Relief

@aschurly48 Hello,

Thank you for posting :) We recently had a big discussion about CBD oil for chronic pain, which you can access by clicking HERE.

Some of our members have already commented using CBD oil for pain, do you have any advice for this member?

Not sure what you mean by extreme? It works for me for Fibro pain and you can tailor it to your needs by taking more or less. Everybody is different. It doesn't work for me on days when I can't sleep due to pain though. It helps more with stress levels and sleep and in so doing helps with pain!

Although I have bought from Holland & Barrett the CBD oil, I didn't like the taste so changed to tablets which are 8 times stronger.  Although I take far less very strong pain reliefs (I have different strengths of pain relief including one that ones own body changes to Morphine whilst in the liver), I still need to have the one tablet that the bottle says at night.  I had stopped Baclofen and Amitriptyline with less pain relief, but I started to have painful spasms again so gone back to both of those (Baclofen and Amitriptyline), but the strong pain reliefs, I leave till I can't stand the pain any longer. I definitely recommend the 8 extra strength to that of the oil, but my previous doctor wasn't at all happy that I take this and practically throw me out - she got up, opened the door and said goodbye... A new practice has taken 800 of us as my doctors had closed. Do I mention that I take this CBD oil in tablets or be quite?  This would be my 2nd month that I am not renewing the strong pain reliefs as I have plenty. The tablets of CBD oil does not have THC which I think my old doctor may had thought of.  What happens if I  have to spend in hospital?  Would I be able to to take my CXBD tablets or have to go back with all the tablets I had to take?

I am inclined to agree that it depends on what you mean by extreme pain. By that I mean it might be a lot more than you are used to & that would be worrying (as all pain is inclined to be) but it doesn't necessarily mean extreme in disease terms. I have exacerbations of pain where all my joints and muscles ache. & I just feel terrible & yes there have been times when I would have swallowed poison to take it away (I didn't though!!) there are so many different things to do at times like these & it tends to be a very individual thing as to what works best for you. CBD oil is what we are discussing though & the answer is unhelpfully yes and no.I use CBD oil s an adjunctive therapy ie as well as not instead of other medicines. For me it has meant that I have not had to progress to stronger analgesics I use it late at night to get a better sleep because it hold the pain at bay for longer …. most times some mornings I waken and take 2 drops as I get up because I am so stiff & sore & yes it works in 10/15 mins & I can get washed & dressed. Dosages vary I started with 2000mg/10mls taking 4 drops as described I tried raw oil tastes worse but I thought it was more effective (same dosage)hit a bad spell & found myself taking 8 drops so I have now upped the concertation to 4000mg/10mls I now take 3 drops. What I am trying to say is that it depends on how you feel at the time on really bad days I will take it 3/4 times a day & it does help as long as you remember that nothing works miracles CBD oil has <0.2% THC that's the bit that makes people feelgood or high so you don't get that effect but for me at least it makes pain bearable.In the end you will have to try it to know if it will help you. You need to assess your present analgesia big difference between someone who takes 2 paracetamol & someone else who yakes morphine the first will find it helps a lot more than the second.I hope I have not belaboured the point or put you off it is most certainly worth trying
