I dislike taking medication. Most medications react very differently in my system then it does in anyone else. One reason is due to a hereditary liver disease I have.
Small dosages of certain medications, that help many people, make me very sick or have horrible side effects on me.
Try explaining to a Doctor, when you are 18 years old, abnormal symptoms from a new medication that is causing you huge problems.
See if they believe you. Feel free to try it in your fifties too.
You get the best looks from Doctors thinking you are making things up.
I had found a combination of four medications that have helped me and still do to a degree with normal day to day pain. The problem is the pain I live with is getting worse. The pain from twisting or whatever I did to my knee, is getting worse, not better. I can barely put any pressure on my left leg now.
My knee is so painful now when trying to fall asleep both legs are shooting me with sizzling pain. Imagine someone tiny, inside your legs, with a laser gun zapping you. That explains, as best I can, how I have been feeling.
I have been taking up to four pain medication pills per day.
I do NOT want to become addicted to pain medication. Taking four pills a day over a long period will stop the medication from being as potent as it is meant to.
I used to be able to skips days and on a bad day take one pain pill. Two pain pills on a Saturday to get laundry done. I have been living this way for a long time and have always been very careful that when I take one pain medication pill I can feel it working.
I will not be forced to keep upping the dosage if I want some relief from pain.
This is where CBD and Plain Jane come in.
When I was out in Colorado to The Alliance Block Party I saw first hand how CBD can change someone's life for the better.
I learned more about Cannabis then ever. I didn't partake but I sure listened. A ton has changed in forty years!!! is all I can say. 😸
After the trip to Colorado, I kept CBD at the top of my 'To Do' list. One day I found a mailorder company called 'Plain Jane' by watching one of @PrettyNiceVideo videos.
I decided it was time to see what was what in the CBD world.
I started with prerolled CBD cigarettes. They were a great help. I would smoke one joint before I would need to resort to taking any pain medication, if at all.
Until...
The last months of stress on my body, mental health, and the world decided to start imploding.
I decided to go back to Plain Jane and order some stronger CBD items. They came in the mail today. The one item I could try right away made me sleep for 3 hours. I am not complaining. With the very small amount I had smoked of the one prerolled CBD joint, it is will last me a long time. 😹

I am now waiting on my Smoke Cartel Mystery Box to come in the mail so I can try the rest of the CBD products I ordered. Let's hope it helps. Right now it sure can not hurt me any more than I already am.
Who would have thought I would once again be buying paraphernalia! 🙀
Help someone smile today. It can not hurt you.

I have some pain. Ranges from modest to not modest. Mostly from joint inflammation caused by wear and tear and arthritis. I previously used an OTC med on a regular basis. In fact, I would rotate between two to prevent long term problems from one or the other.
In December I decided to try CDB oil on suggestion from a 'naturalist' friend. I take a small (50ml) dose 3 times a day and have only taken one anti-inflammatory since Jan 1. Big change for the better.
I'm glad you have found/are finding alternative treatments.
My poor doctor. When she suggests a pharmaceutical for me she has to defend it and completely explain. I generally refuse.
I tried the oil and it didn't do anything for me but make my mouth taste weird :(
So yeah. Really hoping this more potent stuff works.
Fingers crossed!!
🤘🏼Right on feel the power of true herbal medicine, and it's your turn to go to the 24hour store for Munchies 🚬🥴
Did you and @katrina-ariel feature in this?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I have full cabinets of food LOLL and Maple syrup :D
I hear your struggle & pain! I hope you can find relief that doesn't have any other complications fir your precious body ❤❤❤
so far so good.
Thank you so much for caring!!
You should check out @carolinahemp. There products are a little pricey, but they have some quality stuff. Also I’m not sure where you live, but you should seek out a 4:1 ratio of cbd to thc. Works wonders.
Also in this crazy world, I am so great full for the tools Mother Nature has given us to help cope. Take care and I hope your able to stop taking the pain pills. They work great, but only for a couple hours. Before you know it you fell like you are dying from not taking the pills! It’s a hell of a thing isn’t it, lol
yeah, why I have always been so careful with the pills. When I need them to work I need them and adding more just isn't good no matter how you look at it. so far things are looking up. Just waiting on my 'mystery box' so I can try out the flowers I received.
Wisconsin so yeah.. need to be careful here.
At the Canna Steem fest last year, they had these candles that when burnt, CBD was released into the room. Perfect for taking hot baths with!
Those candles sound wonderful. I would fall asleep in the bathtub LOLL
Whatever helps with the pain I say go for it @snook. Cannabis is so much better for you than things like alcohol
