I do not understand the doctor I go to for my back pain. He has had me on strong pain meds for many years. The other day while in his office, I showed him a bottle of CBD oil that I have been taking. I tried it for the pain in my back and hand pain but found it did not help with either of them. What it did help with was my breathing. I have been having trouble getting a whole breath of air, it is like I can only get half of a breath of air. After taking a dropper of the oil I could breathe normally. I was trying to tell my doctor that I thought CBD oil was of great value to me, but all he did was cover his ears and shake his head no.
I do not question my doctor while in his office, but once I get home and think about what transpired I start wondering why he does not want to hear about something that helps me breathe. Now I am thinking that maybe he gets kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies and that is why he will not explore using CBD oil. If I could find anything that would take the back pain away, I would tell him that I wanted off these meds and what I was taking rather it be legal or not.
I told him that when I left his office, I was going across the street and buying a bottle of CBD oil because the one I had was gone. The bottle I had someone had given it to me. I showed it to the store's CBD dealer, and he assured me that what he had was better. I wasted my money, I might as well be taking olive oil.
I was telling my son about it, and later he told me that I had some coming in the mail. It came today. I tried to take one half of a dropper but sucked on it and ended up taking the entire dropper. I had a great 4 hour nap and I was not having trouble breathing.
