I wrote this update on Tuesday 6th June...the work lurgy really did win but I'll post this update from Tuesday and follow up with a two week update tomorrow 🦄

It has been just over a week of taking the new bottle of Elixinol CBD Hemp oil. Right now I am at home suffering from the workplace lurgy, it would appear that no amount of supplements, stretching, walking, or CBD hemp oil will stop that evil virus!

So, while I am feeling crapola, I can still reflect on the past week of taking the higher concentration of CBD hemp oil. Overall I felt very flat last week, low energy and had the odd over-heating moments at night. There's a high likelihood that I am also peri-menopausal - or as my friend Amy and I now call it 'peri-peri nandopause'...you've got to find the funny sometimes! It's like the second you turn 40 and sneeze a doctor puts it under 'peri-menopause'! That's a whole other world of testing I can't wait to look forward to...sarcasm also helps.

While I may have been feeling very low and uninspired all week I did not need to take any panadol osteo. It wasn't until some tooth pain on Sunday night, a precursor to this evil lurgy, that I needed to take some panadol osteo.

I still had pain during the week, quite bad in the upper area of my spine, between the upper should blade areas, and it increased throughout the week. I couldn't stretch it away. A class I did on Sunday morning actually helped relieve this pain - Bump & Grindercise class with the fabulous L'amour. This is not your usual exercise class, it's fun! A mix of 50s & 60s dance moves and core exercises with many taking up L'amour's invitation to wear your best & glamorous lingerie. It was the first exercise class (not including yoga or clinical pilates as they're very low impact) I have done since my Ankylosing Spondylitis diagnosis in late December. I was pretty happy to have made it through without any joints or limbs going into pain. As someone who loved being on stage dancing - I did both bellydancing and burlesque, it's fun to go to a class like L'amour's - also a well known burlesque performer, and unleash my inner stage diva!

I'm now half way through week two with the CBD hemp oil. It's got to work extra hard with this lurgy....it all better disappear by Friday, I have tickets to Dita Von Teese show and I want to feel amazing by then!

Two week CBD hemp oil - the work lurgy got me!
