My friend imports CBD oil from Colorado and mixes it with peppermint and sells it people with a range of illnesses from MS to Parkinson's and ME. He tells me that everyone who uses the oil he makes up is reporting an improvement in their symptoms. I ...  have found the CBD oil 17% strength has helped reduce my use of opiod drugs and helps provide better quality sleep which is major issue for me.

Cannabis in any form is excellent at dampening down nerve pain.

Greatest impact is in mood, it just helps you more pleasantly survive whatever horrible symptom your body is throwing at you on a given day. It is a literal life saver for me.

With...  vape cartridges you can use them so discretely (no smell, looks like a vape for nicotine...) that you can use it when needed if you are out in the world.

CBD cream was not helpful at all. Ingesting CBD oil in capsules at night was mildly sedating. When it is processed through your liver, it has different effects.

I also us it for nausea, which happens several times a week.
I also use Vienna Skunk 12.9 THC 15.4 CBD
I use the Lemon G if needed during the day and the Vienna Skunk if needed at night.
I can't always get the strains I want so I ask for 1:1 ratios
It ...  works really well for nausea, Ok for pain about like ultram. Helps with really strong pain but not as well as opiates. Good for sleep.

I have found that Nake Vape Full Spectrum Cannabis Oil (Indica, High THC) is by far the best product for nerve pain relief.

I take 1ml of tilray 10/10 at night. This has improved my quality of sleep considerably. I also take medleaf CBD in the morning (15 drops). I don't think this is having an effect on my pain or PEM at this stage. It is a working progress and will update ...  if I notice any changes.

The most interesting observation is that in high doses (with significant psychotropic effect) I can exercise (eg last weekend I went on a walk of 5 hours) without PEM. By way of comparison a 10 min yoga routine can often trigger significant PEM.

Smoking/vaping or gummies all work for me.

I was vaping twice a week trying to get a buzz when I realized my nails weren't breaking anymore. I started using a gummy with more CBD than THC before and after any exertion and found my PEM symptoms drastically reduced if not eliminated. I also have ...  found a gummy or vaping or smoking a couple hours before bedtime really helps with keeping me asleep. Huge improvement, and products with just THC work as well as products with CBD and THC. Didn't think just CBD did the trick.
