How fast are these weeks going? Definitely getting into a rhythm with the oil now, feels like it’s balancing out, and less side effects. Though Mr Moon would say I’m sometimes more irritable, snappy. And upon reading others felt the same it is a side effect that usually goes once doses are regular and consistent.

MONDAY Calm before the storm, I’ve been consistently taking 0.1ml either 2 times a day or 3. Working well, and the day is getting ready for hip consult tomorrow. Night sweats are massively bothering me though, stupid perimenopause.

TUESDAY Hospital early so I had 0.1-5ml knowing the leg would be poked, prodded and extremely inflamed. I was right, absolutely agony in this acute pain. Had 0.1-5ml for bed. Slept well considering the increased pain in the psoas.

WEDNESDAY Another hospital visit, but not as early. Feeling better than yesterday 0.1-5ml X 3. Felt productive and a lot happier. Even had the best sleep I’ve ever had, less sweating as well (more of this please)

THURSDAY We are grounded as car is having some issues, but this means I can get some chores done, as now I actually feel like doing them. Have a pampering bath too as a reward. 0.1-5ml in the morning. Had 0.1-5ml and tidied up as I have a friend arriving for a visit tomorrow. Nothing too major as I’m still sore, and don’t want to go overboard. Had 0.1-5ml at bedtime. Slept solid.

FRIDAY Change of plan, friend coming tomorrow instead. This cooler air has brought a lot of aches, stiffness and pain. But worried about having 0.1-5ml X 3 as it will obviously run out faster. But it is making life more bearable. Do I save the higher doses for days out? Ended up having it 2 times instead. Really starting to sleep better.

SATURDAY Rains coming, I could feel it in my bones. However soon warmed them up with 0.1-5ml in the early lunch time, and hot water bottle. Saw my friends which was lovely, and body feels better. At early evening I forgot to take 0.1-5ml, so I hope I can still sleep!! How bizarre forgetting, that’s obviously a sign it’s not grinding at me as much as usual. By the time I remembered it was close to midnight, so didn’t take it.

SUNDAY I did worry I wouldn’t sleep as well, but I did, soon out like a light. As I don’t need to do much today or early, my first dose was 12.30pm 0.1-5ml this seems to work well. Resting day today. Rain pretty awful, so I know it’s an increased pain day. Feels like it’s been a successful week. I’ve found a good happy medium. Ended with 0.1-5ml at bedtime.
