Cannabis

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
TEXAS, TX

There was a study going on about cannabis for pain relief, like they do for cancer patients. Does anyone know anything about it?. I'm so desperate for relief I'll try anything. Sounds funny doesn't it, like wink wink riiiight. But actually I'm very straight and narrow and just grasping at any straw.

Members shared their experiences using cannabis for chronic pain relief, with many describing it as more effective than prescription medications for managing not only pain but also stress and anxiety. Several members offered practical guidance on accessing medical cannabis, including searching for state-specific information on how to obtain a medical card, exploring options like gummies or cannabis capsules for those who cannot smoke, and working through trial and error to find the right dosage. A recurring theme was the frustration of living in states where medical cannabis is not yet legal, with members expressing hope for future access while continuing to struggle with inadequate relief from traditional treatments like medications and injections.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I do use cannabis for pain relief and I find it works better then the meds the doctor keeps giving me. Not just for the pain but for stress and anxiety. It helps keep me from losing my mind when my pain and stress level are at there worst.

My preferred treatment is cannabis, I vape it in wax form and I have a friend who makes gummies with it. It isn't legal here yet, but I am hopeful. I've never had any trouble finding it, just stay away from dark street corner and back ally deals.
