what a pain!
I never thought I would be here
After my accident, I never thought things would have arrived here! I have been back and forth to doctors and consultants over the years and I didn't get anywhere!
Over 5 years on I am still suffering from several conditions, however, I am fortunate to be patient 11 on the cannabis registry, UK. I have set up this site to help people suffering from any long-term condition and who have exhausted every avenue.
It took a lot of hard work, but in the last 18 months, thanks to cannabis and the hard work and support from all the staff at The Sapphire Medical Clinics, I am able to function better than I have before, in some ways. With my medication, I have learned to adapt and it has helped me gain control back in my life again.
Since starting my prescribed cannabis journey, I have managed to reduce my opioid and pain management intake considerably, from what you see on the left to just 7 per day. I struggled to get to where I am now, there was a lot of resistance from my GP (there still is), but I got there, and now with my experiences, I am here to share them, to help you on your journey.
As well as give advice I wish I had when I first started being a medical cannabis patient, I want to offer some handy hints and tips to get the most out of your prescription and some reviews to help you through those sleepless nights.
I am also starting a consultancy to bring access to the industry leaders in cannabis and looking at ways to help re-educate both GPs in what they can do and the public in their perception of what cannabis users look like. It is time to change the narrative!
Cannabis is still in its early stages of development in the UK, it is a wonderful alternative to traditional medications, but like any other medication, there will be some that experience adverse reactions, which can be managed quickly if done correctly!
Cannabis as a medicine has worked for me, if you have tried everything else and your doctor is offering stronger painkillers, it is time to change!
I will suffer in silence no more.
There is help out there, don't give up!
Hello
I am Patient 11
Several years ago, I had what I thought was a slight twinge, over 6 years later, I suffer from neuropathic and chronic/acute pain. With years of ineffective opioid-based treatments, I am Patient 11 and I can function better than ever, thanks to Sapphire, medical cannabis, & my family I have my life back.
