      Acupuncture, iv therapy, cbd for pain, the ultimate cure would be a bone marrow transplant

        @Chrissy_88 never tried acupuncture, might have to try that. Do you feel the cbd helps more than pain medication for you if you don't mind me asking?

          @melanatedvirgo I’m sorry I’m just seeing your question! With cbd I was able to almost wean myself off of morphine completely. I only stopped cbd because I got pregnant.

      I don't think there is any current for it but there are lots of medications that can help

        @NAEEE I'm on a fee medications, just wondering if there is anything new. I'm doing better than in the past, so I'm not as versed as I used to be on what's available.
