Hello everybody,
I know there are many posts here about CBD oil in general but I was wondering specifically about how long you should give it to know if its going to work for you or not?
Every time I Google this question I just get lots of articles saying roughly the same thing about CBD oil in and how it's new etc etc.
Cheers,
Cat

Yes I've read your comments on some other posts on this subject and its likely I don't have strong enough stuff as mine comes from Holland and Barrett. I bought the highest strength they had as I am resistant to most drugs. I bought this one because I know someones mother was able to come off all her meds after starting use of this product. However she had been diagnosed with Fibro after two unsuccessful surgeries failed to relieve her pain. She was then put on a lot of meds and then sometime later tried the CBD oil and was able to not need anything at all. The trouble with this is that with at least my experience of the syndrome it comes and goes, flares and subsides and I never know how you can really attribute something like CBD oil or to relief from the condition or just a natural winding down of a flare? Right know I'm having enough problems to try it anyway!
We’re can you get cbd from,as gp don’t give it out.
Cheers for the info, working out how to do a PM !
Took bout 4 weeks for me to feel it working, but definitely helping. Have managed to stop taking one lot of painkillers and reduced tramadol. Definitely give it a go.
I can only have painkillers 6 days a month because I have chronic migraines so I don't have many options as far as fibro goes, so I might as well give it a go!
I have had chronic migraines for more than a decade, nobody has ever mentioned the meds I take for fibro or ibs. Were you tested on the drugs ? How did the dr come to this conclusion ?
I've had chronic migraines for 20 years, it is well established now that painkillers, particularly opioid painkillers when taken too often cause rebound headaches. This is called "medication overuse headache"; there is some dispute amongst neurologists about the degree of strickness needed, so some advise no more than 10 painkiller days a month but my neurologist disagrees so I am allowed 6 triptan days and 2 "normal" painkiller days a month. I have Botox every 3 months for my migraines, you can only qualify for Botox if you have over 15 days a month of migraine and are taking the prescribed amount of painkillers, if you take too many they would suspend your Botox.
You should ask your GP to refer you to a headache specialist/neurologist if you don't have one already. It's a catch 22 really, but fibro, IBS and migraine are a common combination so they should be able to advise you better than I, but I do worry that CBD oil might stray into the painkiller bracket but my fibro is so bad at the moment that I'm doing it anyway!
Thanks for reply Cat, I have seen neurologist for years and tried all solutions available, including the BOTOX injections, which made it worse. Neurologist can no longer do anything to help, gp says their is a migraine drug waiting to be licensed that could work to prevent them but not for year or more. Usually about half of month with migraines but for some reason I had only 4 days without migraine during January, hence trying the cbd vape , does not come under painkiller. Acts on endocannabidiold system of body to reduce pain sensation and decrease inflammation. This week has been much better.
It sucks doesn't it? They want to stop my Botox partly bc I've been having it for years. They've stopped it 3 times before and I always get worse but they think it's not working anymore. I was gutted when that CGRP drug got turned down. I don't work so can't afford it privately. My neurologist said there's another one coming but as you said a while away. I'm at the end of the line treatment wise so when at end of March when they are not giving me anymore Botox I'm dreading it! I still have a high frequency of migraine but I do think the Botox lessens the severity.
Costs me £22, lasts a month. For £7 a week great result. Have recently bought vape to try as tried it out in shop and it cleared my head which was in a dreadful state from almost a month of migraines. So far, so good
