    my mom suffers from fibromyalgia and the pain is overwhelming her lately. Does anyone know if marijuana is helpful with fibromyalgia? I'm trying to find some studies or something to show her. She is very close-minded, but if this will help for her pain, she might give it a try.

    I remember reading something about weed helping with fibro, but I can't find anything about it right now online.

    if she is in pain, I would guess that smoking pot would help ease the pain regardless of the actual illness

    My mom also suffers from Fibro, and I found these articles very helpful, thanks. This is from one of those links, I find it amusing:

    "Five of the nine participants terminated the study before reaching the maximum dose of 15 mg due to severe side effects, primarily sedation, dizziness, fatigue or continuous tiredness."

    Aren't those expected "side effects"?
