Supposedly a lovely morning/daytime working & focus mix. Yeah, no. \n\nNow my skin feels numb. If I pinch myself, I can't feel it. So weird! I've had the same feeling happen on occasion with alcohol, or with triptans (migraine medication). But never on this scale.\n\nSo weird. \nHard to type with numb fingers. \n\"\n_____________________\nIt is possible that a 5mg serving is a high dose for you and that your extremities might have felt a little different - but to go completely numb is a bit of a strange occurrence. \n\nIt is possible that you might be having an allergic reaction. \n\nI would recommend speaking to a doctor about this sensation as the feeling of numbness can be attributed to other conditions such as poor blood circulation for example.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9925-markdown","title":"Is there any information about using CBD for NDPH (New Daily Persistent Headache)?","slug":"is-there-any-information-about-using-cbd-for-ndph-new-daily-persistent-headache","content":"\"NDPH is a severe chronic (daily) headache condition that has shown to be very intractable to treatments. Its properties are distinctly different than migraine headaches. \"\n_____________________\nActually, I love the way Western medicine will make up a new diagnosis for an old problem. Any timeI'm having a headache every day I have to question how long my poisoning myself. Most people don't realize that additives have been added to our foods and can trigger daily headaches, anxiety and go on to other brain diseases later in life if the trigger is not found and eliminated.\nConsider eliminating all free glutamate's from your diet since they are neurologically toxic especially to people who have migraines or anxiety issues.\nConsider visiting www.truthinlabeling.org for more information.  \nIt is wise to protect your brain and neurological function with CBD while you are searching for the headache trigger. Maybe you are not drinking enough water and inadequate hydration is responsible for many headaches. \nPeople try eating Gluten-free and then get some relief but please look at the following video:\nwww.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4SD5f2toQ\nSince I do get headaches frequently I have come to realize I am very chemically sensitive so I do take a high dose of CBDTo protect my brain in her logical function and it has greatly helped to reduce my headaches as well as other health benefits but the real benefit has been eliminating free glutamate from my diet. Glutamate is an amino acidBut it's when we have too many free glutamate's, it is neurologically toxic to the brain and precipitates headaches as well as a slow deterioration of the brain so I think it's wise for everyone to eliminate MSG and free glutamate from their diet and take CBD to protect the brain.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9899-markdown","title":"What type of marijuana oil or tincture can you recommend for chronic migraines?","slug":"what-type-of-marijuana-oil-or-tincture-can-you-recommend-for-chronic-migraines","content":"\"And are their any contraindications with CBD's and antidepressants( celexa)\"\n_____________________\nI suffer with migraines also so I feel I can speak to this issue with a medical educational background as well as personal experience.\nYou must avoid the free glutamates and other foods that cause migraines so please, search migraines in our chat room and a lot of information will come up for you.

The other effective medication is ACDC in a vape pen but since it is a high CBD, it must be vaporized at lower temperature so you must have an adjustable vape pen or you destroy the benefits of the CBD. \nI find that taking CBD regularly as a tincture helps me greatly in both frequency and severity of the migraines but avoidance of the triggers is the real way to prevent migraines. \nYou must also stay hydrated and use the cannabis salve, I like the 2:1, CBD: THC, on the back of your neck to stop the muscle spasms so the migraine can resolve.\nThere are some interesting findings that suggests CBD does protect your brain from the chemicals that cause the migraines but of course more studies need to be done.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9835-markdown","title":"I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Barret's Esophagus, Pot's (heart condition), Reynaud's, severe migraines, ","slug":"i-have-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-barrets-esophagus-pots-heart-condition-reynauds-severe-migraines","content":"\"I have so much more that goes along with this condition and I have been told that there is NOTHING that can be done to help, treat, or given to me to ease my pain.

