Anyone use CBD oil?

Hi Barb: I haven't used CBD oil, but in today's email I got from People's Pharmacy, there is an article called "Will Cannabidiol Relieve Chronic Pain?" I can't link to it as they have an on-line store, but thought you might be interested. Drug interactions are mentioned, which are important to consider.

Best wishes!

Barb, use of CBD is a very mixed bag in the forums here at Healing Well. You will find some members said it helped, or others saying it did nothing for them. This is a hot ticket right now, widely advertised & plenty of places to buy it. Keep in mind it always comes down to quality of a product too. You can always try it & see if it helps. Some people buy pure coconut butter & mix it with that as a topical.

If you are interested in reading about it here at Healing Well, use the custom search at the top right. Type in CBD oil for chronic pain or fibro pain. You should be able to find a lot of posts.

Take care.

I tried it for "real" pain - broken ankle not healing right, also for chronic anterior compartment syndrome. It didn't do anything. I also tried it on shoulders for fibromyalgia and lower legs for pain from nerves, not sure of the exact cause. It didn't do anything for that either.

I did get one bad reaction. I got bad tachycardia when I used a whole lot of it over a lot of places. I am "allergic" to sulfites, and the cream I used had coconut oil, which could have had sulfites to keep it white. My usual reaction is tachycardia. I have tried the CBD cream several times since then in smaller amounts on smaller places. It didn't do anything at all. I get lots more relief, although brief, from Voltaran gel.

My pain doc wants me to stop all my real pain meds/opioids and then he will give me a card for THC. I don't want it. I just posted a news report in the chronic pain forum. At least some patients don't think it works for their real pain.

I tried it for about 4-6 weeks. Didn't seem to do much, except make me incredibly hungry........which I was already struggling with before I started it, and it just made it worse. I know it's not supposed to do that, but I'm an alien.......
