Polymyosotis would cannabis therapy help?

No: Let us just say it has no effect on the inflammatory process.

Comments: It appears that you are taking appropriate medications for your inflammatory muscle disease. Medical marijuana might relax you or even distract you, but would have NO appreciable therapeutic effect otherwise on your muscle disease. Would contact your treating doctor directly prior to engaging in cannabis.
