CBD oil

I came across this very interesting article about using CBD oil for pain. I have arthritis in my hands and feet, and am taking Letrozole, which gives me menopause symptoms, following surgery for breast cancer. I asked my McMillan nurse about CBD oil and she simply didn't know. The consultant who treats my arthritis said it was ok to take for pain relief, but that was before I was diagnosed with cancer. I still don't have an answer, but am tempted to try it out.

    I suffer from Fibromyalgia and I thought I'd try some CBD oil for the pain.  The results have been disappointing to say the least.  No improvement in pain symptoms and the oil itself seems to be giving me mouth ulcers.  Looks like I wasted my money.  

    This is not some magic cure.

    Thanks for your response. I'm sorry you've had a disappointing experience. I never considered CBD oil to be a "magic cure", I simply wondered if it might provide some relief. Good luck.

    Hi amq I've been taking cbd for over a year now it certainly helps with arthritis in my knee. If i don't take it i can tell. I don't take much because I'm causes it might react with my cancer treatment, ok so far. If you try it and see and it works let people know. Good luck and best wishes,....... Billy
