You managed to get off Fentanyl? God bless you!
After getting over the withdrawal from the fentanyl, I tried going as long as I could stand it without taking a pain pill, but that did not work.
Oops, no, you didn't stay off:
Until I can find something to help curb the pain, I do not think I will be able to stop taking them.
I'm sorry for all this chronic pain - a lifetime of hard work in a fishing boat - our bones wear out. All the cartilege between the joints also wears out.
#CBG
I was just reading about Delta 8 and 9, after Eric @ericvancewalton wrote in a reply to @owasco's post on chickens, My Mom has had great luck with THC for sleep, anxiety and arthritis.
CBG, or cannabigerol, shows promise for pain relief by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, potentially reducing pain signals without the psychoactive effects associated with THC.
Praying you find some pain relief!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your chronic pain @myjob! I'll share some of what I've learned researching for my Mom's arthritis and neuropathy. CBD oil and Delta 9 gummies work amazingly well for pain. The Delta 9 (5-10mg of the Indica strain) can be used at night before bed and the CBD oil or Delta 9 (5mg Sativa strain) during the day (Cycling Frog is one of my favorites).
I also was turned on to an amazing homeopathic remedy for my own rotator cuff injury— it's Young Living's Deep Relief. This stuff was a Godsend for me while my shoulders were healing.
Also, we learned researching for my Mom's conditions that it helps TREMENDOUSLY to get on an anti-inflammatory diet. Sugar is the biggest culprit and seed oils. Anything in the diet that causes inflammation makes chronic pain a whole lot worse.
Thank you for this information. I will look into the CBD oil and Delta 9 gummies, if they do not have THC in them. My doctor said no to anything with it in it.
Did she rub the oil on where she hurt or take it orally?
My Dad would buy a horse liniment from the feed store for his arthritis. I do not recall the name, but I can recall the smell.
You're welcome! The Delta 9 does have THC but the CBD oil doesn't. CVSciences has the best CBD oil we've found. You take this orally and it helps if you hold it under your tongue for a few seconds before you swallow it, it gets into your system a little faster that way. Did your doctor mention why he/she advised against using THC? It's beneficial in so many ways.
The Young Living oil is topical so you just rub that into the joints or areas where you have pain. It works pretty well. It's the only thing that would calm the soreness down at night when I had rotator cuff injuries.
My grandfather used to use all kinds of remedies like that too. I remember a product in a little green tin called bag balm. They used it on the dairy cows but it was great for dry skin in the wintertime.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I hope you find some relief for that pain.
My doctor is against anything marijuana, I even tried hemp edibles, and he said no. He will not give me the pain meds if I eat them. I also had hemp oil and did what you said with it, but my doc said no to it, too.
I remember my aunt had bag balm, get stuff. It was made for putting on cow tits when they got cracked and sore.
That's too bad. The THC provides so many benefits over pharmaceutical pain meds. Yes! I still remember how Bag Balm smelled. We used to use it for dry skin in the wintertime. When we were young we'd be out for hours sledding through the snow and would come in with chapped skin.
The Fentinyl was a patch I wore. I did get off of it. I still take a Percocet pill for the pain. I want to find something else for pain other than pharmaceuticals.
I was taking a THC tincture for sleep, and was eating the edibles to help my appetite, then my doctor drug tested me and said I can not take anything with THC in it.
I bought a bottle of CBG/CBD tincture, and it does not help.
Now I ordered wild lettuce to make tea. I hope it works.
Tea - the final solution! The ultimate cure!
Dandelion, nettle, wild lettuce, chamomile, whatever we can brew - bring it on.
Praying you well! You have worked so hard all your life. God have mercy. God send pain killers or herbal remedies that work...
Thank you for the prayer. The wild lettuce does help with the pain, but gives me a slight headache, and does not last long enough for my liking.
