Endocannabinoid System - Cannabis and Lymes

Hi guys, good input to share, thanks!

My brain is off sorry for any confusion on grams vs ounces.

Interesting feedback. Yes, it is not for everyone. But you can smoke, eat, lotions , and put simply oil under your tongue. It comes in many forms, tablet for even for example.

Brain alertness - THC helps a great deal. I have neuro stuff and every time I smoke my brain clears.

$$$ - yes it can add up. I do smoke a good deal, a couple of grams per day. I buy in larger amount to save $$$. But if it helps me which it seems to be and look at it as a medicine, which it is, the price is really not too bad.

Appreciate the input!!!

All the best!

Dogsblood - yes not good to flare up. I havent experienced a flare from it. Interesting, I will see what I can find out about it.

Hi Randy, yes i am digging into all aspects of cannabis as I can, I am bit slow right now. go browse the web for medical cannabis. Lots of work and research in process, good findings are be documented.

Today I am either a herx or a flair or both, its a bad day. Major Panic attacks today when I woke up, noise, light everything is to much. So I smoke a bit and it helps calm be down. Its a lot safer and natural remedy then taking a anxiety pill. The "high" is gone though, interesting stuff. Plus it help clean my lungs out when detoxing, I cough out the junk.

Hope your are getting pieces in place, it is a puzzle, keep asking questions, love questions, all the moderators love questions. Always something new to learn.

All the best...Scubaboy

I've been doing CBD oil for about a week now and am very happy with the results. No major "wow" moments but more like "oh, my feet don't hurt this morning, that's new" kind of thing. My pain is reduced, I have much better stamina, am sleeping better, nausea is gone and in general have a much better feeling of well being. Last week was a really rough week for multiple reasons and several days I took an extra dose or two and it helped me quite a bit. CBD that I take is only .03% THC which is good for me - I don't have any intention of getting high. I experience no ill effects at all. I can't believe I made it through last week without crashing big time and I'm chalking it up to the CBD completely. There is no other explanation. I just almost, well, I'm scared to say it, but almost feel like a normal person right now. I believe I found and tried this at just the right time in my illness and am wanting to see it through for a full month before I'm a true believer, but right now, things are looking very possible. I was so excited when I ordered my product - I kept saying to myself, "This is going to HEAL me" not just make me feel better but actually heal my broken body. I said a prayer over the product before I started using it and am very hopeful that in 3 weeks I will be living up to the mantra I said over and over to myself.

We all have different things going on in our bodies, but I've got to say, if you're reading this and wondering about it, try it. Just try it with an open mind and see what happens. Order a really good quality product that is cleanly grown and processed - this is not a good time to pinch pennies. You may be paying for your health, you know?

I wish you all the best in your healing journey,

Jenny

Thanks Girle,

Yes, I think that the timing was right for this. I've been static for about 5-6 months and except for having terrible, extreme pain for about 3 weeks in July (don't know what that was all about) I've been holding steady - not getting better, not getting worse. I needed something to kick it up a notch. I'm out of money to pay my ND and have been researching CBD for a bit. A chain of events brought me the product I'm using and so far so good! The product costs me about the same, if not slightly less, than my monthly supplements, which I will be backing off of except for a few. Maybe give it a try again when you feel the time is right. I saw something about chronic stress (like Lyme) "wearing out" your ecocannibinoid receptors (my words, not theirs) and was wondering if maybe that is why some people don't have success sometimes?

Wow, awesome feedback thank you!!!!

Jenny - glad that it is working for you, feel free to email or ask questions, I will share what I know/understand. And please continue to share your results.

Randy - you are in a wonderful place to be if you can access that much cannabis and try things different ways. We are trying different ways to consume CBD, THC and the entire plant, you can try to do your own RSO, directions are available from Rich Simpson himself (big deal if you know this guy). I really look forward to your feedback, thank you for sharing. Its exciting for me to hear patients trying different ways with Cannabis. Please update us how it goes.
