I survived a catastrophic motorcycle accident 2 years ago and I'm still dealing with surgeries. I HATE pain pills and try not to use them or any synthetics if possible. I tried the Cruise gummies and I have to say they helped me with the nagging pain as well as allowed me to get a full night's rest. And when you sleep, you heal. I started with 1 gummy as suggested but have moved to 4 per night when needed, otherwise, 2 will do fine. Two gummies will help with sleep. I gave a pack to my friend who has been having horrible trouble sleeping (and he has a medical card) and these worked the first night he tried them (he took 2). Not everyone's metabolism is the same so follow the directions and go slow. This has also helped with the major inflammation I have due to the accident. Waking up isn't difficult either. You just have to get going. Once your blood flow kicks in, you're back in the swing. Sleeping pills DONT do that. They make you feel like you're dragging a bag of cement around all day. I just placed a 6-month order today as it will definitely save money. Keep your eyes on the emails from Tommy because they throw promotions for discounts out every once in a while. I hope they work for you as they did for me. "Better Living Through Chemistry"
