On Monday the 24th I switched it up and I decided to take 0.05ml X3 a day and the 0.2ml oil X2 this seemed to work well, managed to get out and explore, and felt better than I had done for a while. However I have removed my insoles in the boots, so maybe this also contributed to this feeling. Camping so let’s see how I feel tomorrow. For now still taking 1 or 2 tramadol, 2 paracetamol, 1 etoricoxib as usual.

Tuesday I had the same doses again, I felt like it worked so well yesterday, we managed another day of exploring and enjoying ourselves, that we decided to camp another day. We started the day with a full English breakfast, which kept us full until 6.30pm, still not 100 painfree, but definitely more manageable. Haven’t felt like this for a while!

Wednesday I decided to try and drop the 0.2ml of the CBD oil, (as that’s the most expensive of the two oils, and I’m unsure if it does anything compared to the THC one) and instead try 0.1ml  of the THC to see if this would achieve greater pain relief?? I guess it’s all trial and error for now. Certainly pleased that  the side effects have all gone, they took about 4 days to go. In the afternoon I had 0.05ml and we did a small walk, back definitely feels lighter and less compressed. We ended the day with chippie and hot water bottle at home. Usual 2 tramadol, 2 paracetamol, 1 etoricoxib. Ended with 0.1ml for bedtime. (So I’ve had 0.2.5ml in total today)

Thursday It’s my birthday and we slept in our own bed last night. Slept so so well!! As we aren’t doing much except catch up on family and household chores, I will take 0.5ml probably x3 today and still stay off the CBD oil and see if that is ok? Feeling pretty fresh, achy yes as usual from a walk prior, but way better than I did just 2 weeks ago. Finding 3 doses like this is good, not 100% painfree but definitely nicely manageable, and it takes it off my mind.

FRIDAY Slept reasonable, though I did wake up a few times and drop off again. Nothing major though. 0.05ml THC oil morning. Then same again 0.05ml THC oil afternoon. Had some chores to do like food shopping, and visiting other shops,( found more Halloween things) absolute agony once we got home, couldn’t stand much longer, so it’s not been strong enough today sadly. Hot water bottles needed. Feeling very pained I had 0.1ml THC bedtime. Let’s see if that helps.

SATURDAY Slept better, but super stiff in the morning, major back and hip pain, so 0.1ml THC oil this morning. Mid afternoon I had the CBD oil 0.2ml. it seems as much as I thought it wasn’t doing much, it does seem to work, and perhaps make the THC oil work better too?? So that’s interesting. Made me feel more energetic, and lighter in the back. Perfect. For bedtime I took 0.1ml THC oil, and followed by 0.2ml CBD oil

SUNDAY that was a way better sleep. So I think I will try the dosing, so 2x 0.1.5ml THC oil and 0.2ml CBD oil. To see if it lifts the back pain so I don’t need hot water bottles all day and night. I need to book an appointment (follow up one next week) to tell them how I’m getting on, not sure if they will change the prescription or keep it the same. Had the same for bedtime. But honestly didn’t notice the increase, so is that worth doing again? And wasting it. Probably not.

Monday will see us packing and going on some adventures again starting Tuesday!, so I hope the current routine works well, and perhaps I’ll wear the insoles and see if the pain returns. I went and decided to take 0.1ml THC and 0.2ml CBD morning and night. Seems the best medium so far.
