CBD and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I've had an ongoing battle with CFS for ~4-5 years now. I've tried so many things over the years: vitamin supplements, a C-PAP machine for sleep apnea, antidepressants, stimulants, a new bed, etc. and I have yet to uncover whatever is causing this debilitating fatigue.

I've heard that certain CBD oils can treat CFS, but I'm in NH where CFS isn't considered a medical cause for medicinal CBD. Maine (which neighbors NH) isn't going to start selling retail CBD until Feb of 2018.

I'm entirely out of my element so I have no idea what my options are when it comes to potentially ordering CBD online, nor which CBD I even SHOULD order for CFS. My fiancee lives in ME so I could have it shipped to her home. I just don't know how I would even begin to go about doing this or what the legality issues are.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Considering that exactly zero people have ever been prosecuted for ordering CBD through the mail, I'd say it's probably safe. Law enforcement likes easy cases to win, not ones where there may be a drawn out battle and a lot of technicalities and they might actually lose.

Apparently the CBD derived from hemp can be lower quality than the stuff from specially bred high CBD strains, but I guess if you buy crystal CBD it's going to be pretty much the same regardless of the source. Probably cost a fortune though.

Could just use THCA instead. It usually can treat the same things as CBD but even better. It's easily obtained by extracting weed with alcohol and not using any heat. There will be a tiny amount of THC too, but almost all THCA. You might get a slight high from it.

CFS is where my journey started. Get your doctor to refer you to a neurologist. My neurologist saw something more than cervical stenosis in my symptoms and ordered MRI's. That lead to the discovery of brain lesions and eventually MS. All I am saying is that sometimes CFS is a sign of something else. FWIW I never found CBD to be particularly helpful for fatigue, at least not any more helpful than percocet. It is temporary relief at best.
