[QUOTE="davidrn, post: 48028, member: 13164"] Just came back from a vacation with the family to Colorado. WE were with my sons- in laws, and they are libs from NY, and of course suggested visiting a MJ shop. As an RN for over 45 years, and having spent the last 10 years of my career in public health, I have worked on and cared for many serious drug addicts. So I was surprised I agreed when my son bought a CBD salve for me (almost 0% THC) to experiment with on my joints . I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for about a dozen years, and the past year has been miserable as far as pain. So, I experimented the first night with applying salve to my Left sole, bottom of feet pain is fairly common in my disease group. The next morning I actually thought it felt better, so I tried applying to my Right sole, pain improved. I can say though it did not work on my bilat knee pain, that may be more related to a (low) E2 of about 14 pg/ml (15-35), today is the first day since I stopped my AI, 2 weeks ago that the knees stopped killing me. Back to Marijuana, I have read some more,(since getting home this past week) and my reading indicates everyone is different on dosing and percent of CBD and also the need for a small amount of THC. I am seeing my Rheumatologist in a week, I have decided I will request a medical marijuana card, and trial some medical/non recreational topicals. I am as surprised as anyone that I am being open minded about this,( I tried acupuncture last year) but my state has a medical marijuana dispensary within 20 miles. I am not interested in getting high, and am concerned about my concurrent use of LDN also, but the LDN forums seem to suggest no interaction between the 2 drugs. I want to keep my Dopamine receptors at a higher level where they are. I will report back in a few months if MJ is a reasonable natural drug to use with RA. I am kind of pessimistic, but will see if the drug can convince me to continue beyond a month or two. [/QUOTE]
