Raise the Realm Day 3: Fernanda- Autoimmune

  • March 6, 2019

Raise the Realm Day 3: Fernanda- Autoimmune

En Español

(Read in English Here)

Mi nombre es Fernanda y vivo en Argentina, tengo 6 hijos y 3 nietos. Padezco desde hace 15 años de fibromialgia y desde hace 7 años neuralgia del trigémino. Llamado también dolor suicida. Ambas enfermedades no son mortales ni terminales pero tan dolorosas que pueden afectar terriblemente la vida.

La neuralgia del trigémino comenzó con una pequeña electricidad en la cara en forma esporádica y luego de ser diagnosticada y medicada, avanzó año a año, como así la cantidad de medicaciones o tratamientos realizados, alopáticos, homeopáticos, acupuntura etc, sin ningún resultado. El año pasado las crisis eran tan fuertes que el mas mínimo pestañeo, respirar, comer o cualquier rose, me provocaban descargas eléctricas insoportables. Estaba terminando una carrera después de 4 años que realicé con mucho sacrificio y veía que con el dolor lacerante que avanzaba no iba a poder terminarla.

Entre otras consecuencias de esta enfermedad, puedo mencionar el aislamiento, la tristeza, el terror por realizar tareas simples como cepillarme los dientes, o tan esenciales como dar un beso a mis seres queridos. Mi familia me sostenía y acompañaba con mucho amor, y sufrían impotentes por no poder hacer nada y ver mi sufrimiento. En octubre del 2016 saque turno con mi medica decidida a operarme, a pesar de la resistencia de ella debido a los serios riesgos de la operación y sus posibles secuelas. Una semana antes del turno con mi neuróloga escuche en la radio sobre el tratamiento con el aceite medicinal de cannabis y me contacte con el padre de una niña con epilepsia refractaria y que gracias al tratamiento había disminuido las 54 convulsiones diarias a ninguna.

Así que en octubre comencé con el aval de los prestigiosos médicos que me estaban tratando el tratamiento con Charlotte`s Web, y a los 15 días el dolor había disminuido al 60 % comencé a poder sonreír, hablar sin miedo, comer normalmente, dormir. Hace ya 6 meses que estoy con este nuevo tratamiento la neuralgia me disminuyo totalmente y los médicos están muy sorprendidos y contentos de los avances y la eficacia. Pude terminar mi carrera, reincorporarme a la vida social, besar a mis seres queridos y sonreír. Mis seres queridos también sonríen.

Tengo la esperanza de que el aceite medicinal puede ser la respuesta a tantas enfermedades incurables o llevar paz y alivio a las personas que las padecen y sus seres queridos.

¡Done para apoyar más historias como éstas!

In English

My name is Fernanda, I live in Argentina and I have 6 kids and 3 grandchildren. I was diagnosed 15 years ago with Fibromyalgia and 7 years ago with Trigeminal Neuralgia also called “Suicide Pain”. Both diseases are not mortal nor terminal, but they are so painful, they affect your life terribly.

My Trigeminal Neuralgia started with a little tingle electricity like sensation sporadically and then it turned into a diagnosis. After being medicated, every year, it got worse as the number of medications increased. I did allopathic, homeopathic and acupuncture treatments with no results. Last year, my crisis were so strong that I could not blink, breath, eat or touch anything without having an electric charge that caused me unbelievable pain. I was about to finish my degree, but the pain did not permit me to finish.

Another consequence of this terrible disease is that it made me lonely, sad and I was terrified to brush my teeth or to kiss my loved ones. My family was supporting me, but they were suffering because they could not help me. In October 2016, I went to schedule a surgery with my Doctor who was against it due to the risk and side effects of the surgery. A week before my appointment with my doctor, I heard about CBD on the radio and I contacted the father of a child whose daughter was using the oil and went from having 54 seizures a day to none.

So, I started Charlotte’s Web with the help of my doctors and 15 days after taking Charlotte’s Web Hemp Extract, my pain had reduced 60%! I started smiling, talking without fear of pain, eating and sleeping. Today, 6 months later after using Charlotte’s Web, my neuralgia is completely out. The Doctors are very surprised about the efficacy of the oil. I could finish my degree, I went back to having a social life, kiss my loved ones and smile. My family is smiling as well.

I hope that this oil could be the answer to so many incurable diseases and that it will bring peace and alleviate all those people who suffer and their families.
