Fibromyalgia

[ltv]

Has anyone found relief from the pain of fibromyalgia with CBD or cannabis?

 

[Madri-Gal]

Yup, sure do. Everyday, in fact. It's gotten to where I forget I have it, and then the meds wear off...

If you hit the little magnifying glass in the top right and search for fibromyalgia you’ll find multiple discussions about it.

Appreciate the information.

Thank you. It's a quick read, and well worth it.

Here they explain it a little bit more comprehensible.

@Madri-Gal Often science only proves what we knew already. But still gives some relief to see that they found out too.

Oh, that's funny. I never thought CBD alone did much for me and what I need, but now I need not feel sheepish about it.

Furthermore, the Principal Investigator, Professor Dahan, reached the following conclusion about THC: “Fibromyalgia patients experience pressure pain on muscles and tendons especially. Because only Bediol and Bedrocan show good results and the CBD product Bedrolite not at all, it means that especially THC is effective in this specific condition.”

Not questioning your experience!

Oh, I didn't think you were questioning my experience. I'm having a lovely time on topic. Any time a link to a nice article appears, I get all happy. You have all my appreciation for bringing science in. Always glad to see an interesting article.

THC access the central nervous system. THC acts as a neurotransmitter that's agonist derived allosteric modulation. THC adds voltage gated intracellular ions ( better cellular plasticity ) ... CBD weakly effects those type changes as an antagonist compound...

Cbd decreases beneficial effects of the?

CBD could cancel out THC properties somewhat but they work synergistic to one another as well

CBD will decrease the psychoactive effects of THC, but CBD -COMBINED- with THC has better entourage effect.

For FM, I've used everything from a 20:1 CBD:THC (AC/DC) to a 1:1 (Pennywise), increasing amounts of THC to the CBD increases pain management effects

Moving from say an 8:1 ratio strain to say a 4:1 strain, you'll note more pronounced psychoactive effects (these are common ratios for folks using it as their 'day' strain).

For FM, CBD has a lot of value, helping with pain, inflammation and spasticity (not to mention IBS) in particular... along with the anxiety and depression help CBD also brings.

CBD does have some ability to modulate the activity of THC, so it can also be useful to keep around for folks who don't know their limits and overdue it with concentrate or edible. But it's SOME ability, it's not all or nothing. CBD's ability to do this increases if it is take BEFORE intake of THC.
