yes quite a few have. if you search you will see previous discussions about their findings.

It is an interesting oil I must admit, I have tried it and admitted it does SOMETHING. Not sure exactly what but I felt different. Not in a bad way

I have bought it as I am going through a flare up at the moment and cannot get steroid injection due to covid19 . I gave it a try and like someone else said it does something but not sure what

Interesting you think the same, are you taking it regularly?

That’s very sweet. Yeah I had to try it for some time but I found the difference to happen fast. All a bit odd but not in a bad way. I had never tried anything like it before so took me aback slightly

Yes I did, I found a small reduction in the pain but it gave me a very acid stomach so decided that the benefits didn't outway the negative effect. Other people have found it a great help and others it has done nothing at all for. I did ask my GP before using it as I am on alot of medication and didn't want it clashing with any of them.x

I tried three different bottles of very high strength. It didn't help me unfortunately. Lots of people found it useful, even the pain doctor suggested it. We're all different I guess.

I found it helped with depression & Anxiety, not so much pain but helps keep you in a better mind set of coping I won’t stop it now

I had tried it for over 18 months with no obvious side effects ( tho wondered whether it contributed to poor sleep), and then stopped it about a month ago, and had greater pain, so about a week ago started up again ( in morning). Pain is less. But could also be for eg weeks of good weather ( that I have learnt helps with fibro pain). So certainly worth a try, but wouldn’t expect overnight result!

I tried it initially to help with pain but not convinced it helps, however, I does help me relax and aids with sleeping when I wake up during the night or if Im struggling to drop off.

Yes it made me hungry and had not notable effect on the pain, but try it and see if it suits you.
