A member asked:
I have cidp in which ivig and steroids have failed. is there any truth in cannabis being beneficial to my condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT TRUE: Forget marijuana or any cannabinoids, and I have NO clue where this recommendation originated. Would suggest you continue IVIG at 1 g/kg every 3 weeks and add either Imuran (azathioprine) or Cell-cept, and work closely with a neurologist who has experience in these approaches.
