He says it's just his left side, and it feels like burning pins and needles. He did see the doctor, and the doctor said he has nerve damage similar to neuropathy, but aren't sure what the cause is. They suggested he try cannabis! He has tried the Lord Jones High CBD lotion but has not gotten relief. \n\nWe are wondering if maybe a tincture will help? What dosage might be beneficial for him? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!\"\n_____________________\nHi there! I'm sorry to hear your relative is struggling with this uncomfortable condition. Happily, cannabis does provide relief for many people with this issue. Please check out these search results on the topic which should provide plenty of information for you:\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nApplying cannabis to the skin will not provide significant absorption beyond a very local area so I would definitely try a tincture or similar preparation.  When tinctures or lozenges are held in the mouth effects may be noticeable within 10 minutes; when cannabis is swallowed it may take up to an hour for effects.  Starting with a CBD:THC ratio of 20:1 and varying the amount taken and the cannabinoid ratio (moving toward 1:1) may yield a preparation helpful in reducing the discomfort.  Most patients find this kind of cautious experimentation useful for finding the best relief of their symptoms.  \n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\nI agree with Dr. Elkind that a tincture containing both CBD and THC (for the entourage effect) would be a good choice.  I also agree that for some patients, a traditional cream/emollient/oil may only have limited penetration into the skin. However, I might suggest another alternative.  Companies like OMremedies.com & MakingYouBetterBrand.com have cannabis infused epsom salts (epsom salts being composed of magnesium salt which is important for nerve conduction). If you put a very small/fractional dose in warm (not steaming hot) water and see if the extremities can tolerate a dunk/bath for a short duration, this may be useful. In my experience a good deal of the limited medical literature concerning cannabinoids and neuropathic pain seem to use THC in the experiments (however an admixture of THC and CBD should also do well). I hope this helps please let us know what happens!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8890-markdown","title":"How do I print a copy of my recommendation from the Doctor?","slug":"how-do-i-print-a-copy-of-my-recommendation-from-the-doctor","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!

CBD on its' own, for most fibromyalgia patients, does not provide adequate relief. THC is also a vital component when treating the mood symptoms related to fibromyalgia. \n\nAccordingly, I recommend neither pure CBD, nor even lowTHC containing products. Microdosing a low dose of sativa would be an effective dosing protocol for most. Naturally, please trial in a safe environment and avoid operating heavy machinery such as an automobile. Please consult a qualified cannabis physician before starting any cannabis protocol. \n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nI agree with Dr. Kim that CBD + THC is likely to be more helpful than CBD alone.  Many patients do some cautious experimenting with different CBD:THC ratios, easily available in vape pens, until they find what works best for them.  Remember that you are working with two variables: the CBD:THC ratio and the dose (amount) you are taking). \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8581-markdown","title":"Help for migraines?","slug":"help-for-migraines","content":"\"  \nHello,\nI suffer from chronic daily migraines; \nI bought cannabis oil 10% in CBD. I started  with a single drop per day. The second day at the middle of a migraine crisis, I took a drop  and the intensity of the migraine doubled.

The thing is that every person's biochemistry is unique, so what may work for one person, will not necessarily work for you. The general advice is that you'll need to experiment with dosing, delivery method, strains and so on. \n\n\nlyp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8579-markdown","title":"Can you help me?","slug":"can-you-help-me","content":"\"I am in pain ALL THE TIME; my diagnosis is chronic back/leg pain, (fibromyalga) severe anxiety disorder, sever depression disorder, and wasting.

I would recommend starting at 1:1 THC:CBD low mg (2mg for example), titrating upwards with CBD dominance if needed. THC may exacerbate Anxiety, so I would recommend against titrating towards a THC dominant ratio. Medical marijuana may also serve as an appetite stimulant and help with depression. THC demonstrates analgesic, anti-emetic, and anti-inflammatory properties, whereas CBD possesses anti-psychotic, anti-seizure, and anti-anxiety properties. Even if you don’t have insurance, you can get low-cost or free health at certain health care centers in your area. If you don't have insurance, you may be able to work out a payment plan. You can find a list of federally funded health centers at https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/index.html.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8554-markdown","title":"Can cannabis oil help with dental issues?","slug":"can-cannabis-oil-help-with-dental-issues","content":"\"I was recently diagnosed with bone loss issues.

This will consist of a standard set of labs, bione density testing, and a nutritional evaluation.
