I also get leg cramps occasionally; a tsp of yellow mustard taken orally in the kitchen will cure the cramps before I get back to the bedroom. FYI

Have you considered increasing the dose for a few days to see what happens? Knowing how restorative sleep can be (from both a physical and mental perspective) it might be worth a try as long as your doctor in onboard with it.

I wish there was more peer-reviewed research in this area.

From the bottom of my heart, please know that I am hoping you are on the mend.

My food trigger is potatoes. They cause severe leg cramping and it does not matter if they are peeled or unpeeled, organic or not. For years doctors thought I was nuts and being dumb, I keep eating them. Two years ago I stopped eating potatoes of any type and guess what? I rarely get leg cramps anymore, perhaps 3x a year at most.

Hoping you are now off Pepsi!

I will need to look into it.

I agree with you about more research and some regulation. The issue with regulation is that big pharma will take control, require a script, and prices will get even more expensive.

Capsules are such an easy way to take CBD that I wish they came is smaller doses. I am afraid to take the 25mg myself because of brain fog after the fact. Plus, the expense in overkill.

And yes yes yes. For arthritis, couple CBD with topical use of either CBD salve, essential oil salve, or miracle salve (also essential oils). It seems like a lot of hassle but it is better than those arthritis drugs that come with severe side effects.
