If so what strains appear to help the most with all of the symptoms of fibromyalgia?

Ok, so I found this fantastic article for us all! Sativa and Indica are the two types of pot, one is more of a "body buzz" while the other is more in your head. There are 85 different cannibanoids in marijuana. THC and CBD are the two most known and used. Anyway, rather than trust my memory, here's the link! http://hightimes.com/grow/understanding-the-eff...

If it's legal, there's a pill! Call your dr, see what you need to do. Smoking it is definitely not for everyone, and if I'm being honest, the way a pill works is probably better than smoking it for our pain. There are two types, so make sure you find out which one they want to try first that way you can try the other if it doesn't. Or it may be different in your state, I'm sure there's a website with all of the regulations. I'm in Ohio, and I know we have one! I need to get in touch with my own dr too haha.

I've used marijiuana regularly for years to help with persistent sleep and anxiety issues. I believe it prolonged my FM diagnosis because the pain would have been in control. It only reared its ugly head in the last year or so, and now I can totally tell when I need it. I'm not someone who uses it all day every day, 2-3 times like any med.
