Answer: Migraines are neurological. They are caused by alteration of metabolic activity at the area of the midbrain. The midbrain is considered the “migraine generator.” This alteration of metabolic activity results in a “spreading wave of depression” which travel to the occipital lobe (causing the visual aura), and may travel to the parietal lobe (which results in the symptoms of tingling), and sometimes also the frontal lobe (causing stroke-like symptoms).
Migraines improve on their own, without treatment, but the associated pain during the migraine can be incapacitating. CBD, which works centrally, can help alleviate the discomfort associated with the migraine.
Answer: You have asked me many medical questions. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is often considered the chronic form of Guillain–Barré syndrome. Symptoms include fatigue, general malaise, and peripheral tingling sensations.
Treatment is usually with centrally acting agents including antiepileptics, antidepressants, and opioids. It is one of the most frustrating diseases to treat in the medical community because, so little is known about it.
However, CBD (cannabidiol) is recommended as it does not have any significant interaction with any of the medications you mentioned and as your disease is “central” and CBD works “centrally”, it will help you.

Cannabis is a drug crop with a long history in Africa. Alongside coca and opium poppy, it has been subjected to international control for nearly a century. The International Opium Convention of 1925 institutionalised the international control system and extended the scope of control to cannabis. In 1961 a new international convention was adopted to […]

University of Sydney to Offer Free Cannabis Testing by Johnny Green
The University of Sydney is launching a fairly robust study in an attempt to, as the university describes it, “investigate cannabis consumption, behaviours, and attitudes among users.” Part of the study involves offering free, anonymous cannabis testing for people that cultivate their own cannabis in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Cannabis was decriminalized in 2020 in the […]
