Members shared overwhelmingly positive experiences using CBD and cannabis products to manage RA symptoms, with many describing significant relief from pain, migraines, nausea, and inflammation. Several members recommended starting with higher concentrations of CBD oil taken under the tongue or in edibles, with some finding that CBD-THC combinations worked better than CBD alone, while others used topical rubs, bath products, vaping, or nighttime edibles to achieve deeper sleep and reduce flare intensity. A recurring theme was the wish that medical marijuana were more widely accessible, as many members credited it as a valuable part of their treatment plan for managing chronic pain, stress, and insomnia without relying solely on traditional medications.

I use cbd oil as part of my treatment plan i feel it works somewhat but find the cbd/thc oil mixed is much more suitable. The more concentrated the better as some oils are not strong enough and i end up using much more. I cook with it or invest it directly under the tongue and it does give relief rather quick. It has helped me many times during bad flares an stopped my migraine that was caused by inflammation in my cervical spine within an hour, stopping my vomiting and helped me relax. Our bodies have cbd receptors thus we were designed to consume this plant. I would highly recommend it to be tried as oils or edibles for Ra, migraines, nausea, insomnia, stress and so much more. It has definitely helped me.

I have been using medical marijuana for about two years. I wish that I had done it sooner. I use edibles. Specifically the Yi-lo drinks. I use it primarily at bedtime. I take about 30-40mg and that allows me to have deeper rest. I still wake up from pain periodically, but nothing like I used to. If I am in a flare I will use it during the day. I don't feel comfortable driving or being out if I take it during the day. I also use some topical blends that you rub into the skin. I use that along with Pennsaid and Lidoderm patches.

I tried CBD oils. Didn't really notice any improvement. Waiting for Oklahoma to have medical @marijuana! I know that helps!

I recently talked to a friend who uses CBD capsules. I may try this. I was vaping & didn't use it often.
