Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it definitely restless leg syndrome proper? Because I'm pretty sure the magnesium I started taking as a sleep aid also helps me avoid the foot and leg cramps that plague my family at night. (I still get some, but not terrible)

Magnesium is also a recommended supplement for migraines, apropos of nothing specific.

Our wings are not tired.

I'll try and sneak anything into her! My BIL cooks a lot for her. We are going to see what we can sneak into her food for supplements. He cooks a lot of Bahamian dishes with rice and veggies and soups and stews so it is easy to add anything. Since she says she will take gummies they do have melatonin with magnesium as an option.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I don't know what's legal in your/her state, Laura, but the guys at MedMen say that even if you aren't looking for a high, a *little* THC makes the CBD work better. I buy a tincture, and sometimes gummies, to help with my back/tailbone pain. I always get the lowest dose of THC I can find (my current go-to tincture is 30:1 CBD:THC). And if she's anything like me, the THC will also promote sleepiness.

BTW, I have two more bluesky codes if anyone wants them.

Epic, I'm going to look into that option while I am still in New York because it isn't going to be an option in Florida.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Laura, if she were having problems with leg cramps, potassium might help, Or have her eat a banana - would she accept that?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I use the "Naternal" brand CBD gummies with elderberry extract for my achey knees and ankles. They're 10 mg CDB, but I cut them in half, so I take 5 mg/day. That's generally enough to keep my joints happy (so to speak), and more than that triggers my anxiety. Also, they're yummy, which doesn't hurt. No THC in them, though. That's not legal in my state.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

People in war zones can post about their lives all they want. We don't have many rules here, but I'm thinking that would pass without Bureau and its discontents. Puts an unwanted dental cleaning in perspective, but the persistent lack of access does add some gravitas to that nonsense, and worse, I often get mobility-management tips at the end, how I should do x, y, z like their mother-in-laws or some shit. No, you should do something so cleaning my teeth isn't Bataan. It's illegal what they have going, technically.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Ohio only has medical cannabis (although recreational is on the ballot next month [I don't have any sense about whether it's going to pass or not]), but the list of conditions covered for medical cannabis is fairly extensive. And I actually got my medical cannabis card for stupid IBS pain that's gotten worse and isn't responding to meds. In fact, I went to the dispensary for the first time last night (which, amusingly, shares a parking lot with a McDonald's). It was like a cross between a pharmacy, a laboratory (pronounced la-BOR-a-tory), and an Apple store. I got gummies, because I'd rather not smoke or vape, and I appreciate a good sour gummy. Now I need to figure out what dose will work to get my stupid GI tract to chill the fuck out.
