Here in Canada using different methods for pain relief is getting more steam every year. I tried marijuana a year ago ,,(pill form cause I don't smoke) and found out I didn't really care for it. It seems I didn't give it enough time so I m going to give the oil a chance. Luckily it is legal here. I m tired of taking opiods.

Well not legal in the UK, however if legal there I hope if you are starting a new regime you are involving your main medical consultant. MaryF

Absolutely! This is done through a pain specialist.

Hello!

Have you tried naltrexone? Go to website lowdosenaltrexone.org. I went off opioids a year ago and tried this. I'm not painfree but it helps.

CBD oil is apparently legal in the UK. It is derived from 'non psycho active hemp.'

Yes if there is no active tch present, but this still causes many problems during debate on forums. I have to remove your link as it is advertising a site, which I know you are not doing really, not our rules, rules of the platform. MaryF

I wonder if this Specialist have had patients with HS/APS before so he knows what to do with you and how to treat you in the best way.

As you know such a Specialist is absolutely priority No 1 for us with this tricky illness!

Have you been properly anticoagulated as I read that your Specialist have not treated you at all (!?) Is that so?

Daisyd asked if you have other drugs besides Marijuana and Nancy suggested Naltrexone as an option.

I am so lucky that I do not use any drugs for pain yet. I do not think that drug you use is legal in Sweden either.

Good Luck and hope you will soon get the best treatment for your symptoms!
