@ctpaul, and all...I've been using a 1x1 tincture with CBD/THC for several years for whole-body pain and anxiety. I take 1 dropper at night before bed. I am virtually pain-free most nights. It helps me tremendously, but I am also on a limited income and can't afford the 6-month cash pay visit to the doctor to renew my prescription. It's $250 cash per visit. The annual fee for the Florida MM card is $75. The dispensary costs are quite high, so I have forgone the prescription visits.

I found a CBD online that's made by a female doctor and company, with good herbal ingredients to help with stress, anxiety, discomfort, pain, and hormone issues. It's called Winged Wellness. I take 1 or 2 gummies each night of their product, Sleep, before bed.

To try them for pain relief, after researching the ingredients and thinking it had possibilities, I also bought the Relief supplement they offer. It's for pain and discomfort and is also filled with herbal ingredients, including Tumerec which I can't take alone due to stomach issues. These Relief capsules are providing me with better pain relief than anything I've used over the counter or prescription. I don't understand this at all.

I was on many heavy pain medications for many years. They were helpful but I endured multiple side effects, i.e. brain fog, memory issues, worsening balance issues, and several others. I worked with my Mayo doctor who weaned me off each one gradually. 2 years ago, I was off all heavy pain meds and began my journey with medical marijuana.

I'm now more my real self than I can remember...I have pain, but it's different now and I'm not feeling like someone else with a brain and body not working as it should due to meds. So, I'm much improved. I'm happier and better physically at 76 years of age than I've been for many years. Thanks to my Mayo doctors, getting off multiple pain meds and using this combination of CBD and herbal ingredients from this company. I don't use the tincture anymore from the dispensary. I don't pay for MM prescriptions or dispensary costs. I've seen no ill effects from this change, only good things, and improvements.

Naturally, I've worked very hard at taking control of my life, my health, my medical care, and my mental health. This approach, working to heal from within and focusing on being my health and life advocate, is giving me more life, longer life, and a much happier outlook on life, even with the crazy health issues I still have.

I hope this helps some of you find your better self and some relief as you walk this journey.
Blessings. Elizabeth
