Fibromyalgia (FM) is set of disorders that cause aches and pains, that are especially tender to touch or external pressure. Fibromyalgia affects 2-4% of the population, predominantly females. Fibromyalgia is sometimes linked with psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety, and post traumatic stress syndrome.
It is now well established that Cannabinoids, components of Medical Marijuana, are effective for many patients in the treatment of pain, gastrointestinal disorders, psychological issues such as anxiety, depression and other neurological disorders.

Certainly, there is a serious irregularity of the nervous system that affects sufferers mentally and physically. Fortunately, Cannabinoids, components of Medical Marijuana, offer relief and are known to improve / normalize metabolic activity that affects the nervous system..

In other words, Medical Cannabis can afford relief in most , if not all Fibromyalgia symptoms in the majority of individuals. There is mounting evidence that a non-psychoactive Cannabinoid called CBD, reduces Fibromyalgia symptoms as well, providing relief for those that do not like a "pot head" effect.

In comparison to most pharmaceutical formulations, side effects of Medical Cannabis are generally much fewer and less severe, by a wide margin. Fibromyalgia patients surveyed overwhelmingly agree and greatly prefer Medical Marijuana over Pharmaceuticals currently in use.
