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 pain left me, after 33 hours and after I had taken three times the usual painkillers (relpax 40 mg and at the same time depon 1000 mg) I use. \nThe doctor that advises me told me that this was a random incident and advised me to start again altering the dosage to 3 drops (1+1+1) cannabis oil 10% in CBD. After 5 days of treatment, at the middle of a migraine crisis, when I took the drop of oil and within an hour the pain reached the sky. I do not ever remember myself having such an intense migraine.   \nI did not know where I was and could not communicate. I was hospitalized. Pain stopped after 24 hours.\nI suspect the dosage is already too high for me.  \nPlease let me know your opinion. I believe cannabis can help me. Am I wrong? \nThank you in advance. \nDora\"\n_____________________\nHi Dora, \nTo your question as to whether cannabis can help with migraines: Yes, I think it can. 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. My normal weight is 127, I currently weigh 90 pounds and cannabis is all that helps me. What can I do? I was on Cymbalta 120mg, MegestrolAcetate 40 mg- 4 teaspoons a day, Gabapentin 600mg 3 times a day, Oxycodone 20mg every 6 hours and Metoprol 12.5 mg-twice a day.

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_8576-markdown","title":"what is the percentage of THC in this tincture?

","slug":"what-is-the-best-type-of-cannabis-for-multiple-sclerosis-patients","content":"\" I need something that helps with pain, relaxation, appetite, and sleep. \"\n_____________________\nHi there,\n\nThere have been many promising studies done with Sativex, a 1:1 THC:CBD mouth spray, in MS patients that relate specifically to pain and spasticity. Here are some studies where it was used: \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22509985\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21456949\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26764336\n\nBased on these studies, finding a product with a 1:1 ratio may be good place to start. You can adjust dosings and ratios as you see fit. The general rule is always \"start low and go slow.\" Product-wise it would probably be easiest to find 1:1 ratios in tincture form, although there are some strains out there like Cannatonic and Canna-Tsu that usually have something close to a 1:1.\n\nI'd also encourage you to look for a 1:1 product that is full specturm to get the added benefits of terpenes. \n\nBest of luck! \n\nDanielle Lim \n_____________________\nHi!  Here is a post from my blog where I list some of my favorite strains for my MS pain.  In a more recent post I talk about the fact that I have learned that it is about which terpenes are IN the strains that I select.  \nhttp://www.bbhwithms.com/multiple-sclerosis-cannabis-list-top-strains-pain/\n\nbbhwithms","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8562-markdown","title":"Is this derived from organic cannabis?","slug":"is-this-derived-from-organic-cannabis","content":"\"geisha92103@yahoo.com\n\"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8561-markdown","title":"Looking for cannabis (not just CBDs) that induces sleep, but NOT anxiety","slug":"looking-for-cannabis-not-just-cbds-that-induces-sleep-but-not-anxiety","content":"\"I am suffering from severe insomnia and looking to use cannabis to sleep, and taper off the pharmas.

Thank you!\"\n_____________________\nHi, I tried the cbd’s for chronic insomnia, had to go to something  stronger, I found you need to stay away from sativa strains, some hybrids ( which has is a crossbreed;  the sativas and some hybrids can cause anxiety)but use any indica strain to help with sleep. Research some of the different types within the indica strains and you’ll be able to see if one makes you sleepy or relaxed, there’s a huge field to choose from, educate yourself\nabout the different types and that way someone doesn’t sell you something you don’t need! \n\nlbmenehune83\n_____________________\nSomething to remember is that there is a difference in being able to go to sleep and to stay asleep. They each can use different types of cannnabis. For difficulties going to sleep a tincture or a vape pen will have a faster affect and allow you to fall asleep. If you have no issue falling asleep but then wake up several hours later, then an edible may be the way to go. This is because an edible can take 1-2 hours to kick in and will last several hours. The effect also depends on what you have eaten for dinner and how long  you take it before going to bed.\nI also suggest keeping a sleep journal where you keep track of what you ate (briefly), what type of cannabis you used, how you slept and what you felt like in the morning. You can titrate what you used to the effect that you want.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nMy favorite \"sleepy time\" strains include Bubba Kush, Zensation, Grape Ape and 9 LB Hammer.  It was definately \"trial and error\" to find ones that work well, but they have been a game changer for me.

Many patients have successfully used cannabis to treat symptoms of ADD and ADHD. Keep in mind that this effect is strain and dose specific. Some strains will increase concentration and focus while others strains will interrupt concentration and focus. Sour Diesel is a popular strain used to focus but there are many others available. It is best to keep the dosing low, to about a few milligrams. Marijuana affects everyone differently so strain, dosage and route of administration should be discussed with your provider.\n\ngabriella","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8557-markdown","title":"How much CBD and THC is good to help heal breast cancer? ","slug":"how-much-cbd-and-thc-is-good-to-help-heal-breast-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nIf by \"heal\" you mean \"cure\" breast cancer, the answer in none. Cannabis has never been shown to cure cancer in humans. It has been shown to kill some type of cancer cells in a laboratory. There have been stories by many people saying that they have been \"cured\" of various types of cancers using some type of cannabis oil or product. What cannabis has been shown to do is help with nausea from chemotherapy treatements and well as increasing appetite. That being said, there is most likely no harm in using cannabis along with whatever treatment your physician recommends. I would suggest telling then that you are using it as well.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nAlthough there are no large, controlled, scientific studies to show that cannabis heals cancer (and I doubt there ever will be), many people claimed to been healed using cannabis.  Most likely, they also did other things like correct their diet, supplements, maybe ozone therapy, etc.  Research \"Rick Simptom Oil\", it's a potent cannabis oil, and doses that people state have healed their cancer is explained on various sites, such as this:  http://phoenixtears.ca/dosage-information/   The instructions can be confusing, such as comparing doses to the size of a grain of short rice, but this is what I would use if I had cancer.  My dog has cancer right now, so I've been researching all of this. \n\ncheryldell\n_____________________\nThe HelloMD answer, from Dr. Solomon, is meant to legally protect the website from Federal authorities.
