Hi! I’m glad the CBD oil is helping you sleep. Is there a particular type you take to help with sleep? I heard that Indica RSO (Rick Simpson oil) is supposed to be good. I struggle with sleep now due to the steroids they have me on for my horrible chemo induced nausea. I need more rest & I am not getting near enough.

Thank you!

Yes, I completely understand the nausea as I had nine chemo (FOLFIRINOX) treatments prior to the whipple. Even though I was barely maintaining weight, I would fast the day before chemo and the day of chemo only drinking fluids and that helped with nausea and emergency bathroom visits. The steroids were brutal. Three more chemo cures being scheduled this week.

CBD. I am not an expert by any means. I have been using an organic producer in Maryland and they ship it to me. Oil and gummies (even though I am eliminating sugar). They are Backbone Hemp in Garrett County, Maryland.

I find that it has taken the edge off of my anxiety and helped me sleep. It took about a week before I felt any of the benefits. The only downside has been what feels like a minor hangover in the morning.
Good luck.
Steve
