How CBD oil could help treat chronic pain

How CBD oil could help treat chronic pain

Jo Allen has fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition that has a broad spectrum of related symptoms including fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and reduced physical function. Its nickname is ‘the invisible illness’.

Jo has got some pain relief in recent months from CBD oil, which comes from a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis.

She puts drops of the oil under her tongue three times a day and also uses a vape pen, saying it’s “the only thing that I found that works for my pain, especially my hip pain”.

“I can take that and within about 20 minutes I’ll know whether I’ve got to reach for the morphine-based drug or not and a lot of the time I actually don’t have to go for that which is huge to me.”

“To look after my own son for a day means that I am completely out of action for at least a day. In bed, in agony, having to take all of the CBD I have, all of the morphine derivative medications that I have, anything that I can get my hands on, just to get through a day after looking after my son.”

Folks, Sincerly….try Natures Nutrients CBD!!! It's cold pressed! No chemicals used in the extraction process! No filler or carrier oils added! And it's unfiltered!! It is a full spectrum CBD!! They are on the net you can Google them and the most astonishing thing is it's only $60 for the standard 2 ounce bottle!!!!! You can't beat it for the purity and the cost!!! Listen to my interview!! "Is CBD being suppressed"!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! So many still are under the false pretense that CBD will get you high and is a drug. I am happy there are videos like these to educate the public of the truth of CBD!

I have extreme chronic arthritis pain and three herniated disc's in my back for which I take lots of narcotic pain killers that don't even seem to work, most days I just want to die from the constant pain. I have to work 6 days because I care for my grandchildren so my doctor tells me that it's ok to increase the dose, however, they make me feel terrible. I get really extreme anxiety and my sleep it terribly affected to the point I barely sleep plus with suffering migraines all my life the narcotics affect the serotonin levels in my brain triggering migraines. I have wanted to try CBD but there are so many fake products that I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars only to buy crap. I don't know what to do and can't really find any reliable information on CBD.

Greg Secore says:

I have a rotator cuff that I ripped and had operated on and hurts a lot at night time when I'm sleeping. And anxiety
issues and can't believe how much CBD helps. Check out this site, I found these guys with a little
looking around: cannabok.com, I'd recommend getting higher doses though.The lower Doses seem fine in some cases but
the 1000mgTincture bottles had the most noticeable impact. Still haven't tried the 2000mg one yet.And if you spend
$60 they send you a pack of gum for free and also free shipping how can you go wrong and top shelf CBD.

I too have fibro along with meralgia/ migraines / dupertons in both hands.
Had chronic pain since a car accident 15yrs ago. Numerous horrible meds that never worked apart from making me feel worse and giving me other things like hiatus hernia !
I weaned myself off gaberpentin / pizotofin / amitriptyline and down from 8 cocodomol to now 2 a day and it took 2 years to eliminate all that rubbish from my body. I just received my cbd oil and am so hopeful it has a use in my life as I know there is no doc meds that will help me as tried most…onwards and upwards on a journey or discovery x
