Well I tried an A-B-A protocol with a CBD patch and found no observable effect. Testing used the Tesla center console on long distance, +4 hours, to observe pain operating the center console. This is an important part of FSD. The baseline got to the point I would sometimes use my left hand to control some screen functions instead of of the right, my dominant and normally closest to the screen. After a +4 hour drive, showered and put on a CDB patch. In the next 48 hours, another long drive and no discernible change. The patch has been off 24 hours but there is no indication of any symptom change. There may even be other CBD oils that are more effective and perhaps using a cream instead of patch. Still this matches a British Lancet report: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(23)00196-5/fulltext Bob Wilson
Our friend puts the drops on his tongue, it's easy to see when he has missed taking it, he really struggles to get around. The other benefit he has seen, the 3 mths to get your affairs in order expired a number of yrs ago, this recent visit and the oncologist gave him another 2 yrs before he needs to see him again, the numbers have improved that much ..... so it looks like we'll be hearing the same stories on repeat for a few yrs yet T1 Terry
Nothing like Pink Floyd nice and loud through the hearing aids, better than headphones .... wanna be for the $11,000 price tag, 64 channels for each ear, so tuning to suit my dyno tuning induced deafness brings back the joy of listening to music again .... incredible what they can do these days, can't hear much at all without them ......

I know people who use and swear by CBD, and I know people who think it's snake oil. Telecommunications AND the military are hard on joints and some my hinges are getting a little loose and creaky. Getting old isn't for wimps.... When (if) the pain gets bad enough for me to go to the body and fender shop for some suspension work I might consider something stronger than OTC analgesics for pain management. Given some of the trouble a portion of our population gets into with with pills, I might just try vodka first instead.... If I were independently wealthy I might be tempted to try Hippie Lettuce, but I've seen what it does to some of the humans I've grown up with. HARD PASS. I'll take my chances with hooch if it comes to that, thanks just the same. NOT Judging. I just don't wish to depart this life in a cloud of hideously offensive burnt-rope smoke while contemplating the deep inner meaning of Rice Krispies popping in my cereal bowl.
