Before I went on holiday I bought a packet of CBD teabags with the idea that I had nothing to lose but my money! They are not cheap, at £10.99 for 10 but one bag will do three infusions. I took it the 2 days before I went away and noticed a real difference to my hip pain. Too chicken to take any with me (in case of sniffer dogs at Customs!) I did without for the week and my hip started playing up again. Now I am home I have had 3 mugs each day and guess what? The pain in my hip is receding again and I am walking normally once more. Has anybody else had experience of Cannabis tea or CBD oil?
Anybody use cannabis oil for sleep problems? I gave restless leg syndrome and have real difficulties sleeping. If you do use it, how much do you take in the evening?
I read on another forum about CBD tablets helping ease the pain of arthritis. As I have another condition that prevents me taking anti inflammatory medicines I decided I'd give CBD tablets a chance. I told no one I had bought and was taking the CBD tablets but within the month I was walking further where previously I was using a mobility scooter for shopping etc. Friends couldn't believe the difference in me. Even my Dr was surprised I was walking without a stick when I checked it was ok to take the tablets. That was two years ago. I do still have bad days with arthritis flares but the majority of the time I feel much better spending hours gardening etc. I have recommended CBD to family and friends. Those who have taken it have noticed the difference.
Would it help ease the pain of arthritis in the spine? I'd try anything which would help. My strong painkillers upset my digestion dreadfully, so I hardly ever take them.
Thanks Maw, I'll have a look for some tea bags. For what its worth, friends are using CBD for their ageing achey dogs and horses, with good results. Same goes for turmeric paste. Sadly I can't take Turmeric because I'm on blood thinners. The clinic say its ok to continue to use it in cooking as I have for years but not to take it in the condensed form.
DS bought DH some CBD oil and cream for his birthday as DH is suffering with his hip. The look on his face was a picture - you’d have thought it was heroin! With a lot of encouragement he’s used the cream and although he says it feels soothing as he rubs it in it hasn’t actually done any good.
The cannabis tablets have been scientifically proven to be beneficial to sufferers of certain conditions. It can be a postcode lottery as to who will get a persciption for it . A couple of years ago a mother with a young son that had constant fits and blackouts started to use cannabis for him. It worked very well, the only thing was she could be open to prosecution but she continued to use something for her son that worked. Eventually the doctors decided her son should get that medication and prescibed it for him and took all the stress out of the situation for the mother.
Those who wish to try it can simply Google it. There are loads of suppliers. It is fashionable at the moment as an added ingredient to everything from tea to shampoo. Personally I prefer to stick to medication which has been scientifically proven to work.
That sounds like good tea (CBD) tea bags. I believe you can order most of those products on-line now as they have become very popular. Many years ago I used to have a cup of tea in the afternoon for sickness associated to pregnancy. My neighbour had a few cannabis plants in the back garden hid behind his large flowering foliage and would give me some leaves to make up a tea. It did help. I am not living there any more and anyway do not use that type of pain relief any longer
If it's a fashion it's a very long standing one. People have (illegally) been using dope as a pain killer for many years. And I'm not talking about addicts. Just normal people with chronic pain. I know one. Late 70s. Harmless pensioner. If anyone knew, they'd be horrified.
