TO CBD OR NOT TO CBD?
If you have read any online content regarding CBD (the term for cannabidiol),), you will know that the messaging can be confusing and/or overwhelming with facts and information and lots of pros and cons. Therefore, as a person who is in the “thick” of medical issues, I think it might be helpful to wade through all the rhetoric and medical journal articles and learn about CBD from a person who has Lupus who has seen first – hand seen many positive benefits.
Please note – Every person is different and will have their own story.

MY WHY FOR CBD?
I was willing to try anythingto ease my pain which was making it difficult for me to fall and stay asleep.
Thankfully, I discovered that CBD infused edibles often would work for me and relieve my symptoms more than the prescribed or over the counter medicines that were often suggested. I made sure to be transparent with my medical practitioners as I discussed that I was using CBD products with my physician. He concurred that using CBD or any alternative treatment to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation was acceptable for my patient care.

WHAT I EXPERIENCE WITH CBD
When I take CBD edibles such as the ones that are offered by Calm Sunshine, my body feels the impact in a timely manner. There is no long – term waiting period. The impact is rather quick and effective. CBD almost immediately calms me down, reduces my feelings of anxiousness and pain and inflammation in my lupus joints and nerves. Sleeping comes easier as my body is relaxed and my mind at ease.
Keep in mind I am referring to the non-THC forms of CBD – so there is no “high”.
One example of how I use CBD is that I will take an edible ‘gummy’ before I exercise. The fact that I am able to exercise at all is because CBD helps my body relieve tension and pain so that I can “move more” in addition to being able to exercise, CBD products such as the ones from Calm Sunshine helps my body to recover from a workout easier, as there is no tension and post workout cramping.
“Best of all, I have not experienced any harsh side – effects from taking and using CBD.”
