CBD OIL - Day 1

I decided to finally 'bite the bullet'.
So, I took the syringe and tried to squeeze out 1/4 grain of rice size amount on to the flat end of a toothpick (as suggested)
Well, it's very thick...so when I pushed the plunger, nothing happened...so pushed a little harder and a blob the size of 2 grains of rice came out on to the tooth pick. With my finger, I wiped off the toothpick, leaving approx. the amount of 1/4 grain of rice.
I was just going to wipe my finger off on a dish cloth, when my husband called out "Hey, don't waste that...give it to me" lol...so I walked over, he stuck out his tongue, and I wiped my finger off on his tongue.

Then I grabbed the spoon of coconut oil and put it on the top of my tongue (as suggested), and gave my husband a spoonful as well.

Yuck - it tastes horrible.

My husband said, "Well, if we're giggling tonight when we're watching 'House of Cards' , we'll know why.

I explained that the THC content is supposed to be negligible.

So, we'll see what happens. Will do 1/4 grain of rice size (twice daily) for a few days, if no results, then 1/2 grain, and then 1 grain.

It's from the Green Cross - (I'm in Canada - it's grown here in BC)

Have you guys looked into any other brands like blue bird botanicals, healthy hemp life, endoca, bio cbd plus, elixinol?

Same here! I giggled reading about hubby - and we watched House of Cards last night too! Love that show!

Anyway, I do hope that you find some good relief with it's use. You may need to use it for a few days before noticing much though.

I hope you enjoyed House of Cards last night!

I think the Green Cross is made from actual cannabis rather than Hemp, right? I am using a cannabis oil mixed one gram with one cup of coconut oil, then I take 1/8 teaspoon several times a day. It does help with rest and the pain. A gram will last about a month, which is a good amount of doses for not much money. With that amount I am able to avoid the psychoactive effects but still have the benefits.

Both hemp and marijuana are strains of Cannabis. Marijuana has the high THC and hemp has low THC (the cbd oil I purchase (hemp) has 3% thc)

Because of it's low thc - it is legally purchased. To purchase the marijuana, we need to have documents filled out by a Doctor.

The CBD oil is what Dr. Murakami (retired LLMD) and Eva Sapi are using in their research on whether or not it has an effect on killing lyme - not just symptom relief.

Good to know Lighterbeing that it helps with the pain and sleep. I'm hoping for more, but that would be good, too.

cd, Traveler - my husband is always grabbing my bottles/tinctures and saying 'What's this for...maybe I should try it"

Even prior to lyme, we had a cupboard full of supplements....it's definitely the placebo effect with him for most things. He'll take one dose of something and say 'wow, I really feel it..it's working" lol


Trav - a little disappointed with House of Cards. But, we just watched the first show...maybe we just need to do a binge watch of three or four...lol

Thanks Bryguy! Goodluck Girlie!

Thanks happyjo for your feedback. I'm sorry you didn't respond to it. Which product of theirs did you try and did you call them for a refund? See what they can do?

Good luck Girlie, looking forward to hearing how you get on !!

Yes, it's easier now - first time it was like a plug...

It's such a small amount to guesstimate....so not sure how accurate my 'dosing' is.

Day 3 - nothing yet...lol - I have read it can take a few weeks before noticing anything.

Summersun - Are you still taking it? Any results?

I'm just on 1/2 grain of rice size twice daily...In a few days I will go to a whole grain of rice.

Is that where I'm supposed to stop? Or, can you keep going? I am going to go to Dr. Murakami's fb page and read - see if other people mentioned how much they are taking.

Sorry you're still suffering from the fatigue and pain - the pain is in the heart area? Is it constant?
I have occasional stabbing pains there...but not sure if it's my heart...or just my muscles in that area.

I think you can go up to 2 grains of rice a day, but don't quote me on that. My memory is foggy. I just take one grain of rice per day (night actually). I don't think you can take much more, because the first time I used it and a big splat came out, I just took it all. I turned into a major zombie for the evening. I completely spaced out and had a hard time moving my body and talking. Everything went weak. I won't do that again!

Thanks. The pain in the heart is not constant, but seems to ramp up when I move around too much. (Too much is not a whole lot - like it could be making dinner for example.) Sometimes it gets sharper and sometimes I get stabbing pains. One day last week I thought I was having a heart attack, then the next day it was a lot better. I can deal with the other symptoms but this one really worries me.

Hi Dave. Yes, I have Bart and am being treated for it. Actually my doctor thinks it is caused by Babesia. Yes, I hear ya - it is a worrisome symptom.
