So when I first started feeling the effects of restless leg syndrome, it was really weird.
Initially, I thought it was just something else and I blew it off as just a weird muscle spasm.
Prior to figuring out how to get my medical marijuana card, I went to see my doctor after this went on for a couple of weeks. That’s when I first heard the term restless leg syndrome. Again, it sounded like something somebody just made up on the spot. And it wasn’t like my legs were restless as much as I felt compelled to move my legs. It was a feeling that drove me crazy. Before I got access to the legal weed store, I tried the drugs. They made it a big less intense but I still wasn’t getting a full night’s sleep. I’d fall asleep only to have that feeling wake me up and once that happened, I might as well get up and walk around a bit. Not the way to get the rest you need that’s for sure. So on the advice of a friend I was able to navigate the cannabis rules to get access to the cannabis dispensary. The staff was quite aware of the condition and had certain cannabis products that were known to work. These days, I nibble on a cannabis gummy about an hour before bed. And then, I put on some relaxing music and just stretch my body out. Thanks to the medical cannabis, I’m sleeping through the night now.
