1. Upswings! Don’t you love them?! This is my one week anniversary for this lovely episode of upswing. Not much pain, way more energy. Got Stuff Done. Took Walks. Ran Around. Yesterday, my fibro specialist, who hadn’t seen me in months, was awed by my awesomeness! 2. Visiting with my mama. 3.

My faves are the Resolve herbal pills, to move chi. They usually give […]
My new GP signed off for me for medical marijuana. She gave me the filled-out physician’s form; I need to copy my driver’s license and submit those and the Oregon form I just downloaded and send it in. It takes about a month to receive the card. I don’t have to smoke! Nor eat a dicey amount. She recommended a high CBD oil that you ingest; and for quick pain control, a tincture. Just one […]
