I am very fortunate to live in Washington state where medicinal marijuana has been legal since 1996, and recreational pot was legalized and just implemented this past July. I use Blue Dream strain during the day. It stops the pain and elevates my mood, which makes life awhole lot more...

Gabapentin really helps me with nerve pain (neuropathy). It seems to quiet the nerves which is a big part of my fibromyalgia pain. I take 600 mgs twice a day. I also take cymbalta (60 mgs) in the morning and tramadol, as needed (usually once daily). I am trying to get off as many meds as...

I'm a medical marijuana patient and I vaporize it and take CBD rich tinctures. I live in Washington state where both medical and recreational are legal. I will be making my own marijuana products in about 4 weeks. I prefer waxes, crumbles or other concentrated forms. You can get pot in pill...

Justbrown, I find the cannabis (hemp oil) with high CBD works wonders for everything. I am feeling the best I've felt in the 4+ years I have been suffering with fibro, degenerative disc disease, mild arthritis and Hashimotos. I want to get off all the meds, so I will see if I still feel as...

Trigger point injections in your upper back between the shoulder blades and around Here C4-5 has helped me tremendously. Depending on what the orthopedic doc says, you might benefit from facet joint injections as well. Just a thought. It works for me.

Covid, I do get the shortness of breath and racing heart when my thyroid gets hyper. Just a thought. If you haven't seen an Endocrinologist yet, you might want to. Also, with hyperthyroidism, panic attacks can be common. I continue to have thyroid issues that has my blood pressure all over the...
