this might be week 3 of my experiment to see if using the cbd oil with thc in it might knock out the ALZ factor.
Using oil made from cannabis organic grown buds I now have no reaction to the thc.
Increased my dosage to 2 times a day and 1 dose of the cbd oil w/o thc. Now taking larger doses, about size of 2 grains of rice.
changes:
I am now walking 1+ mile a day and added a 20 second run to it. I was virtually bedridden for years now, by weakness, inability to breathe, and inertia.
My body has worn down, bone loss and muscle loss. To be able to walk in a normal gait (not the trudge I had) is a miracle to me, to breathe without coughing, and now adding the micro bursts of running has helped me lose 2.5 lbs this past week and I feel some strength coming back into my legs.
I am very sore from the activity but read about what happens when you sit all day, and what happens when you lay in bed all day. Your body begins to break down.
so summer ended and fall has begun and I want to get strong enough to rejoin local exercise class and then swim starting in November ( have nearby pool to use)
My sleep is disrupted because of the muscle and bone pain from exercise but I am managing it again with a couple puffs of train Wreck, an Indica strain.
I have been looking people in the eyes, as if I did not for a few years.
I had been emotionally tormented by family actions against me and lived in fear of what they would take from me next. Often felt out of body from ptsd, and suffered from depression.
After several months on oil I was able to make a chart of how my family's actions against me cost me my retirement and set my husband and I up for him having nothing when I die. I sent this to my mother with no malice, just so she can understand why I have to stop interacting with he and to tell her anymore or further papers she wants me to sign will go to my lawyer. I feel released from that anger.
as for my cognitive abilities, there are times in the day I am so sharp! Figuring out camera adjustments, recalling names of historical things, dressing with more care.
and then there are times, mostly 30 minute periods, where I can go "lost"about what I am doing. My husband has been super good at covering for me at those times.
We are now laughing every day! We negotiate so much better. The less I have to do what is difficult the more energy I have.
Cleared off kitchen table and plan to begin some art projects this week.
Taking the thc oil now is no different than coconut oil, no drugged stoned sensation at all. I do think the 2 oils function differently and will take regular oil if I feel stuck, frozen in place and it works within minutes. The thc oil feels like it is working on something.
I am now past 65 and my skin brown spots are almost gone. Those plaques from Aricept were an allergic reaction. Thank god I am off drugs!
today's conclusion:
It may not cure me but it is going to make this a happy end of life.
Function improved on every level.
Now wanting to bathe and shower, care about my appearance.
People are telling me I look "really good, different!"
I can walk normally, my gait is normal.
My appetite is down and hope to keep losing 2 pounds a week for awhile.
Mood is stable and cheerful.
Still forget where I placed things, but usually remember within a few hours.
Forecast: optimistic, feeling creatively inspired, feel emotionally stable, feel back in my body more than ever before in my life.
If I skip a dose there is still a difference that I want to avoid. To think a year ago I was spending an hour putting on underpants. wow.
