Hi CCO Brethren!
In this thread, I have asked for and received the best assistance and information, this thread is like no other because you folks are a group like no other. OK, so I need more help, or at least some opinions or experienced guesses. Lab Rats Unite!
Here we go,
As described earlier in this thread, I have been treating my son (he has Neurofibromatosis or NF1) with CCO CAPS for a few weeks now.
I started his treatments with a 40:1 ratio 4x a day for a week, followed by 30:1 ratio 4x a day for a week, and then progressed to 20:1 ratio 4x a day. He was reacting well to the therapy and was sleeping better with fewer awakenings, and felt much looser and mobile in the mornings. After a few days of consuming 20:1 ratio 4x a day, he started developing a new “thing”. A rash started appearing on his neck and face in a location where he had a bad sunburn in his teens. It initially appeared similar to light sunburn, and progressively darkened and eventually progressed into dark red bumps. The bumps appear very similar to what shaving bumps/rash look like, the no so fun razor burn that we can get when being overzealous with a sharp razor. Nothing else in his diet, medicine, or environment has changed. No sun exposure occurred during this time period. I immediately dropped his dose back to the 40:1 ratio 4x a day. The rash has mostly abated since the CCO reduction, but I am hesitant to increase the dosage again, or at minimum increase it more slowly.
Does anyone have any ideas, thoughts or experiences with regrading someone having this reaction to CCO? It was a bit very shocking, but the parent/child thing magnifies the discord.
I couldn’t find very much in the Internet regarding this rash thing as a reaction to CCO/RSO or most any other cannabis extraction methods. Perhaps it’s not even CCO related, and something else might have just cropped up? Or perhaps it’s a Herxheimer reaction. Maybe it’s his body ejecting some toxic stuff and the CCO is doing its work? Since people lather CCO into creams and slather it on their skin, and it heals, it can't be allergic reaction right? An allergic reaction was my initial fear, but he can handle and smoke cannabis without negative reaction. I reached the conclusions my first thgouth was dumb, especially since his treatment is taken orally and not applied externally.
I’m just playing armchair Doc here to my son, and it’s not for faint-hearted parents I tell you!
I appreciate any and all thoughts on the matter, many thanks.
Keith
