As many of you know I decided to take the leap to medical marijuana in the form of cannabis oil. After a few weeks of getting in the system at my Licenced Provider and getting stuff straightened out I finally got my order and got to it. I've been taking my cannabis oil, a.k.a booster juice (that's my name for it around the house, but my Mom calls it jungle juice lol), religiously for a week now, and I gotta tell you the results are pretty damn fantastic already!
Head Pressure: The most beneficial thing I've noticed at this point is the pressure I had been having in my head started subsiding almost immediately, and it's now completely gone. This is HUGE considering it was getting so bad I swear I could feel the tumour pulsating in my head and I couldn't lay my head down at night without being in severe pain.
Sleep: It's definitely helped with sleeping. I'm clocking in about 8 hrs through the night and a nap after my afternoon dose. Not bad for someone who would never nap.
Mood: My mood is also pretty happy, upbeat, chirpy, etc. It's absolutely had an effect on my mood in a positive way.
Blood Glucose: It's also had a positive impact on my blood sugar levels, I've noticed after taking each dose that my levels drop. It just means I need to watch my diabetic medicine closer.
My Doctor from the Cannabis Clinic has me on 2-3 doses a day totaling 1 gram daily. This seems to be working for me so I am really satisfied with it. I know I decided to try cannabis oil for several reasons, the main as an alternative therapy for the cancer treatments offered me by my Oncology team.
Will cannabis oil keep my cancer halted? That remains to be seen. Will it cure my cancer altogether? That remains to be seen as well, I'd be lying if I didn't say I sure hope it does. But even if it doesn't, I at least know that it will make this whole journey a lot more comfortable. And that is priceless.
