Cbd oil

Hi all,

Picked up a low strength cbd oil for £5 last wkd so thought id give it a try. Its only been a week so i dont know really if its making a difference or not, think youre supposed to build it up in your system so ive read. I dont take any prescribed drugs or asprin so cant see a reason not to try it, anyone had any luck with it for endo?

Hey there 😊

I started taking CBD oil about 6 weeks ago...I was going to make a post to see if anyone had had any success or reviews too so will be interested to see the response.

What strength did you buy? How are you finding the taste? 🙈

I was taking 2 drops of 500mg a day and I found it actually really helped. I started to spot in between periods for a week before/after my period and have quite a few cramps and pains and generally was starting to feel rubbish for most of the month.

After a week or so taking CBD it all stopped and I actually felt human again. I’ve not experienced a flare up while taking it though so can’t comment on the full effect but I’d definitely recommend it from the experience I have had.

Just make sure you do your research about it and read how it works and how best to take so you get the most out of it, which is actually really interesting. 😊

Hi Ema,

Thanks for replying, great news its working for you 😀. Mine is called cannabidiol cbd 2.8%. I take 2 drops twice a day but am going to increase to 3 times a day. I dont know if its coincidence but when i start to get cramps as my period is due next week, it does seem to have settled the pain. I guess next week will be the real test! The taste is gross but ive got used to it, just have a drink afterwards.

I would like to think that it wasn’t a coincidence for me either 😊 As I told more friends about taking it, more of them told me about relatives who took it for other chronic illnesses with good effect so 🤞🏻

I hope it helps. Let us know the outcome of next week!

Haha the taste and smell is really horrible. I have to take mine before dinner.

So i got through my period with no pain killers whatsoever! I had period cramps but they only lasted a minute and then went. I took cbd oil throughout the day whenever i thought i needed it. Ive also found im sleeping better and have mord get up and go during the day. Just feel happier in general. I have ordered more, slightly higher strength this time. Just updating as this may help others x

Great to hear it worked for you. I don't know a lot about it though I was looking at some the other day but all I could find was around €40 a small bottle. Can you tell me where you ordered yours from please?

I got mine from savers, just a cheap high street chemist. Ive ordered a higher strength one off amazon which hasnt arrived yet.
