I am so sorry that your spasms are so bad. glad that you were able to sleep lst night and maybe able to take a nap today.

I mixed 3 droppers filled of the CBD MJ tincture with Kool-aide earlier last night, and that failed to reduce the spasms and pain in my legs while I was awake, so the drops are obviously going to be of no use helping me sleep through the night.
I'm going to have to drive to the dispensary that is over 1/2hr away to buy regular CBD medical marijuana, since it hasn't been available here in months, and may not be for months more. I may be doing that tomorrow. IDK.

I'm still hypo, still not sleeping long or well, and still being ridiculous lol
I did a lot yesterday, but I think most of it was a lot of nothing. I got myself into a bunch of messes, and made messes that I later had to clean up

We did laundry today. It went pretty smoothly. We are both very tired. I couldn't settle down long enough to nap. I laid in bed for a while searching for new laundry bags on Amazon.

I have an appointment with my pdoc tomorrow morning at like 7:30am. That's when I'm usually online. I don't know what other kind of trouble I will get myself into after my appointment, so I may not be able to check in.

Hope that you get your cbd formula that you want/need.

Sorry your tinctures are not helping.

That's quite an early appt. I hope it goes well.

I wish we had easy access to reasonable priced quailty MJ. I believe
it would help me or would be worth trying.


Take care, Kay.

Mari, the price of marijuana you get at the dispensaries is actually pretty cheap, especially when you consider what you are getting...
It's high quality, and is consistent (at my regular place at least), and there is a menu with information on each strain about what symptoms it treats best (but there are other sx each may treat as well), what kind of high to expect, and what it smells and tastes like. The people who work there are really helpful, and you can usually get reviews for everything on their websites.
The MJ I bought yesterday was $25 off because I was a new patient there, so I only paid $20 for 1/8 (which is incredibly inexpensive). I didn't buy anything else there because I've never tried their stuff before, and 1/8 is a lot to get stuck with if it isn't any good. I usually buy 1/16 of 2 different other kinds besides the CBD.

I had to wait for a while after my appointment and pump myself full of coffee before going, but I did make the trip to the other dispensary to pick up the CBD dominant MJ strain. I smoked a tiny bit of it on its own, and it's going to work out very well for me. I should be able to treat my pain w/o having to smoke so much I end up passing out on the couch
Before I went to bed, I ground it up the new stuff with a different strain I knew would knock me out tho. I have not been able to nap, and I have been staying up late. I REALLY NEED/NEEDED SLEEP. I slept for 9 hours last night, but that's not nearly enough to catch up. When this episode is over, it will probably take me a week or more to recover.

I'm taking the Abilify at night, but I'm still waking up sedated, and exhausted because of the lack of sleep. But not long after I got home from my very early appointment yesterday, I started experiencing significant psycho-motor agitation, and agitation in general, and I was slightly paranoid again, etc... There's no way I can describe to you the feeling of being this sedated, but manic. I'm all f-ed up... a total mess
I should just keep quiet. I'm coming off as confused because I'm so tired and out of it, and my line of thinking is rather odd and not linear, so a lot of things are coming out of left field, and sometimes I'm not making much sense especially because I'm still talking so fast, but I can't shut the f- up. I'm pretty sure the guys at the dispensary thought it was nuts.

My pdoc wants to increase the Abilify from 5 to 7.5mg. But I can only take 7.5mg on nights when I don't have to drive the next day. I took it this morning, and I woke up really sedated (and nauseous). It will last the whole day since my morning meds just perpetuate it. I have to drive to go get my Tysabri treatment tomorrow, so it's back to 5mg tonight. Then I have to drive again on Friday...
I'm in for the day today.

She was adamant that I needed to get some sleep. I told her the only way I can is if I get super-stoned. She said, "I can't authorize that," but with a smile, and said again, "YOU NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP."

I desperately needed to take mag. citrate, so I reluctantly did that last night. The results were underwhelming. I will have to try taking it again tomorrow night. I f- hate the thought of it...

Your days have been super challenging.
sorry that your mag citrate was disappointing.
It sounds like your pdoc is listening to you.
Are you happy with your visit?
I hope you can get a nap into today.
Thank you for posting.
And you make perfect sense don't worry about that with us...

Just work on getting some sleep. You are doing the best you
can. That is all you can do.

Donna

Just wanted to let you know that I'm okay.

Thanks, Kay.
