CBD for chronic pain 

According to Reddit user Victorchu93, CBD helped manage the pain caused by sciatica. As a result of sciatica, which he has been suffering from for over a year, his legs were in a constant numbing, biting, or sharp pain state. This made moving extremely difficult. To try and manage the pain, he began taking Ibuprofen every day but started to worry that it was damaging his liver. The Ibuprofen also began causing painful stomach ulcers. 

Eventually, Victorchu93 decided to stop taking Ibuprofen and give CBD a shot after it was recommended to him by several people. Though at first, he wasn’t fully convinced, he says that he was thrilled that he was proven wrong. While he still feels some pain from sciatica, it is 80% better and much more tolerable.

CBD for mood management

Reddit user coach8a says that he started to experience mood swings—mainly anger and frustration—several years ago. Usually, he would get irritated because of a bad headache. At first, he attributed this to getting older, however, he began to develop ticks like blinking too much, shaking his head, and stuttering. After seeing a doctor, coach8a was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome (TS). They recommended medication, but he refused the medication. As time went on, his moods and ticks became worse, eventually landing him in the ER because of a severe headache that made him unable to move or communicate.

Eventually, after some encouragement from his family, coach8a’s decided to try CBD. After a couple of weeks, the head shakes and blinking stopped, and his stutter became better. After visiting a doctor who reviewed his CT scan and MRI, he was told that there is dark matter around the frontal lobe of his brain. The doctor said that it appeared to be old injuries where there were several dark spots. Coach8a had played football since the age of 8 and had suffered many concussions and head injuries. Once the doctor heard this information, she became concerned. The doctor believed that he may be suffering from CTE. However, since CTE can’t be diagnosed until after death, there is no way to be certain of this. Although the doctor is well versed in head injuries and was open to other treatments beyond traditional medication. Coach8a explained that he has been taking CBD and the doctor was glad to hear this and advised him to keep doing what works. Although there is no cure for CTE, the stutter and ticks have stopped, and his mood has drastically improved and no longer fluctuates violently. According to coach8a, CBD is saving his life.

Conclusion

While these testimonies all boast the healing power of CBD, they remain anecdotal evidence and are not conclusive science-based statements. As such, while recommendations can be incredibly useful and provide treatment options that you may not have considered, it is still vitally important to speak to your doctor. CBD is safe to use, however, if you are taking other medication, it is important to discuss with your doctor to ensure there are no complications or issues with mixing CBD with your medication.
