the best from it. Let me know if you would like me to send you the link.

Simply CBD and CBD Brothers are both good. I have no commercial interest. 🙂 Rosey

I vape it (from an online shop called Canavape) occasionally, when the pain stops me from thinking about anything else. Not sure of the health risks of vaping (I've never smoked), so I don't use it very often, but I do find that it helps when I do.

Hi Bluelily,

CBD is non-hallucinogenic, it is the illegal THC element, particularly in high strengths, that can cause problems. Plants grown for CBD have just a tiny trace of THC, the legal limit is 0.2% which is too small to cause an issue.

Interestingly, all mammals have an endocannabinoid system that produces cannabinoids, which act as messengers to keep the body in a state of balance. The system controls a wide range of processes including pain, mood, memory, energy levels, immune response, appetite and our response to exercise. It is even found in breast milk, to encourage babies to feed.

If we don’t make enough of our own, taking low, regular doses of CBD will stimulates the body to produce more of its own natural cannabinoids.

Conversely, if we make plenty of our own cannabinoids, taking CBD won’t make any difference! 🙂

Cannabinoids are also found in foods, such as dark chocolate, which has been shown to improve mood.

I’ve been taking it for 3 years and it has reduced my pain sufficiently for me to come off all my fibro meds. I just take a low dose of codeine at night for a fractured vertebrae and other painful conditions.

If you would like links to the research, or more information on about CBD, please let me know and I’ll send you the links. Rosey x
