is it safe for me to use these jellies with my medication. I am really struggling with my weight again. I’ve put back on3 stone. I am getting nowhere with SW this time. My fault! Not in the right headspace the last few months. Wondered if I could use these for a while to get started.

Thank you in advance for any help

That’s a question for your doctors Sheena, we can’t tell you what to take or not. People can tell you if they have taken them or not but that doesn’t mean it’s ok for you too. Give your rheumy nurse a call and ask 😊

CBD interacts with many meds and supplements. You really need to sisal with your pharmacist or gp to ensure your not on anything that does interact. In some instances it can stop your medication reaching therapeutic levels, in other instances it can lead to toxic levels of your medication. Please speak to either your pharmacist or GP.

I asked my Rheumatologist about this, they probably won't give you a straight answer - they told me they're not allowed to endorse it as there isn't enough research available at the moment . I took CBD oil with methotrexate and it really helped, so I think it's down to personal choice.Hope you find something that helps ❤️

I'm on Sulphasalazine and Leflunamid for my RA and I've been using CBD gummies for the last week for back pain. I have osteoarthritis and stenosis in my spine and the results have been remarkable. I've been pain free ever since the first one. Please make sure you buy from a reliable source such as Holland and

I don`t take any regular medication for my arthritis only naproxen and paracetamol when the pain has been bad. I`m now taking 4800mg strength CBD oral spray (Vitality is the brand I use, I bought it from my local herbal shop) and I no longer need to use naproxen and paracetamol. It definitely helps alot. Do your research and make sure it doesn`t interact with your meds. Lots of people take CBD oil and have said it helps them. I prefer it to taking NSAID`s which will damage my body if I use them for too long.

I am in Canada and the pharmacist said CBD was fine to have while on methotrexate.
