CBD oil

[Mjhollywood1]

Hi everyone. After going back up to 5 mil of predsone. I am trying cbd oil. Without the t h c !due to my job that drug tests 🥴! I got the 500mg to start. I let you all know how it goes. I was told the cbd with the 3 percent t h c works wonders but i am not able to try that.

Works wonders on what? By whom? Just wondering - not disputing ...

Hi Mj,

I have been using it for about 5 weeks. I am in the process of researching all the ins and outs. I am interested in its affect on my stress response. Stress has a big impact on how my GCA is running. I am finding it very helpful and will continue researching. After 6 months I will reevaluate. Best, fm.

Ps - you can PM me if you want more details.

I have been using it for a few months. I was hoping it would help with inflammation and allow me to decrease the pred. a little faster. That has not happened. In fact I have had to increase to my original dose of 15mg. from 2 years ago. I am not saying the cbd oil caused that, but that it hasn't helped me to decrease. The only benefit I have seen so far is a lot better sleep. I take it three times a day. Morning, noon and evening.

I take it too, on going to bed. one 1000mg tablet. It certainly helps sleep and probably helps my SI joints too! they seem better if I'm taking the tablet than if i forget.

I make my own kefir, drink about 1 1/2 cups a day. Also cbd oil. I feel it has helped my mood, sleep and pain, taking anywhere from 30 to 45 mg. day depending on my symptoms. Presently at 16.5 mg pred after having much much difficulty in tapering. I also use a 1200mg salve from Lazarus Naturals on painful spots.

Sorry but I have tried both with and without THC and have found it to be of no value.

[fmkkm in reply to rocketman42]

It’s expensive too! You really shouldn’t be paying for something that has no benefit.

Would be interested to see how you get on - keep us informed!
