Cannabis Oil - Update For Lottie

[naomi24]

Just to let you know I bought the cannabis oil you recommended. I've been using it for about a week I think (lost track) and I'm sure it's proving to be beneficial, so thank you.

Out of curiousity what strength are you using, naomi? as i beleive theres 2 strengths. I could be wrong though.

[piggynose]

just to confirm there are 2 strengths, well at least there is here in Spain, from 5% to 24% .

[naomi24]

20mg per day, piggy.

I had arthritis from 11 due to hypermobility spectrum disorder/EDS which really wasn't known about back then. Never got the right diagnosis until my sixties. So now arthritis in all joints and a very damaged spine. Also internal bowel problems and several hernias due to EDS. Also chronic anxiety. My son has inherited my condition and although not diagnosed, both my mother, her sister and my grandfather ended up disabled and riddled with arthritis. On top of this multiple allergies. I worked until retirement age despite all this.

I thought of trying CBD oil but have been advised
a) no good research evidence at the moment for its effectiveness with RAalthough there is a lot of the anecdotal variety.
b) in the higher strength it has a number of interactions with RA drugs and they are nasty enough on their own!

I don't think Clarion has any idea of how many people there are that live their lives in pain and never complain. I'm complaining now and those self satisfied old people who actually boast about how fit they are and how they have never missed a day day off work in their lives should stop and think how lucky they are.

I agree, as I often do, agree with MissT.
I, also, have inherited a degenerative disease.
I do not drink or smoke and eat healthily. Went to the gym for many years trying to fight the disease. No treatment, no cure and as I get older it gets worse.
You just have to get on with it.
If you have nothing wrong and are in no pain you are very lucky and should count your blessings instead of implying that other people's ailments are self inflicted.

Hi Gill. Thank you. Nice to see you. Xx

[ladybirder]

Well said Gill. I was fine until I hit 80 and then it all started to go wrong. Found out why I had for years been struggling to breathe, got COPD which of course is terminal. All my own fault because I smoked for many years, a lot!

Cannabis oil is legal. Do some research Gully and get your facts straight. It will give you something to do!

[gulliver1]

11.17 Miss T . And yet another rude answer from you.

[ModAnon]

Gulliver - please behave & stop stirring.

"Gulliver - please behave & stop stirring." Yeah, that will work.

Fortunately piggy I took the advice of my doctor who recommended the oil I take than try more painkillers that I knocked me out . He had just attended a medical conference regarding this particular oil. It's guaranteed not to contain any nasties and had approval. But obviously its still not available for prescription except for a very few conditions. Just very expensive!

Weird though because what I suffer from shares a lot of symptoms of MS.

[MissTerious2]

I never expected my NHS doctor to advise me to take Cannabis oil.

not that I wish to settle fings

CBD is legal in the UK as long as it contains less than 0.2% THC. As THC is a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. CBD is legal in the UK as long as it has been derived from an industrial hemp strain that is approved by the UK.

and.... The skunk examined by the researchers from King's College London was high potency - about 14% THC.28

skunk is 70x as powerful - cheaper if one were to dilute it - olive oil wd be suitable. Not hat I wish to be deleted for incitement to consume....
