I was contemplating suicide because of the pain and feeling hopeless

  • March 8, 2019

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.
