Fibromyalgia - anyone else?

[Morgaine]

Hi People,

 

Just wondering how many sufferers we have out there in OSA land...

 

I use mj medicinally for Fibro/CFS that I have and would go bonkers without it !

 

Anyone else out there ??

Hey Morgaine,

 

I don't personally suffer from fibromyalgia, but my mother does. Iv'e been trying to convince her to use MJ to relieve her chronic pain, which is getting worse with age, but leaning to the more conservative side, she doesn't approve. I also know a couple of people with CFS, having both really sounds like a load. I'm glad you can find relief with marijuana, i'm imagining it's a godsend.

fibro , hugh , you poor thing . not me thank god , but i know a lot about it .

 

anyways , what you find best indica or sativa ?

 

all the best for some decent relief

Hey Everest & Eexpee

 

Keep trying to convince your mother, maybe show her a vape or something??

It really helps my pain which is widespread. I usually can't do much after a smoke but I don't

feel as much pain and thats the goal I guess! Some stuff actually helps me get

more stuff done at home. Depends on the gear. Indica's or a mix is good for me.

Had some stuff recently that may or may not be skunk and that was great for pain

and mood, just nice and happy not over the top giggly .

 

Just trying to stay afloat with it, not kill anyone ( well at least cut down) and generally enjoy a laugh with the pain relief

 

Cheers

Yeah, ill mention a few ways of ingesting it, even a green dragon!

She was under the impression medical mj was legal in oz (I wish) so she thought she could take a pill...

guess not

 

How much do you smoke during the day for pain?

I hope she can function well while medicated, she has a demanding job

 

Thanks for your input

Hi eexpee...

 

Umm, she wouldn't be smoking at all doing a job, just not gonna happen

 

I haven't been able to work in almost 2 years now. Just couldn't cope or manage it anymore.

 

I am at a home most of the week, depending on pain levels or other symptoms, I might have a joint somedays

in the mid or late afternoon. After dinner, I'll have another joint, and a couple more thru the evening

usually so I can get a good sleep. Depends on the pot of course too, how much I need.

 

But I wouldn't be going to work stoned, no thanks .

Hi Billo,

 

Fibromyalgia is shit .

Basically it's fatigue, ( I have chronic fatigue syndrome also) widespread pain in muscles, joints for some

and fascia etc between muscles. There are lots of other smaller symptoms too, and many sufferers like myself

also have depression and anxiety on top. Some people describe it as like having the flu (not just a cold) constantly. For me, it's like arthritis all over, crossed with chronic fatigue. No cure, No known cause. Great .

 

Stress both phyisical and emotional/mental is the biggest trigger - so MJ is a saviour !

 

ABR, hang in there hun it will all be good soon, in the meantime partake of the ganja and all will be good!

 

Cheers all,

Morgz

Hi everyone,

 

My doctor has suggested MJ for my CFS. But I have not been able to find a source, Since I moved from the Central Coast. I tryed Spice/Spice gold, but its not the same. MJ helped with the pain like many of you have stated.
