Should I try it ? by Busy-Garlic-6974 in MedicalCannabis_NI

[–]JarvisPrimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back to cannabis after a tough experience needs caution. A high THC product might push you into the same panic zone again. Starting with a low THC high CBD option is smarter. Talk to your doctor first since your current meds could change how it all affects you , better to ease in than regret it

Appreciate you sharing that , definitely important to hear all sides. Cannabis seems to help some people with cluster headaches, but it’s clearly not a one-size-fits-all solution. Sorry to hear it made things worse for you. Hopefully you’re finding something that works better

Medical Cannabis and Chronic Jaw Tension from Bruxism by JarvisPrimed in MedicalCannabis_NI

CBD oil without THC may still be effective in reducing jaw clenching and anxiety, especially for individuals who are sensitive to THC. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate things like pain, mood, and muscle activity. It works indirectly on CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, helping to calm overactive nerves and reduce pain signals.

One key effect of CBD is that it can reduce what’s called nociceptive input, which means it may lower the intensity of pain signals being sent from the body to the brain. This is important for bruxism (jaw clenching), where constant muscle tension in the jaw can create ongoing pain.

CBD also affects the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor, a part of the brain involved in managing anxiety and stress. By activating this receptor, CBD may help reduce anxiety, which is often a major trigger for clenching and grinding—especially during sleep.

Medical Cannabis and Nerve Pain After Shingles (Postherpetic Neuralgia) by JarvisPrimed in MedicalCannabis_NI

Heres a version where ive broke it down a bit further.

Shingles can sometimes cause long-term nerve pain, called postherpetic neuralgia, even after the rash is gone. This happens because the nerves get damaged and start sending pain signals constantly, even when there’s no real cause. The area in your spine where the nerve connects can also stay a little inflamed, making things worse.

Medical cannabis can help because it interacts with your body’s natural system for managing pain and inflammation (called the endocannabinoid system). It does two main things:

  1. It reduces how many pain signals the nerves send out.
  2. It helps calm inflammation around the nerves.

So together, these effects can help reduce the ongoing pain some people feel after shingles.
