Hello Everyone!
I am grateful to find this forum. I am hoping I can find some real answers to so many unanswered questions. My Daughter has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. She also has Psoriatic Arthritis, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Migraines, Chronic Tension Headaches, Cluster Migraines, and a few other things that are relatively minor. She is in constant pain over her entire body 24/7. She has headaches every day and migraines probably 2 times a week and sometimes more. She has tried the major medicines given by a Rheumatologist for arthritis but nothing worked. A majority of the medicines prescribed either do nothing or do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Prednisone for example makes her arms swell and causes massive pain. Lately there have been increased challenges because her long time doctor of about 10 years retired and the new doctor she was assigned to seems to be laser focused on taking her off of her only pain medication. Without any pain medicine at all, she is basically bed ridden with increased pain and stiffness. I would like her to try CBD but she is afraid because she tried it in a pill form years ago and didn't like the effect. She said it made her feel high for days. Truthfully, I am not convinced it was CBD because it sounds more like medical marijuana to me. Anyway, I am glad to be here and hope to get some great information as we are close to the end of our rope.
