So 18 days ago i started cbd oil for my pains i get from my autoimmune condition ankylosing spondylitis 

i make some of my own pills and i take one before i go to bed

 i am using coconut oil to mix with the cbd paste

i have heard it is a good oil to mix with coconut oil because cbd works better with another fat to be absorbed easier in the body

the drops i take under my tongue 2 to 3 times a day

so far in 18 days i have noticed some pain reduction 

and i sleep throughout the night now where before i was waking up at least 3 to 4 times in the night because of my back pain and tenderness around my ribcage 

i will continue to use this so i will update again in another 18 days from now
