My good wife has arthritis in her hands, knees, hips, everywhere. When diagnosed by a multitude of doctors, their only solution was Naproxin, prednisone, and methotrexate. I'll leave you to Google those drugs, but we soon learned of the side effects. So we turned to cannabis.
With amazing results!
We smoked some weed we purchased at a local dispensary, and the impact was almost immediate. The pain in her hands started to recede right away.
Then in further reading here, and on other websites, we read about CBD capsules.
We work with the public once in a while and it would not be appropriate for us to use the vaporizer, so we thought CBD caps would be an ideal way for her to get some into her system, without the odour of the vaporizer.
And it worked!
However, the last two times she tried some 10 mg caps, both times she got the pain relief, but also got sick. Nausea, diarrhoea, a complete GI impact.
So, is it the CBD caps? Are they polluted with some other substances that make her sick? I don't know. We used the same CBD caps, from the same batch both times. We have had no adverse reactions to some other CBD caps she used, and, as far as we can tell, the caps we did use was the only common factor both times.
She wants to test one more cap to see if she can clearly isolate them as a source of the problem. I'm reluctant for her to do that, just in case whatever is in the caps is too harmful. She did make a full recovery from both previous episodes, but who knows what may happen if she tries it again with the same CBD caps? At age 75, her immune system is not as robust as it once was.
We have 8 caps left and I'm almost inclined to flush them, with no further testing. I think they only cost me $2.00 each, so its no big loss. I suspect lab testing would be too expensive, and may start a whole bureaucracy happening, so I'm not gonna do that.
What do you folks think?
