I have started using Cannabis.

OK, its CBD oil in capsule form.
They were recommended to us to try and get over this terrible fatigue and build up an appetite.
Been on them 5 days now. Low strength (10 MG).....one per day.
We "think" we are feeling the benefits and I hope its not just a placebo affect.
I will let you know

Yes, World Health Organisation. A new paper published last wednesday.

 

[Dave7]

recommended by who??

Just someone who has been taking it.
Its Holland & Barrett so should be fine.

I emphasise......these are just legal CBD capsules......not actual cannabis.

I was taking them for OA...i say 'was' because the condition flares and subsides irregularly so its hard to quantify what any particular remedy is actually doing ?
After months of aching pain in my hips, knees and ankes and tiredness in the legs at the end of the day, paracetamol, ibrufen were just taking the edge off but it was a fairly debilitating period that forced me to try CBD capsules.
After about 3 weeks i found myself not taking anything, painkillers or otherwise. The aches and stiffness are still there but its pain level 3 instead of 6 (my own measure) and manageable.
But, as i said, i might just be going through a good patch anyway, who knows ?

I presume H&B gave you the grapefruit warning?

It is cannabis, your oil has had the THC (that induces the highs) removed.

Hmmm, either promote a natural, easy-to-cultivate and effective cure that is FREE, or carry on lining the coffers of the pharmaceutical companies, that have governments on their pay-roll. Who is going to win that fight?

Anyway, I'm not interested in debating this further: the mainstream news believers can just carry on believing their fairy tales.

As are those who put their head in the sand & believe it does no harm, as somebody who is still dealing with a daughters use 15 years after she stopped I know who I believe.

How is it supposed to help Dave? Genuine question

 

[fossyant]

Ive tried the drops myself. Its supposed to help with pain and mood without the highs. The H&B stuff is very mild, thats what I had. I got out of practice taking it.
