Does anyone here use medical marijuana for their fibro pain? If so, does it help? And what is the process like in getting the medical marijuana card? I know the rules are different depending on which state you live in, I live in Minnesota.

Members shared their experiences using medical marijuana for fibromyalgia pain, with many finding it helpful for managing symptoms like pain, nausea, swelling, and vertigo, particularly when used at bedtime to help sleep. Several members offered practical guidance specific to Minnesota, including speaking with a doctor to see if they are part of the registry, seeking out pain specialists who can register patients for the program (though often at an out-of-pocket cost), and focusing on CBD products for medical relief rather than THC for recreational effects. A recurring theme was the significant cost variability between states and the financial burden for younger members or those without disposable income, balanced with hope that legalization efforts and alternative pain management approaches could offer more accessible relief.

M.J. does help. But use the CBDs that's for medical reason THCs are for getting high.
If u want a card for it, you need to find them. Google and find out how. Or ask around. Word by mouth. And they are Doctors....
My son got off all his meds for a rare illness he developed...Ugly and dangerous meds.
Hes now only on CBDs And to sleep HTCs...
I'm a witness to His much less pain. It works
I recommend them

I live in MN and currently am on medical marajuana. You can start off but speaking with your doctor to see if they are apart of the registry. If not there are several pain doctors who will register you for the program but they generally charge generally out of pocket. Feel free to send me a message (can you do that on here) I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the process

@A MyFibroTeam Member yes I have made an appointment with a pain specialist that came highly recommended for january. He apparently specializes in hard to treat pain disorders and likes alternative and holistic medicine as well as general treatment.

Here in KY its not legal, but that didn't stop one of my docs that "Indirectly" recommended it. I've tried it a small bit and it does help some. Can't say more than that right now. If it become legal here, I will definitely try it for pain relieft.
