My wife uses CBD tincture to treat one of the symptoms of her MS and it works better for her than any prescription medication that she has ever been given. I have tried it for my RLS and the only benefit that I have seen is that it works great on the rare occasions where my RLS causes an anxiety or ...

AriaLittlhous, since you mentioned advil pm, you may need to be careful with that one. Most of the OTC products like it contain a first generation antihistamine such as Benedryl.

I took iron sulfate (Nature's Bounty 65mg Fe as 325mg FeSO4) and a 400mg Vitamin C tablet mid-morning on an empty stomach. I did that daily for about 4 years. I started with a ferritin level of 42 (I think). Earlier this year I stopped because my ferritin had jumped from about 300 to 650 in six mont...

Tuesday, July 10 Welcome to Lonnie, who is 67 yrs old and have just been diagnosed with RLS. In retrospect Lonnie has had RLS for most of Lonnie's adult life, but it was sporadic - until about 6 years ago due to an emotional trauma with not much relief from RLS since then. Lonnie is sleep deprived m...

I think that most of us have found that the only benefits from CBD have been to symptoms other than controlling movements. In my case, CBD is very effective as a treatment for RLS induced anxiety attacks. Several of us have found that lower doses of THC, just enough to get slightly stoned, helps wit...
