I used CBd for awhile, the tropicals worked best for me. THC gave me pronounced anxiety so I removed the THC/CBD with higher THC counts. It really helps when it gets bad. But I haven't had to use it with my daily prednisone. That stuff works wonders for me.
Always tell your doc. OTC meds, supplements etc. can sometimes interact with your RA medications in a negative way.
