Fibromyalgia and Medical Marijuana

“I have patients with a range of pain syndromes who have failed all their other treatments and for whom Herbal Cannabis has been the only reasonable option that they have that controls their symptoms,” - Dr. Ware.

Fibromyalgia is a disorder where nerves amplify and exaggerate sensations of pain.  Sufferers hurt at the slightest touch.  Researchers debate the cause of Fibromyalgia, with physical and mental stress, environmental and genetic causes being the prime suspects.

Symptoms Include:

• Pain in whole body
• Fatigue
• Impaired cognition - defective thinking
• Depression
• Cramping in the gut

CASE STUDY - HOW MEDICAL CANNABIS SAVED FIBROMYALGIA PATIENT

"For a year, I was battling horrible Fibro leg body pain."

 

"I did a lot of research on MMJ.  I heard that hemp CBD oil was working for an awful lot of people and there were a lot of studies saying that CBD was good.  I used the drug Flexeril to knock myself at nighttime, but that drug was useless for daytime, because I was way too dopey to function, so during the day, I had to live with the pain."

 

"Once I got my CBD oil, I used it sublingually (under my tongue) every couple of hours.  It started working hour by hour more and more.  After day 1, almost all the pain was gone.  After I used up the bottle, I bought some other CBD product but it didn't work, I got scammed and found out there was not much CBD in the product.  Now I'm wiser and look carefully at the label and who I buy from.  Based on my experiences, I would say that everyone with Fibromyalgia pain should try CBD oil - but make sure it's the good stuff!"  MMJ Patient Name withheld (paraphrase)
