Fibromyalgia & Shrooms?

[Fast Eddie]

A friend of mine told me that shrooms would help fibromyalgia. We have a mutual friend that is suffering with this very bad.  Is there anything to this or is my 1st friend smokin grass?

Anyone out there that suffers from both?

[Bonkers]

If that's true Eddie, it would be amazing! I too have a friend who suffers terribly from it. Anybody know anything about this?

[alleyoop]

I've never run across anything to suggest that shrooms help fibro.  My wife has it bad, so if there is anything to this I would love to know too.

Psychedelics generaly seem to work for many diseases our current pharmaceutical medicine has problem curing.

I would give it a go, after reading that info from Erowid's I would give it a go.

Good luck and keep us updated, I am personally curious what will be outcome for your friend!

In my 20s the day after I tripped I felt like a new man, like my brain reset. Not so much these days but I used to love it. Bigger doses but micro dosing does give you energy and ability to focus.  I would try microdosing 2-3 days a week first. If I saw no change I’d switch to sub recreational doses. Micro 0.2g-0.4g. Sub Rec doses 0.5-1.5G.  Full on psychanaunt dose 3.5-5G...  Never tried or looked into a ketamine infusion but some pain docs say it resets your pain receptors...and could help w depression that usually accompanies FM. MM can have a great effect on mood in my experience. Ketamine oral and nasal as well. Don’t get me wrong I have plenty of bad days. But I’m convinced the only reason I’m not walking around praying to die is because of them.

Me. I use guaifenesin (mucinex) for last 20 yrs to reverse the fms. Eorks exactly as dr st amand describes. Chas? Bit more dicey.

As I have observed the long term effects of psychedelic therapy over the past few years along with the significant amount of research and antidotal reports it would not surprise me psilocybin may help.

 

I would speculate the help comes on two fronts.  1) The classic psychedelics' seem to have neuro regenerative capabilities which hold promise for all sorts of issues like physical trauma and psychic trauma.  There is much to be done in proving this but the data is converging from many different directions which suggests to me it is valid.  2) The classic psychedelics ability to reset the "default neural network" have a profound effect on helping with coping and the emotional baggage physical suffering brings.  Long term conditions like clusters and fibro can at least benefit from this aspect of psychedelic properly utilized.  This is of course, my opinion.
