Pain management for humans and our best friends.

Good morning ya'll. This is my second blog! I don't know if anyone will ever read these but I write in hopes to help at least one person. Today I started my monthly. Oh it really is the pits. To top it off I'm out of oil. I have a delivery today with 2 new flavors Strawberry kiwi oil and Tangerine oil.  I'm super excited about them both. So I sit here very very uncomfortable with a level 6 pain and 600mg of ibuprofen in my system... it no longer dowsing anything for me. Only helps to take the edge off. My oil helps me function and I generally don't need any pain medication with my oil use.

Almost a year ago I was in the ER for dehydration and bloody stools. I had been taking 800mg ibuprofen tabs. It weakend my stomach lining and I got sick from a stomachance bug that is normally very harmless. Easy but long fix. Just shortly after I healed my best friend got sick.

My dog Lillian was diagnosed with what was thought to be kidney failer and extreamly bad arthritis in all joints and in her lowe spine. She had very little energy and walked with difficulty. I hadn't seen her run in a while and her appetite was fadding. How did this happen so fast? Vet said 2-3 weeks... how is 2-3 weeks enough to say good bye to your best friend for over 13 years... I was befutteled. After lots of research I changed her diet and started making her food with limits and was introduced to CBD oil and its abilities. On a whim, for my girls comfort I bought a bottle. My baby girl was walking with ease after her second dose. She appeared to be pain free AND she even had a better appetite.  She lived for 4 months after her diagnosis. She now rests in her favorite "bark at the neighbors cat" spot under the tree in my front yard. I'd like to say she had a thankful look for everything on the day she passed. I knew there would come a day when the oil wouldn't be a help anymore. She was so stubborn and when she collapsed in my arms I knew it was time.

I miss her so much. But alot of good has come from this. I currently have other dogs and a foster dog. Each has their own crazy personality. My foster has ADHD I swear, with Cbd oil she is able to focus and learn tricks and playing techniques. I have a stray Fifi that has become part of the family that has a small agression issue. I see less of this agression with oil in her system. I also use it for anxiety in my dogs. For more information about pets and Cbd oils click here.

Tell your anxiety to shove it!




If your like me and suffer from anxiety you know what it is like completely exhauste your self over seemingly little things to others. I have tried many pills, oils, the counting and even yoga. Somethings helped but not enough. I couldn't breakout into a downward dog in a crowd, a funny sight that would be. Others put me in a blurry mess or a fog. Finally I read a conversation on famous Facebook about a lady who was using CBD oil for her anxiety. I was befutteled... why didn't I think about that before?After all I was already using it to help my dogs with pain, separation anxiety and what I sware was ADHD in my foster dog. I'd tell you about my dog's experience but this another story. So I logged onto my tablet, ventured to Diamond Cbd (go a head click the link I know you want to. My story will still be here once your done browsing in awe at all the flavors.)  There I ordered a cotton candy flavored oil at 50mg. Diamond products are made in Ft.Lauderdale FL which is a bonus in my book I love things made and produced in the USA. I also got free shiping. 
As you can imagine I was over come with anxiety waiting for my oil, ironic I know. I used it the minute I opened my package... a couple of drops under my tounge... it had a warm taste to it but it was also sweet like candy. I wish I could say I had instant relief but I didnt. However by the time I made my way over to the bathroom to change out of my work clothes I noticed I felt less antsy. I took some more before bed that night and I have to say I slept so good. The next day I took some with my coffee and went off to work. I was able to focus and felt more incontrol. I have been taking CBD oil now for going on 6 months. I take a few drops everymorning and go on with my day. I don't take any med for my anxiety any more and I have never felt better.
There are times when I need to take it in addition to my every morning ritual and I have bumped myself up to 100mg in place of the 50mg. It suits me better in the area of lasting longer. Christmas day I was borderline forced to go to my boyfriend'so mothers house for dinner. Little did I know she had invited a bunch of people. Many of whom... are judgmental idiots. Even though I know they have no grounds to judge me I still let them get the best of me. All of the people in that small 2 bedroom double wide set me into a panice/anxiety attck. Worse then I had had all year. My boyfriend went a got my oil for me and with in 10 minutes I was able to stand and not shake like a leaf.

The bottles are nice and small 30 ml bottles so you can easily carry in your purse or bag. They have all new kinds of things like gummies, edibles, cape liquids and more. I will share my coupons with our all here and any info I get on new items as well. 
There are other times I have needed but that's not why I'm writing this. You might be asking your self what is CBD oil? Is it legal? Here is a little quote from Diamond for you "CBD is a natural constituent of hemp that has been shown to have positive health benefits, without causing psychoactive effects. CBD-rich hemp provides a legal alternative to medical marijuana and allows the consumer to enjoy the benefits of CBD without the risk of getting high. Since CBD has no psychoactive effect, it is an excellent option for people seeking the benefits of cannabis products without breaking federal law or risking impairment."
I think it's time we told our anxiety who is boss.
