Has anybody tried CBD oil for pain management for Endometriosis??

Hi

As I’m currently taking over 30 tablets a day I am trying to look at natural options for pain management ?

Thank you

30 tablets a day can’t be doing you any good.

I recommend it, I got mine from cbd brothers. It’s not a miracle cure but I think with diet adjustments and gentle regular exercise you’ll feel much better xx

No thats not good , 30 tablets a day. I was on alot until i got so sick ended up in hosp and they had given me hep A! Basically liver failure. All those tablets have to b broken down by ur liver and can b toxic.

U really need to find another way through it believe me when i say ur wished u had not taken all them tablets.

I take cbd brothers or cbdsense. Medihemp , highest one. Also i totally changed my lifestlye. I cut out all imflammatory foods so gluten, dairy, red meats and that changed my life.

I lost two stone and i feel

So much better.

The only time i result to tablets is trans acid on 3 days of period and i couldnt b without them. Plus a few paracetamol and that if im literally dying. I have found ice pack helps me more then heat as gp told me ur putting a hot water bottle on a already inflammed stomach ... when u think about it make sense. Ice pack calms the inflammation down massively.

I was so bad last month i was doubled up on landing on all fours and as soon as my husband got the icepack out within 15 mins i had gone from a 10 to a 2 on pain scale....

Oh yeh also what i found were really good when i was actually on period was buscopan! Stops the cramps and bloating massively

Hi thank you for your reply and I could not agree with you more!

I’m a nutritionist so I know how powerful food can be and it is our medicine.

The issue I have is my endo is stage 4 so when the pain kicks in it feels like I’m in labour.

I recently had a liver scan and blood test as I was concerned for the possible damage but luckily it was all fine.

That’s why I have tried the prostap injection to try and stop taking all this medication. I have to say it has made my pain far worse.

I have tried so many homeopathic remedies and meditation and acupuncture to name a few and nothing touches that raw brutal pain.

I am going to order a sample of cpd and try it I have nothing to lose.

Thanks again!

Bless you, it sounds very painful I hope you get a reprise sometime soon xxx

[Lulububs in reply to Sunflower1968]

Im so sorry nothing works.

Yeh try the cbd some say the vaping works best for them. I just take the oil on the tongue and it work but when im done with this oil i may try the vape.

See what the difference is.

Hi I took your advice about the ice packs what a revelation wow it helped so much. It makes perfect sense that inflammation needs ice but in my mind I associat heat with pain relief.

I have began my tapering off my medications and have almost halved my tablets from 30 to 16 already.

I’m back on track with my nutrition too, I know exactly what I need to do and I’m going to do it.

I’ve ordered some cbd oil and I have set an alarm in my head to do my breathing every hour Just to allow my brain to have some space.

So thank you for your input and great advice it’s really appreciated x

Hi Sunflower,

I replied to Nat's post today about CBD then when having a nosey through other posts regarding CBD I spotted yours so I thought I'd copy and paste my reply to Nat in case it helps you. Hopefully by now you've found a good cbd company (I've done so much research and personally feel Simply CBD, CBD Brothers and Love CBD are some of the best going off reviews and lab reports). I was concerned to read you're on 30 tablets a day as I've been similar and ended up with erosive gastritis, hence the search for managing pain more naturally. Hope the below is of some use to you! Xx

Yes I'm taking CBD. I'm taking this one which is equivalent to the H&B one but has added CBDA which is good for pain and inflammation: simply-cbd.co.uk/product/si... and a hell of a lot cheaper if you find the H&B one useful and continue using cbd. I've been researching so much lately and there's a fab Facebook private group called Simply CBD Users. You can discuss any brand and 23,000 users on there advise you plus fantastic admins. I was lost before finding the group as I didn't know what I was doing and started out on too high a dose. You can post any questions on there and/or if you see anyone commenting on Simply CBD Green know that's the same as the H&B one but with added CBDA. Annoyingly due to extreme stress and erratic blood pressure of late I had to cut back on the drops as I just couldn't fit them in with all the other meds I'm taking (lots of conditions I'm battling). I'm going to do a post on here about my experiences with cbd in a couple of months once the full effects take place but for now I can tell you this is what I've experienced...

Started out on 800mg entourage oil from Love CbD for about 4 weeks but I was pretty haphazard with taking it, switched to Simply CBD Green 250 2 weeks prior to period after discovering you're meant to start low and slow. Within days I felt more grounded and less anxious (I'm on antidepressants for ptsd depression and panic attacks). I'd already experienced gobsmacking results with Love CBD balm for endo related back pain, sciatica and moderate ovary pain (where I would have needed to take ibuprofen). The balm works immediately- with the drops you need to take them 2 hrs away from most meds and 4 hrs away from anything that reacts with grapefruit (blood pressure meds, antidepressants, etc) but with the balm and vape you can use it whenever as it doesn't go via the liver. Due to very bad stomach lining, digestive tract damage and inhaling stomach acid into the airways causing an asthma attack (all caused by NSAIDs) I had to go through my first endo flare in 20 years without nsaids, codeine and tramadol. I have stage 4 severe pain so I was pretty damn terrified. Between Nurofen Ibuprofen 200mg 24hr transdermal patch and taking 3 drops a day of CBD Green, regularly applying the balm and using a cbd vape I managed to take no oral painkillers except paracetamol (2 hot water bottles back and front also). The vape I used was Simply CBD Moon. I found it very effective for relaxation and helping me get to sleep during pain. A lot of people use it as a top up for pain relief but I'm still experimenting with it. My period was a hell of a lot lighter and seemed 'healthier'. I usually get a lot of dark blood, this time was noticeably bright red and more 'normal'. I usually have to take anti-sickness meds throughout. This time nausea did kick in at the beginning and then disappeared. No horrific pain that causes me to black out. A lot less bloating. It's early days so don't want to promise too much to others but to say it's been interesting is an understatement.

What I'd suggest is really educating yourself on cbd and how to use it. The drops are a bit like supplements and take time to build up. Quite often it seems people feel noticeable effects after 5-8 weeks and then gradually build up to a stronger oil. For me this month I would say it's replaced tramadol and codeine and anti sickness drugs (tho it could have been a coincidence) but I do wish I could still take an anti inflammatory (ibuprofen/naproxen etc) to be able to get on with the day. I am recommending the balm to everyone. If you go on Love CBD site and contact them they sometimes have free samples so def worth asking them and trying it. I would also definitely join the Facebook group Simply CBD Users and have a good browse/ask questions. It's so frustrating that cbd is helping so many people but due to laws it can only be advertised as a food supplement and companies are not allowed to advise on pain control etc so it's down to users to educate each other.

Good luck and feel free for to get in touch if you have any questions but as I say it's pretty early (interesting!) days for me so the best bet would be to join the Simply CBD Users group and get guidance from the 23,000 users on there. They've been incredibly helpful and friendly regarding my endless questions xx

Many thanks for your reply I appreciate it and it’s very informative x

Hi, yes I have been taking the drops and it has helped me sooo much. I don’t take any painkillers unless it’s extremely painful but for daily management it’s working 💗

[Sunflower1968 in reply to LovingVibes]

Great thank-you 🙏🏼
