Marijuana for Sleep and Pain

I am really looking for advice from experienced mj users and your advice and stories of experience. What method works best for you? What strain? What time of day? etc... I just received my 'green card' which was recommended by my MD. More doctors in Oregon are recommending it's use for fm/cfs. I can get information from the dispensary and from legal growers, but I would like yours. Previously my mj use was purely recreational in the 70's (oh how I loved it then). I haven't used it for years as I was the squeeky clean soccer mom for many years. Am now a bored and hurting, empty nested, disabled, 50-something, looking for more relief. This is a whole different animal now.

If you would like to message me instead of making this a public discussion, please do.

Thank you in advance.

PS I do know that different kinds of marijuana are grown for specific types of treatment in the legal marijuana states. I'm interested in what specific strain works for you. Also, my doctor tells me that there is a mj cream (made by very few growers) that you apply to your temples at bedtime. Used for sleep mj helps with sleep cycles and offers more restful sleep.

hi . first to say that with any treatment i believe we all have different experiences. For me, the pain i experience was only amplified and so was my appetite. So not a good thing for me. plus it is not legal in my state.i hope it helps you very much. love , suzie good luck

Thanks suzie. You are such a sweetie.

It sure doesn't sound like it was a good experience for you. Glad you found out in a way that was not too harmful to you. Increased pain is not what we are looking for.

Hugs,
