CBD oil and Avastin

[Toni16]

Hi all just wondering has anyone had any experience with CBD oil. A friend recommended it for joint pain which I have alot of with the Avastin but not sure if I can take it while on Avastin. My friend was taking it with statins and found it really successful. Ax

Hi I dont have any information on cbd oil but i am interested to see that you have joint pain from Avastin.I had my 5th infusion last friday and i feel my joints are quite stiff especially knees and arms.I didnt realise this was a side effect. I get the nausea and runny nose and of course tiredness but other than that its going ok Hope your well otherwise

Hi I suppose side effects are different for everyone. I had Avastin for 9 months last year but had forgotten what the side effects where except for joint pain. Although some of this is also due to being thrown into menopause and is due to menopausal arthritis as my onc told me but I believe Avastin makes it worse. Just would love to ease some of this as some days I feel about 100. 😫

Hi there soak in a bath of warm water with a cup of Epsom salts added also on your next blood test ask to get your magnesium levels checked while you are there. There are aches and pains from Avastin, I used ankle and knee supports to get around. The nose can be sorted with Neil Med rinses

Hi Antoinette I use hemp holistic paste 17% most days and find it has no bad side effects apart from a dry mouth and throat so I drink extra water. I would love to get a really good cbd oil that is proven to have good results. XX Clare

Hi Clare,

Thank you I will look into that also. Very keen to find a solution to the pain as it’s very debilitating. Will see onc on Thursday so will chat with her about it. Fingers crossed I’m allowed take it. Although I know she will reiterate to me about getting and staying fit which I’ve been doing but finding increasingly harder with each Avastin. Some days a good long walk leaves me useless for rest of day. But other days it gives me energy. Im sure I’ll figure it out one of these days. 🙃 Hope all good with you. Any news on treatment? Have you got any further with consultant? Hope your doing good. A

I know especially this time of the year can be hard to get out for walks and be outside. I did 6 sessions of avastin after chemotherapy I had some upper arm pain I started Yoga at the same time and found it great I didn't need to take pain relief that often I also continued reflexology. I am waiting for my appointment in Vincents for pre assessment for cisplatin I have decided to go that route and will soon have the biopsy to check if I will be suitable for immunotherapy. I am taking wheatgrass trying to build myself up for this as I expect it to be harsh. I also use frankincense oil from DoTerra and some of their aromatherapy blends. If you source a good CBD let me know. Good luck with the Onc hope they can offer something to help. I tried tumeric when on avastin my it upset my stomach there are mixed reviews about taking them together. best wishes Clare
