I wonder whether he mentioned CBD oil to you, it can be taken in various ways and pills are one of them.x

Hi, you can now buy CBD oil from Holland and Barrett. You can also buy it online in the UK from CBD Brothers. The H+B oil is the weakest I think, the CBD brothers have different strengths and also capsules. If I remember rightly you can find CBD brothers on Face Book.

I tried CBD oil but it caused a severe migraine, though I believe it can be taken to treat migraines, maybe I'm just unlucky!

I buy the Blue CBD oil from the CBD Brothers online (google them). It works for me and I couldn't cope without it after my neurologist told me to come off co-codamol as he said it didn't work for neuro pain. My GP said there was nothing else he could offer me, so the CBD has been a lifesaver for me.

It doesn't take away all the pain, but enough to keep me comfortable and reduces the muscle spasms enough to allow me to exercise, which also helps.

I have no hesitation in recommending the CBD Brothers, Andrew is a really necessary nice guy and their products are top quality and all organic. You also get a card with the test results on.

I put two drops and hold it in my mouth for three minutes. I put it on a large chocolate drop (the chefs type). x
