I don't but I have been researching, so curious about replies. Really pleased to hear it's helping your pain. Would you mind saying how much you use and where you get it from? 🙂

I do. Stopped turmeric and trying this instead. Hard to know what effect since changed diet too. No pain or swelling, stiffness still especially in the morning.

Not hemp oil but CBD oil. I've been researching it for my h who's in permanent pain but can't take strong pain relief like opioids, although I'm intending to try it once I've found a reputable source to buy it from, lots of qualities out there it's proving difficult. This link may be interesting to you, it explains the difference between hemp oil & CBD, that is if you don't know of course qcinfusion.com/the-differen...

The amount of THC in the solution will be less than 1.7%, which in the UK is the level that is prosecutable. [is that a word? And I think that's the level - tiny anyway] That level will not affect your driving, nor your ability to operate heavy machinery.

I have some but am not so diligent in taking it. I use stuff from 'CDB Life' which is whole plant with turpines included. There's a lot of research suggesting whole plant is better than extracts.

Hi nellysran

Yes I take Hemp oil and it has made a massive difference to me. I can only speak for myself and how it has helped me. I have been taking the Hemp oil since May of this year and now I have come off most off my medication and I have the odd day that I get a little twing off pain but it is very manageable. It does give me constipation but I take a little lactulose to help with that. I have ulcerated colitis and it has helped with that and also my pain in my spine to which I fractured in 4 places. I will reiterate that I can only say how it has helped me. I would also say that people should do there own research and speak too there Doctors or pharmacist. Wishing everyone well as possible.

Hi nellysgran

Well I am on CBD oil , and yes it's made a difference for me. Today is the 17th day of useing it . I've never tacken drugs recreationally,(or otherwise), and I'm a 53yr young nurse. I am still reading and finding out what I can , about this CBD oil.

My day today was busy .Didnt feel like it , but pushed myself to drive the half hour in to meet a friend. After my friend getting upset , and telling me how terrible I looked ,and how I am looking so much older every time she sees me ..... which is a bit tragic because I've been seeing her weekly........ I finished doing few other errands , then came home to tutor for two hours.

My feet, toes ,ankles , elbows,hands, hip areas,fingers , right shoulder and my back.....all sore. I could of easily crawled into bed at five pm .

I took three drops of my cbd oil , at five pm , as soon as tutoring was over. At six pm I was still uncomfortable, so I took two sprays of my cbd tincture mix.(it has a more immediate effect). By 7pm , I was comfortable and cooking tea. I was not "stoned" , but I was relaxed , and able to move a lot better than I was throughout the day .The pain had certainly minimzed to a very acceptable level. I don't usually take my oil until I am going to bed , but I was pretty sore today , hence the extra dose . It's now 1030 pm . I have taken my usual four drops prior to going to bed. I am expecting to have a good nights sleep. I haven't slept this well for a few months.Normally I toss (very slowly I might add) from side to side , trying to get comfortable. My third night of taking it , I only woke once through the night, and fell asleep very quickly. This oil is medicine . It has even helped me emotionally I feel ........helped me to relax a bit more , and better able to cope with the terrible effects of this disease.

I am not on any other pain relief at present .I do have aggressive RD , diagnosed about 14months ago.....on Methotrexate and Enbrel .......and not good results from medications as yet .

By the way .....

My friends husband , who thinks for sure I'm now going to turn into some kind of drug addict .........has a bad back .......he spent half of last night , vomiting and abdo. cramps , because of taking endone tablets .....I know which I medication I would prefer .

Sorry if I've rambled on a bit .....

bottom line is , for me anyway , I think it's criminal that this medicine is still illegal .........

take care

Karen 🤗

Hi Karen. Just about to start on cbd oil just wondered how your going with it. Is it still working

Strayleaves profile image
Strayleaves in reply toZeet123

Hi Zeet123

Yes I am still useing it , one month tomorrow I have been on it . Yes it's still working. I am pretty sure I would be a lot worse off if I wasn't on it . The Enbrel is not working like it should , yet , and I can now feel like th RD is now affecting my knees .....no big flares or anything ....but I just feel like the meds aren't working.

I tale the cold extract at night , and I tackle the activated tincture .....4to 6 drops at night before bed. I have not slept this well for quite a while .

Are you going to try some ? Have you Read much about it ?

It's very much an individual persons decision ........to be honest , I never thought I would try it .....but I have , and will continue to use it as long as it's helping....

I have use a vaporizer but it is very costly so I have now switched to oil vapo. It cost significantly less.

The Arthritis Foundation has made the study of cannabis the main focus this year. I will try to locate the most recent research. It talked about receptors in our joints. People with RD have twice as many receptors. I am allergic to Naproxen, hence all NSAIDS. My CRP dropped from 84.7 to .05. No steroids or NSAIDs. That was when I stopped all drugs and triggered a spontaneous remission.

Wondering what type of oil in in your oil capo

Damaged in reply toBerOGrady

There are several types. But FLyte uses oxygen to condense to oil. Far more natural.

I have just started using CBD oil orally i take 3 drops 3 times a day which was advised... Im a currebt herbal smoker.. Which supplies the cbd for a carrier... Thc is the runner for cbd enabling it to get where it needs quickly.. (atom) i have always been a big stress head and anciety ridden.. This last week that ive been taking it i can 120% reassure any anx sufferers need to purchase cbd!.. I havent had many tremors or inability to speak... My bowels seem to be easing uo majorly aswell!.. Love to hear others are recieving great feedback!.. Just study what you can and cant take wilst on Cbd as it uses enzymes in liver that can counter other drugs leaving them sat in your system being vulnerable to their side effects..
