CBD Oil

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Ashland, KY

I was wondering if anyone took CBD oil with their HIV medications. I would be using it to help treat my neuropathy, medications that are prescribed are not working. Currently, Genvoya is the medication prescribed for my HIV infection.

Ugh...Genkilya, CBD is great for neuropathy but it’s effects don’t last long and it’s like you progress to using it more and more. I use Turmeric, high enough dose works wonders for me.

I describe it like this....think of your body as a pinball machine, the pain as the ball, and some teenager jacked up on energy drinks as the driver. Lightning in a bottle also fits the bill in my case💫

Absolutely Calvin the neuropathy is just bad at times. You can't really explain to other people what your feeling. They ask what does it feel like. I tell them like burning sand or sticking your foot in a wall socket. I've heard Amytryipline works but it is an older tricyclic drug with weight gaining properties that I don't want. I used to take Limbretrol which is Amytryipline and Librium mixed in one pill. It did help.

Well I'm also on BIKTARVY I was on Genvoya prior to Genvoya I was and have been smoking weed. My doctors know I smoke but they can't give me the (green card) marijuana card because it's a teaching hospital so anyways I'm doing great wise been undetectable so I feel marijuana is my gateway drug . If it wasn't for marijuana I wouldn't be cigarette free
