Looking for some help w recommended cultivars/types to mainly help w fatigue and energy loss from having Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Prolly 6 months ago i was finally diagnosed w Seronegative RA after years of feeling like shite. My rxs r seemingly working, idfk anymore. I randomly combat these bouts of fatigue and energy loss that absolutely debilitate me and i just lay in bed for days miserable and contemplate my life and choices and what ive actually done, which isnt fucking shit, uuuggghhhh this shit is miserable!! Sorry, like to throw in the occasional pity party lol. Its like i have the motivation to want to do things but my body just refuses and will not cooperate which leaves my wife to pick up the extra stuff around the house that i normally do. I know she understands but i also see it wearing on her as well and thatbadds to me feelimg like shit.
Idk, i guess im just looking for recommendations on anything cannabis related that may help w my symptoms. Im sick of beimg on pain meds, they work but for fucks sake i feel like a goddamn zombie and completely not present and forgetful of everything.
Aporeciate any feedback,and advice.

I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I empathize heavily. I have similar symptoms from my own stuff. I’ll be following to see what folks suggest.

Have you tried THCv strains? For me it acts like an anti-depressant, energetic and no munchies. Pineapple Express is one of my favorite daytime strains. If my gf smokes that, the house gets vacuumed.
Lately I’ve been on this 1:1 thc:cbd w/ thc-v stuff. this Purple Caper Luxor’s Chocolate CBD. It’s some great stuff to wake n bake n get on with your day. 2 puffs and I feel it thru my neck n back instantly. It’s the kind of strain that should be in medical dispensaries. but it’s not. I rarely saw any cbd in stores. Then the D8 crap came out, and I couldn’t find cbd anywhere it used to be.
At this point… I just decided to grow what I like. My current pet project is Sour Diesel x Pineapple Express x Luxor’s Chocolate CBD.

I dont know anyone with RA that uses cannabis, but based on the symptoms there are a few recommendations ill make.
Dream Queen worked really good for a friend with MS. Helped with swelling pain and fatigue. For me, it was kinda like green crack but less jittery. Good pain relief and energy
Chem and chem hybrids crosses. Currently smoking on chemdawg, TK x chem91 and shakedown street (chem x wookie). Chem is generally great for daytime pain relief. Straight chemdawg can be a bit speedy but fantastic pain relief. Not the best for treating my inflammation but one of the best pain relief strains i know.
Bruce Banner hybrids usually work the best for me for reducing swelling and inflammation while also providing strong pain relief. Personal favorite is star spangled banner 3 from night owl (bruce banner auto x blue microverse (24 carat auto x blue magoo)). In general the hybrids work really good for swelling and inflammation so i felt worth mentioning
Also worth mentioning, i remember my mom had really bad arthritis a long time ago now (maybe 15-20 years). She ended up getting a series of bee venom injections which helped her condition significantly. I dont think she has gotten any treatments since. Might be something worth discussing with your doctor

Ive read that daily cold showers and ice plunges helps with arthritis. In some cases completely reversed it.
Have you looked into this?
