I microdose 2-3mg of Blue Dream every 3 hours I find the effects of Blue Dream similar to a coctail of Prednisone & Tylenol w/Codine. The anti-inflammatory effects are quite amazing if not better than prednisone, its a sativa so it gives you the energy boost like prednisone, and its pain reducing abilities (10+ mg doses) are strong enough to help a person who just had outpatient surgery. I've had 3 outpatient surgeries since I began using blue dream.
I microdose every 3 hours as a an everyday regimine but I add 5-10mg as needed for accute pain. (3 days consecutively maybe once in 3 months)
It not only helps my physical pain, but the microdosing definately helps with my PTSD and anxiety which havent been symptomatic in 5 weeks. I discontinued taking Zoloft 11 weeks ago.
I'm officially off of all 15 medications and out of a wheelchair.
Blue Dream is my most used strain, though its a sativa, I still sleep well taking it before bed.
Let me just begin by saying due to PTSD, I do not like being intoxicated. I have degenerative disc disease: 16 bulging discs, 11 dessicated discs, 5 torn discs leaking inflamatory protein throughout & wake up with a fever daily. I am a mom of 4 and when it comes to pain limiting..."if I feel like I can, I do". When I feel better I do more without thinking about it. After research I knew I needed high CBD, Maryland is limited in CBD strains available, but I hunted down prerolls & vape cartridges in ACDC which helps me a good amount. I was doing a lot more...we are selling our house and a lot needs done before photographers come. I used a swiffer on my kitchen ceiling, washed the top half of a 18 foot chalkboard wall...couldn't do that before Acdc. I feelt motivated to get things done. ACDC kills pain and gives you more range of motion. I am sad to say I did to much, I broke off a disc. I will have to be really careful not to overdo it and injure myself. I need to remind myself "even though you are feeling less pain, you still need to take it easy because you can reinjure yourself by doing to much".
See my review on Harlequin for accute severe nerve pain relief after I broke off the disc. Hope this helps others.

I over did it reaching for something 4 days ago & broke off a piece of disc and it is touching a nerve. My sterhoid injection is not for 5 more days & I'm in bad shape bed ridden. The slightest movement in my hips makes me scream in pain. ACDC wasn't doing much to help with the intensity. I have been in bed for 4 days, unable to stand from sitting without someone lifting me or rolling onto the floor to my knees and pulling myself to standing with a door frame.
With nothing else to do, I searched cbd strains on leafly and decided to try Harlequin. I called dispensaries starting with the closest to me and hunted down a Harlequin vape cartridge by PRIME.
I had a friend drive me to get it.
I took 4 draws of the Harlequin vape and 30 mins later I didn't feel like sitting down, I was up walking and made dinner for my husband and kids having my kids bend for me. After hour I found myself bending to get ice from my freezer drawer myself, felt pain if I moved to fast but I felt like I could do it myself, & did. I feelt motivated to get things done.
Like ACDC I will have to be really careful not to overdo it and injure myself because both kill pain and gives you more range of motion, Harlequin is definately good for more intense pain, gives you added motivation too.
I felt like I could clean the house & really wanted to.
I vaped Harlequin again before bed (pain usually keeps me up) and fell asleep fine.
I just woke up after sleeping 7 hours undisturbed, can barely move...I tried to roll over but it's not happening. Harlequin to the rescue.
I need to remind myself "even though you are feeling less pain, you still need to take it easy because you can reinjure yourself by doing to much".
Hope this helps others.
