Summary
Medical marijuana in the form of CB2 hemp seed oil capsules, two taken nightly after dinner, was used by a woman who had been severely ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for eight months, mostly bedridden. Within one week she saw dramatic results, and by three weeks she had roughly doubled her daily step count from about 3,500 to over 7,000, could go out to see friends and run errands, and said she felt almost normal again. She also reported improved sleep from the first night and less inflammation in a previously injured wrist. Posted shortly after starting the product, her account gives no longer-term follow-up on whether the improvement held.
