I saw a 91yo woman last week for her first follow up 3 weeks after her initial #cannabis consult for neck and shoulder pain. Her initial goal was to be able to get back to her Silver Sneakers exercise program, which she has been unable to do because of pain, despite taking max-dose Tylenol 4x daily.
I usually start people in this situation on cannabis drops, but she has essential tremor and her hands are too unsteady to use the dropper. So I tried our new product, Healer Respite, a hemp-derived gummy. Stage 1 has THC 2mg + CBD 8mg morning and mid-day, and THC 2.5mg + CBG 5mg at night. We designed them with people who have dementia (and their caregivers) in mind, but they're broadly applicable. The gummies are in blister packs and easy to dispense and count, and can be shipped directly to almost every state in the US. healercbd.com/respite
She reported 50% decrease in pain, had no side effects, and had completely stopped Tylenol. She was very pleased!
Since she hadn't reached her goal of reducing pain enough to get back to exercise, and no adverse effects, I decided to increase her to stage 2, which includes THC 5mg + CBD 5mg in the day and THC 5mg + CBG 10mg at night. And I gave her an osteopathic treatment, started to restore respiratory motion in some of the stiff tissues in her neck and low back, and recommended she rub our topical CBD/CBDA into her neck a couple times daily. We'll see how she does at her follow up next month. I'm thankful to be a part of Healer.com and the excellent products that make it easy for my patients to get great results with cannabis.
