I recently had a scan which suggests I likely have seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. I have had back problems for 20 years, but now severe pain in both hands. There are a few neurological conditions that run in the family, including RA. My GP has said that it is likely, but still needs to be confirmed by a specialist. Should know next month.
I have been using cannabis for the back pain which has been beneficial, but no miracle cure. Nearly all the varieties I have are moderate to high THC, but little CBD, and these varieties seem to have little effect on my hand pain. I am on anti inflamatries which help to an extent but hate taking them.
So I am wondering if I should try CBD? Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I use CBD alone, or ratios of CBD and THC.
I am also wondering how I can avoid some of the RA treatments, all of which seem to have horrific side effects.
I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with this. Also any alternative therapies or supplements that may help?
