I am no longer depressed or suicidal

Written by Laura 

I joined the Navy in 1994. Seven years before retirement I fell down a flight of stairs and severely injured my spine and neck. I didn’t receive proper treatment until the pain was so bad I was removed from sea commands permanently and placed on medical board for removal from service. After physical therapy, extensive cortisone shots throughout my body, psychological pain therapy, TMS therapy, and 18+ pain medicines, muscle relaxers and SSRIs, I was honorably retired.

I attempted suicide in 2011 and again in 2013 – the second time was right after my retirement. For six months, I cut myself off from the world and began to detox my body. I suffered from extreme pain and extreme physiological effects from the prescription pills but I was convinced that if I didn’t, I would die; even if it was my own hand. I had a dear friend recommend cannabis, a plant that I have never seen, let alone tried as an adolescent or young adult. At 39 years old, I learned how to make edibles and it has changed my life.

Today, I am no longer depressed or suicidal. I have regained the ability to perform basic daily functions to include showering and dressing myself. I am a cancer survivor, a fibromyalgia survivor, a military sexual trauma survivor and I KNOW that cannabis saved my life. Because I took the chance and used cannabis, I am not a statistic. I am not one of the veterans who took their own life. I am now a mom, a wife, a retiree, a college student (Master’s) and an educator of everyone I meet that cannabis is a wonderful plant.

We now know this oil is a true blessing and one day soon we will wean off of some seizure meds.

What does Realm of Caring mean to you?

Realm of Caring has given me and my family so much hope. They have given us so much support, help, love, and kindness. For all this our family is very grateful, we are very blessed, and thank God every day this company and these wonderful people have come to help all of us parents, caregivers, and families and given much-needed hope!!!!!

Tell us your story.

My name is Tracie, and I am mother and caregiver to our son, Alex, who has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) due to a motor vehicle accident in 1997 when he was age 4. He is now 26 and he is a wonderful, happy young man. He loves the outdoors, jeeping, and 4×4. We recently tried Charlotte’s Web CBD oil. I gave Alex his last dose on July 21st, 2018 because we wanted to see if it was working or if it was the seizure meds. We found when we stopped using it, his seizures came back. This time his seizures are harder and more frequent.

We now know this oil is a true blessing and one day soon we will wean off of some seizure meds. I am one happy momma. There are no words that can express how happy and excited we are. One day our goal with Alex is to visit the amazing farm and the young men responsible for getting our son back. Much love and happiness.

Marijuana gave me my life back

Written by Morgan in 2015

My name is Morgan and I am a 28-year-old with Multiple sclerosis (MS). I’ve had MS for 11 years and I have been on various medicines including several narcotic pain pills and sleeping pills. At one point I was taking 28 pills a day and not functional. In addition to being a business owner, I am a mother of two and a wife. I never smoked marijuana or was interested in it my entire life until the pain became so unbearable and I was literally becoming a zombie with prescription medicines.

Marijuana gave me my life back. I cannot be any clearer. I am able to smoke and feel a difference in pain within seconds and still have functionality. I rub CBD balm on my legs to stop the pain from crippling me – all illegally. I am a law-abiding citizen but risk myself every day. It is important that we move in a direction that helps and serves people. Regulations can determine the rest, but we need a forward outcome. Imagine laying naked on steel and feeling that cold burn up against your skin — you would do anything to take that dull pain away. I am now able to be a mother, business owner, and wife because of my choice in unconventional medicine. I do not think I should also be jailed for that.

Note: Morgan wrote to us in 2015 and lived in Nebraska at the time. Currently, medical marijuana (products containing more than 0.3% THC) is not an option for residents of Nebraska, but thanks to the Farm Bill passing in 2018, CBD products made from industrial hemp (containing less than 0.3% THC) are legal in all 50 states.

In just a few weeks on the CBD oil, I am already seeing more movement in my foot and leg.

