@Drummer76 I take pain medication and clonazepam as well.
With my pain med, I don't take the same amount every day or at the same time every day. I don't have them in my pill box to take on any set schedule, although I do take some everyday as needed. I keep a spreadsheet of how much I have...
@sunkacola Now I can say without a doubt that this CBD rub works really great for the osteoarthritis in my right hand and wrist! Yay! I'm ordering a back applicator tool today so I can use it on my spinal osteoarthritis. Can't wait! I am so grateful to you (and good for me for staying on top of...
@sunkacola I think it might be working on my osteoarthritis in my wrist, but since this is just day one I'm hesitant to say whether it is working for me or not. I sense it might be seeing as I'm typing on my computer at 5 PM, something I would not normally be able to do without pain, so I don't...
@sunkacola My CBD for Life rub arrived today. I applied a small amount to my hands and wrist. I like that I can apply it there without greasiness, etc.
Question: Does it work immediately or do I need to wait 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours? Any idea? Second, how many times should I reapply during...
@Samantha86 hey it's perfectly okay and encouraged to complain or rant or vent here. We even have a special thread for just that. It's an important part of our pain management, mental health and healing to be able to express ourselves and vocalize our feelings with others who can empathize...
Welcome Samantha.
Can you provide some more information? I'm curious as to why you cannot sleep. Is it due to pain? Is it due to anxiety or racing thoughts?
Also, can you please tell us what you have already tried for your insomnia? It would be easier to try to help you if we knew what you...
@Nan Already aware of this, but thanks. I'm waiting first to see if CBD for Life Original Rub is effective on my hand/wrist osteoarthritis before deciding whether to purchase a back ointment application tool for CBD and magnesium.
I would focus on sleep first, which may help with pain as well. Many fibro sufferers don't get enough deep sleep which can cause all sorts of problems. Rather than post the three classes of medications or supplements than can help with deep sleep, I think it would be best for me to refer you to...
Just wanted to make a general comment about magnesium.
If you take magnesium and you find yourself running to the bathroom for fear of an "accident", lower your magnesium dosage. The best way to know if you are taking too much magnesium is that side effect. This counts for all forms of...
I will, @sunkacola I'm going to try it on my osteoarthritis on my hand/wrist first, shoulders too, for awhile then, if I get some relief, I'll buy one of those back applicators and try it on my back. :)
@sunkacola I just ordered the CBD for Life original rub. I just wanted to check in with you and see if are any tips you can give me or other things that I should know when I first use it once it arrives.
@NClady hope you love it as much as I do. I looked back and I had gotten it at a marked down price early in December at around $14, but I do see now in my Walmart app that it is 19.95. prices on everything are going up. It's going to be a rough year financially. But I digress. Please let us know...
