Liam’s Story

Since I began taking CBD oil, my complex partial seizures have been REDUCED to about half as often. I used to have them about twice a week but only about once a week since CBD. It has also reduced my auras a lot. I used to have auras almost every day but now it’s down to about twice a week thanks to the CBD oil.

The grant helped me save enough money to see a chiropractor for my back pain, pay the housing bills, and feed my hungry body. I have the grant helping me afford some of the other neurologist prescribed medicine that I take with my CBD oil.

When I first decided to take CBD oil, I started out with Charlotte’s Web  “least powerful but more affordable” dosage. Unfortunately, nothing was getting better until I went all the way up to their most powerful but highest price dosage. I chose to keep paying the high price so things would be better for my health but financially got worse. Thanks to the grant, I have been able to stay healthy while overcoming my financial challenge.

I was contemplating suicide because of the pain and feeling hopeless

Now my worst days are better than my best days before CBD. My fibromyalgia symptoms have decreased by 80% with some days not having any symptoms. That hasn’t happened in over 25 years! My headaches and the pressure in my head are gone. I no longer suffer from interstitial cystitis or any painful bladder symptoms or the regular UTIs I was having. My blood pressure has returned to normal and I sleep like a baby. Arthritis and other joint pain has gone from a 7-10 on the pain scale to 2-4.  

I think the biggest miracle is that I’ve been able to stop all pain and sleep medications and had no withdrawal symptoms. I had been taking 4 Norcos a day for over 25 years and stopped them within a couple of months. I had tried stopping them in the past but the withdrawal symptoms were too much. I NO LONGER HAVE TO TAKE OPIATES OR AMBIEN!!

Before taking CBD I was contemplating suicide because of the pain and feeling hopeless. I’ve been able to start a Facebook group for seniors helping seniors and encourage members to look into using CBD. Most are low-income and feeling desperate so I referred them to RoC for help. Your kindness and generosity have made me feel hopeful again and I look forward to helping others.

Improved Health Outcomes!

Celeste’s autism symptoms and seizures have improved greatly since starting Charlotte’s Web CBD oil and she has been taken off one of her traditional medications since being on the oil.

If we didn’t receive the grant we wouldn’t be able to afford Charlotte’s Web for Celeste. We would be stuck with the traditional medications that were no longer working. I like Charlotte’s Web because it has no negative side effects.

My kids feel that it is really cool that y’all help us so they don’t have to go without some of the extras that the grant has allowed us to have. I am just grateful that people like you exist and are so generous.

Alternative to antidepressants

The cannabinoid therapy has helped me in many ways such as constipation relief from rare illness (SMAS) and a better sense of well being. My current health prognosis is I will not get better as I have dealt with this rare illness since 11/2010 and struggle daily with severe fatigue, abdominal pain, constipation, lack of normal digestion, etc. Plus cancer, aneurysm, and damaged spinal cord T6. I stopped using the oil and I got back on it as it helps with many things such as increased energy, sense of well-being, and helps a little with severe chronic pain.

This treatment gives me a better mood without taking antidepressants. I notice a huge difference when I take it daily and when I stop for a week so I can tell the difference. It does help once I load in my system (endocannabinoid) and I have also tried taking more such as 1 mL three times a day but it affected my liver so I dropped back down to .5 mL twice a day.

CBD has improved my child’s life

Bradley is autistic. Health wise he is okay, as far as I know, he can’t tell me. Cannabinoid therapy has helped with his violent meltdowns, eye contact, and his concentration. It has not helped with his language, still non-verbal. I would say his meltdowns have improved by 90%.

This is my theory: autistic children have lots of inflammation. Inflammation causes pain and the pain caused his violent meltdowns. CBD reduces inflammation, which took his pain away. I kept taking Bradley to doctors saying it looks like he’s in pain and all these doctors just ignored me and wanted to put him on psych meds, which I never did. I’m so happy I found CBD, it has improved my child’s life.

CBD is expensive. I’m a single mother of a severely autistic child. I am a nurse but had to quit my job because I couldn’t find daycare for my child. Plus, trying to work full-time and take care of a disabled child all by yourself is extremely physically and mentally exhausting. I want the best for my child and it so hard to do that when you can’t work. I am so grateful for this grant.

Bradley has violent meltdowns and as he gets older he gets stronger. If I didn’t find CBD Bradley could have been seriously injured or dead from his meltdowns. I believe it has saved his life.

Fibromyalgia pain is crippling

For years I have dealt with chronic pain, muscle spasms and nerve pain and my doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Along with severe fatigue, I had a hard time managing daily life activities and work.  Brain fog consumed me. I couldn’t concentrate or keep my train of thought. I lost the ability to carry meaningful conversations because I couldn’t grasp my words.  Eventually my doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia.  

I started taking cannabis oils and using vape pens a couple of years ago and have seen an incredible difference.  I use a combination of THC and CBD in addition to topical balms for the pain. 

After a few weeks I starting seeing changes and in a few months I could say confidently that I have my life back!

Not all stories are success stories

Payton’s health has not improved. She is having complications with her stomach. She has been vomiting and coughing. Her stomach will not digest properly.  She had a G-tube placed and it has helped some. The CBD oil has helped with Payton’s pain and sleeping. I do believe her seizures have slowed down a bit since she has been on CBD.

He had his first full week of NO seizures day or night!!

|
|

Jensen has improved over this last year, and especially this last month. I am giving a ton of credit to the hemp oil that we are giving him at night.  Jensen almost always has had seizures every night- but since adding this cannabis oil only at night, he had his first full week of NO seizures day or night!! This is huge for Jensen.  We are grateful that we have found this product, this program, and Realm of Caring. Every time we have called in, the customer service people are so helpful and understanding!  

This grant money has absolutely helped our financial situation as it has allowed me to have more money to go towards other medical bills, groceries and for the rest of our kids.  Over the past 2 years of searching for something to help my son and his seizures, our savings account and anything extra has been depleted.

The greatest blessing has been allowing us to do some extra activities as a family- as we have not been able to do anything like that for a while.

Living with GI issues

I’ve been experiencing abdominal cramping and hot flashes before a bowel movement, waking up at night with hot flashes, cramps, and severe diarrhea. My only relief would come after a bowel movement.

My GI Doctor decided to run some tests to eliminate cancer. I immediately went home started on cannabis oil/hash oil and ordered a high CBD oil.

After using the cannabis oil (high in THC) the next morning the cramping reduced by 80%, stools were firming up, and hot flashes reduced dramatically. On day two my symptoms were gone. I started the CBD oil around day 3 and cut back on the high THC oil until I eliminated the THC oil completely.

I’m only using CBD only now and feeling great, my system is back on track and I take 1/8 tsp twice a day.

The help & info from ROC is fantastic!
