Hi shakycatwoman

Pleased to hear of your experience with CBD. I am considering taking it myself. Can I ask about the dosage? I need the better sleep you mention.
Thanks

I havenā€™t posted on here for a while, but I have to sing the praises of CBD oil. I get mine from CBDbrothers.

Iā€™m astonished at how quickly the drops work. Within twenty seconds of using the drops under the tongue, the tremor in my right leg and arm almost completely disappear, and the stiffness recedes almost as quickly.

I now use this as a party trick in front of doctors.

What it hasnā€™t affected is the slowness, but you canā€™t have everything. Sleeping is much easier, because now I donā€™t shake in bed, much to the relief of my wife.

hi Mike i too find cbd oil helps with sleep but also my sense of smell has returned and can also taste some foods i get mine from holland and barret 5% wondering what strength you take glad you getting good results any posative has to be good

54

Hi Peter, I use the 5% like you. It looks like most of us can take something from this, and with zero side effects. Whatā€™s not to like?

55

Hi Peter, Island Mike and all,

Iā€™m slightly confused., I want to try this oil as I have to try and do something about these severe narcoleptic headaches, which I get nearly every evening or late afternoon. My local PD team and my GP are at a loss to explain them. A surplus of dopamine in my brain is one explanation. Another is my high anxiety level.

Googling, I have read that Cannabis oil can be extracted from more than one type of Cannabis Plant.

One plant is Marijuana, which contains high amounts of a natural chemical called THC, which is known for itā€™s psychoactive properties.

Hemp oil comes from the Hemp plant, which is also a cannabis plant but contains only trace elements of THC but is rich in CBD, which has no psychoactive properties but does have definite medicinal benefits.

Both can be called Cannabis Oil.

Iā€™m seeing my GP tomorrow and I assume he will be ok about me taking Hemp oil but not oil from Marijuana? Any advice or comment on the above would be welcome.

Hi Jules. I live around 80 miles including the ferry away from a Holland and Barret. I get supplies from cbdbrothers.com, currently using 5%. Great service. Very quick.

Your GP should be unbothered, at worst you are only being a teeny bit illegal, so if you try it and if it helps you should be fine.

58

Hi Island Mike,

Thanks for your advice and information.
As you predicted, my GP, who has been my GP for 35 years was fairly unbothered about me trying the oil, but strictly off the record.
He did throw in the caveat that I should be aware of my existing medication.
So I will give it a go. Have to try and ease these headaches. My biggest problem is my mind finds it difficult to wind down.

Iā€™m also interested in cannabis oil as my husband is getting so little sleep he finds it impossible to think straight. He also suffers from constant headaches that feel like a tight band round his forehead. Has anyone found the oil helps with this sort of problem?
