I slept much better last night – co-codamol helped! I woke this morning without the dreadful pain in my chest that I was suffering with yesterday, which is a relief. By the time I’m out of bed and moving around I’m getting the odd twinge, but absolute peanuts compared with yesterday.
Tremor remains dangerously close to the surface (more on the right side than the left) and yet I dare not increase the voltage because of the dyskinesia in my right arm, which isn’t unbearable, but is close to being a damn nuisance. Dystonia is the same – bearable, but close to being a damn nuisance! I’m hoping that dyskinesia will recede and enable me to increase the voltage, which will help both tremor and dystonia.
I received a delivery late last night – a box of goodies from the Polish website that I did my interview video for, containing bottles of Charlotte’s Web and Olimax CBD oils and packets of CBD tea as well some key belts and badges – an impressive selection! I take some photos to post on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I spend some time on the internet, translating Polish (from the packaging) into English, and trying to make sure I know how to use the various items. I’m going to try some CBD tea a little later on this afternoon, once I’ve figured out how much of the dried material to brew up with.
I take the dog out for her walk this afternoon – my walking isn’t quite so bad as yesterday, although it’s still a little bit wooden. When we get back
indoors, I brew up some CBD tea – it tastes pleasant enough (given that I have no sense of smell, which affects how everything tastes). I don’t notice any dramatic effect, but I’ll have another brew tomorrow and try making it a little bit stronger. I think it’s likely to be a lot more subtle than when I self-medicate with cannabis in any case.
