Thanks. I assumed it was a simple matter of using liquid coconut oil and then the usual infusion method. Did you strain it? I'm also a bit surprised at putting in essential oils or fragrances, which is the last thing I'd want to do to something being applied to mucous membranes!

I've been looking into this stuff, actually. The article isn't too bad, although shame on them for missing out "not condom safe", and if the author is a cis guy, you do wonder why they didn't get someone who actually has a vagina to write it. Reports have generally been good, though it's...

By the way, being unable to tolerate massage is a known feature of fibromyalgia. I only wish I'd figured it out earlier, my lovely massage therapist was trying every technique she could think of for some time, and then I finally looked at my book on trigger point therapy and there it was, right...

Interesting point about meds. Here's what I'm on every day: Cetirizine (antihistamine) Alimemazine (antihistamine) Omeprazole (PPI) Ranitidine (H2 blocker) Vitamin D Ferrous sulphate (iron) Ivabradine (treats tachycardia caused by dysautonomia) The mast cell disorder and the dysautonomia are...

Goodness, so many comments! Thank you all. To whoever mentioned Vitamin D levels, yep, mine were found to be low years ago. The GP put me on Adcal D3, which combines an inadequate dosage of D3 with calcium carbonate, which wrecks your stomach acid while also being a crap form of calcium. It...

So are you saying you get enough CBD from your own herb supply, without needing to buy the frighteningly expensive commercial stuff?

Thanks. I have been looking around for CDB products in the UK, and they all seem dodgy beyond belief. If you look on Amazon, for instance, you find products being sold by companies with no contact details and with multiple fake reviews (best one so far: "it tastes like prunes 5*" - yeah, if I...

You can't search for such short words in this forum. You sound like you'd be able to find it without too much trouble, and I'm really not up to reading an entire forum hunting for something when I don't even know what the thread title is. I'm visually impaired and have cognitive dysfunction...

I have no idea where to begin with that. You evidently have a depth of knowledge that I don't. That's why I'm asking for suggestions! Concentrates - nope, I haven't tried them. I'm not even entirely sure what you're referring to, there are so many products on the market and so much slang. (I...

Hello again! I didn't realise that there were messages since I last posted, and have just caught up. In general news, my pain levels have been up and down, I've learned the hard way that I can't take my pain meds (tramadol plus diazepam) more than twice a week, I still can't take tramadol at...

It wasn't working out for me, so the vaper has gone off to its new home and I will be concentrating on legal (and more expensive!) herbs. Thank you all for your, it's been great.

Temp 2 doesn't seem to be a good one for me, I've had sod-all sleep. It won't have helped that the pain flared up near bedtime and I can't take my pain meds at night. I think I'll have breakfast, take pain meds, and see if I can sleep then, because I really can't function in any way on four...

The basic version is problems with tracking, I think it's a lag, and the advanced version is that everything seems to be swaying about. I have never drunk or taken anything to alter my mood before trying this, so for all I know this is the sort of thing that's normal when drunk and that's why...

I'm glad you're able to do that, not many of us with chronic illnesses can! I've have died years ago without my mast cell meds, anaphylaxis is no joke, but ye gods, I get fed up with all the side effects and problems I get from meds. Last night I decided to try slowly raising the temperature to...

Did it help with nightmares at all? I think it's something physiological triggering them, I've got my eye on some meds changes, as they got noticeably worse a couple of years ago and I've actually been very happy in that time. Going off one of the meds has stopped me struggling to breathe in...

Massage - ah, I wish. I did reasonably well with it until about a year an a half ago. Now it just flares up the fibro, specifically the trigger point clusters in my left hip and shoulder. That's even if you're just massaging my feet and calves! I have a fabulous massage therapist who has...

Don't worry, I'm not looking for a magic bullet, and I'm not sure where you're getting this fear stuff from but that's not an element in my illness. When I was so ill I nearly dieed, yep, that was scary, but that was years ago, and the rest of the time it's the same old, I know what it's like...

Thank you! Interesting to know. I can't really do anything when I'm vaping as it makes me all wobbly and messes up my vision. Although maybe some really basic stretching, like the Miracle Ball Method, would work. But generally I would vape just before bed, so that the most I would have to do...

To be honest, I'm not sure it's doing anything much for me, and I hate being all wobbly and unable to see straight. Is there a point to hanging onto the vaper, or should I flog it to a friend who's interested?

I forgot to mention that I tried some medibles the other week, and did the classic thing of having too many. I felt fine that day, just a bit relaxed, but the next day I felt utterly dire, especially psychologically. So I'm not touching those again, I'll give my ABV to the friend who supplies...
