Bruno, it is great to see you back!

Yes, it's pretty ugly. I just dumped my old profile and created a new one.

I am doing pretty well on a trial of CBD, see my thread marked "Hope." Maybe 50% symptom reduction, I have developed a little tolerance to it, but it is still working. My worst symptoms seem to happen if I miss a dose and get heavy exercise.

Good to see you!

Katalyst......I've been trying to work with cbd too, but I am making my own. I have also been juicing it and adding it to smoothies and I have a tincture brewing. I don't like the buzz that comes with heating it.....I seem to get a bit jittery and don't sleep well. I hope it is working out for you. It is still not legal here in Canada but we live out of town and can grow our own.

MT.....glad to be back!
