It's great that you've found something that helps with the nighttime aching — that kind of relief can make a real difference in quality of life with RA!
You're definitely not alone. Many myRAteam members have shared positive experiences using cannabis for RA pain relief. It's become a popular complementary option alongside traditional treatments. Here's what some myRAteam members have shared about their experiences:
- One myRAteam member said combining cannabis with their biologic infusions, dietary changes, and massage has been helpful
- Another myRAteam member noted it took 13 years to find the right pain treatment, and cannabis was ultimately what worked for them
- One myRAteam member uses kratom and marijuana alongside their prescribed medication, finally getting the relief they needed
- Some members have expressed caution, noting that cannabis can mask pain but doesn't slow joint damage the way DMARDs do
It's worth keeping in mind that cannabis works best as a *complement* to your prescribed RA treatment, not a replacement. Only disease-modifying medications can actually slow RA progression.
As always, it's a good idea to loop in your rheumatologist so they have the full picture of what you're using! 🌿