They are now interfering with my work and personal life.  My husband and children are surprised when I don't have a headache.  I either take a ton of Ibuprofen or Zomig (a really expensive triptan), but they don't always work.  I'm pretty sure my kidneys are going to fail me one day.  I've read about CBD oil and how it can help, but I live in NC and there is no information about it here.  I don't want the THC, and I don't need it to feel high.  I just want to feel normal and live without pain.  Can anyone give me information on where I can get CBD and the best way to take it?  I'll travel if I have to.  Thanks so much for any help.\"\n_____________________\nCBD Oil was just classified (WRONGFULLY) as a schedule 1 drug by the DEA. Legally speaking, you aren't going to have a lot of options for CBD Oil in your state. You may be able to locate medicines that are based on something called CBD isolate, which is a crystalized form of CBD derived from only the stalks and roots of the industrial hemp plants, rather than the potent buds of CBD rich cannabis strains... it is not made from medicinal grade cannabis at all (rather, industrial grade), and I do not consider it very effective at all. They've stripped everything that's medicinally beneficial from the plant, and the heavy processing needed, renders it pretty ineffective, in my honest opinion. If you want to risk it, I know there are PLENTY of sellers on eBay selling CBD products. You can always try there.\n\nheatherlynn","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9573-markdown","title":"What products are good for migraine relief?","slug":"what-products-are-good-for-migraine-relief","content":"\n_____________________\nThis is a complicated problem to solve. Fortunately for migraine sufferers, cannabis has show itself to be very effective in both preventing migraines from coming on, and easing the pain when they do come on. As with most cannabis applications, you will need to experience with different product options and combinations until you find what works best for you.\n\nHere is a good place to start looking for potential solutions: https://www.hellomd.com/learn/migraines\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7555-markdown","title":"Arthritis and migraines","slug":"arthritis-and-migraines","content":"\"CBD (indica and sativa) tinctures  have not worked at all for arthritis. How much is too much tincture? I'm new to this so need a lot of educating but so far I'm not very impressed. Don't want to smoke. One topical helps but smells like weed so can't go out with it on. Kiva 60/60 chocolate helps with sleep. Am I missing something ?\"\n_____________________\nHi, I would ask are you using primarily all CBD and how often are you dosing and for how long? Most CBD tinctures are usually displayed with a ratio of CBD:THC so you may have a 20:1 which would be 20 parts CBD to 1 part THC. CBD does help with inflammation but in my experience, a CBD tincture does not help immediately with pain, it is something that when taken over a longer period of pain may help calm general inflammation and discomfort.\n\nI don't have arthritis but I have intense migraines. I found that when I started taking CBD tinctures it took about 2-3 months before i noticed a real decrease in my pain until finally I don't get them at all anymore. That said, everyone is different. I find a tincture with high CBD 20:1 followed by a tincture with 4:1 later in the day is what works best for me. \n\nTopicals vary and many yes, do smell terrible or can be greasy. Topicals are great because they provide localized relief and do not enter the blood stream. Two topicals I love are SweetReLeaf and FlowerPower. \n\nAnother thing you might consider is microdosing during the day very small amounts of THC in 1-2 mg which can help with pain and relax the body while you are still able to function mentally. Satori Chocolates now has a great product. I will include links below.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-soothes-arthritis-pain\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/microdosing-the-big-new-trend\n\nI hope this helps!

","slug":"whats-a-good-tincture-regimine-for-migraine-prevention","content":"\"I have near daily migraine with aura. My migraines are \"silent\", without headache but cause single sided neurological issues, nausea, jaw pain, numbness and tingling as well as a host of other odd neuro sensations. I'm looking for a way to prevent my migraines or reduce the frequency.\"\n_____________________\nCannabis treats the symptoms of migraines, it is not a cure. \nCannabis salve applied to the neck will typically stop migraines from immediately reoccurring as in the case of cluster migraines.\nIn order to prevent migraines it seems likely it is a combination of regular intake of CBD Cannabis as well as eliminating all the offending food substances and chemicals from your environment. You may want to do a search for the articles on our website, in the chat room, regarding migraines. Free glutamate's are neurologically toxic (this is not gluten), cigarette smoke, perfumes and many environmental chemicals are toxic to migraine sufferers as well as simple items like Parmesan, an aged cheese you might have on a pizza.\nCannabis tincture works because there is some evidence that CBD protects the brain from neurotoxins and the damage they cause.\nConsider doing high CBD tincture, 2 to 3 doses per day and I believe you will notice a difference in about a month with the reduction of the severity and frequency of your migraines but you must eliminate the exposure to Neurotoxins. Once your migraines are under control you may reduce your CBD intake to see what the minimum doses that will still control your migraines but please don't add in the neurotoxins.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nI have constant migraines.
