CBD oil to manage chronic nerve pain for MS

Auckland

Hi my name is Sarah I am a wife and a mother of four beautiful children Beau aged 13 , Willow aged 11 and twin boys Archie and Louie aged 8 .

I have worked in the fashion industry for 30 years , travelled to many countries and always been an active spontaneous person with a genuine love for life .

After the birth of my twins I experienced double vision , chronic fatigue and numbness resulting in my diagnoses of an aggressive onset of MS 😔.

I faired well for the first 6 years with the support of MS drug Gilenya until June last year I fell and smashed my lower disc in my back ( umm ouch ) whilst in hospital blood test revealed my white blood cells had got seriously low and I had to cease treatment .

This resulted in a severe backlash of symptoms , I lost my eye sight first with the world spinning followed by a flare resulting in losing the ability to walk unaided .

I was put on another drug that made symptoms so bad I found it hard to stand struggled to work and for me the worst symptom nuropathic nerve pain which has been ongoing since November last year .

It is so bad at night time I wake whimpering In pain every two hours and can hardly move , I feel like I am being tortured in my sleep its horrific .

I have been put on so many drugs each with their own side effects and damaging long term ailments. None of them have touched the pain I feel .

I live as a vegan 🌱 believe in the power of positive thinking have a love for life and do my best as a mother and a wife to keep a smile on my face but feel so worn down.

My wish is to try CBD cannibas oil which is shown to help my kind of pain and muscle spasms but even though I can get a script it costs 500-600 a month and as I have had to step down from my full time job and been signed off on permanent disability I just can not afford to give it a try.

With the sudden loss of one income it has hit our family hard.

I ask for any supporters of CBD oil to help me in giving this treatment a try to see if I can have a break from this chronic nerve pain so I can wake up once again and embraced the day x

Use of funds

Wish to raise $500- $600 a month for CBD oil to manage chronic nuropathic nerve pain for MS symptoms.