Written by Molly

I am a 29-year-old woman who has had intractable epilepsy (resistant to medication) for 19 years. I had my first of six brain surgeries at age 10 to stop a pretty severe brain bleed. The damage to surrounding brain tissue is what has lead to my seizure disorder. In the last 19 years, I have tried all of the anticonvulsant drugs available to me, including several drug studies. I had little or no success.

I have recently found some success with my current drug combination as well as the addition of CBD oil. I feel very fortunate to live in a state that allows people with epilepsy to obtain CBD oil. I feel that it should be allowed for those children and adults with epilepsy and other chronic conditions that could benefit from its use. I have had about an 80% reduction in seizure activity but, what I am also seeing are the restorative benefits of the CBD oil. One of the brain surgeries I had as a teenager left me completely paralyzed on the left side of my body. I needed to learn to walk, talk, and use all the muscles of that side of my body again.

In just a few weeks on the CBD oil, I am already seeing more movement in my foot and leg. Something I never got in years of physical therapy! I am a big believer in the benefits of CBD oil for individuals with epilepsy because I have experienced it first hand. I hope more individuals get access soon.

We have been able to go out and travel without being worried sick about her seizures.

Written by a mom who wishes to stay anonymous

You have no idea how grateful we are with this CBD oil, our daughter has changed in a significant way. She´s sleeping better, her appetite is amazing, she´s more aware of her surroundings, and her squint eye seems to get better every day. Not to mention that her seizures have dropped to about 1 every 3 months (WOW!!!). The most exciting thing is that pre-school is now a reality, she has recently started and she´s enjoying it tons!

We have also been able to go out and travel without being worried sick about her seizures. I would love to mention that my relatives are also doing better than ever, it was hard for them to know that we were always on alert and that we might have to run to the hospital because she would seize.

Buying a bottle of CBD oil meant that I had to look for extra shifts and a bank loan. The currency exchange during recent months has been outrageous, one dollar meant 19 pesos for us (we live in Mexico). Now we have been able to focus on other things like house adaptations for our daughter. We have also been able to buy her splints as she has some stiffness in both of her Achilles’ tendons. We´ve also been able to pay for her doctor´s appointments. We have a sort of Medicaid but unfortunately, the doctor they allocated us wasn’t ok with cannabidiol (CBD) treatment so we had to look for another doctor which is outside coverage but is giving us a small discount. So now we can follow-up with him even more often. We´ve been able to redeem the coupon code you’ve provided to us and only pay for shipping. The assistance the RoC is giving us is such a blessing.

The impact from the RoC is way too much! Like I´ve mentioned previously we can now see for a better way of living for us and our daughter. The whole family is just overwhelmed by how she has progressed and how her seizures have decreased. They have been through a lot with us, going to the hospital, staying with her for days in the hospital, etc. I have to tell you, we had to cancel two of her birthday celebrations as she seized either the night before or on her birthday. We are all very happy with her progress. You can´t imagine how happy her cousins are as she can now attend various events, she even went to a baseball game last week!! My whole family and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the opportunity you are giving our daughter for a better chance at life. We can’t express and thank you enough for how much you are doing for us.

Note: This family receives financial assistance through our Realm Cares™ Grant Program.

The brain fog from my fibromyalgia has lifted and my energy levels are up!

Written by Anonymous

I currently have severe adrenal fatigue, to the point when active I suddenly hit a brick wall and can’t move, feeling completely incapacitated.  I take 15-20 drops of high CBD oil and within ten minutes I have a second wind. It’s so subtle I didn’t even realize it at first. A friend was staying with me, observed it twice, and commented, “Your energy completely changed.”  I also noticed the brain fog associated with fibromyalgia seems to lift for several hours. I’ve had two friends comment over the phone how much more energetic I sound to them than previously.  

My doctor is very interested as he sees the change too. He will be joining the research link you sent me, he’d love for me to continue on with this product to observe the changes as well.

Thank you so much and I think of you and everyone else at the RoC as we’re all one big family 😉

I appreciate everything you and the RoC do for me.
