sammy hertecant, chronic pain patient, belgium 2017 i'm sammy hertecant, 47 years old and living in flanders, belgium. i'm a medical cannabis user since a year after a car accident about 3 years ago. first i've followed the normal standard, medical advice, i"ve had 13 cortisone infiltrations.
easy diet kokemuksia 2013, but when that didn't help me anymorei started to walk an alternative route and so i ended up with cbd and actually cbd brought my life a bit back into the right direction. i also use thc oil
and cbd oil. i use it for pain control, inflammation control. this relaxes my muscles and it helps me to have a better alternative for the pharmaceutical drugs such as diazepam, morphine through which i had actually totally no life anymore, never was conscious anymore. i have 2 young children, so i want to be there for my kids. cannabis takes the pain away to the extent that it is livable and that i still can function perfectly in society.
i spent the first two years undergoing standard treatment with cortisone, i've had a total of 13 infiltrations in my neck of which the last actually, really & definitely brought no more positive results. i wasn't offered alternative treatments outside then to inject it into my spinal cord and i actually didn't like that idea so well with the experiences that i've had. therefore i went to look for other methods and one of them was the medical use of cannabis and especially cbd.
since the day that i take cbd it evolved back in a positive direction for me. i use the cbd every day to fight the pain and inflammation. as i said just, it works immediately, i had really a positive experience with it. then i went to my own doctor. who was very happy to see me come because he was himself looking for information, mainly on cbd. the not hallucinating oil extract of industrial hemp plant. that actually can be used for so many applications.
and for the year that i'm using it, i've achieved enormous personal progress. now, not a 100% cured, but it allows me back to enjoy my family life and also looking to the future, to start working part-time again. it hasn't been really my free choice to use cannabis as a medicinal drug. is not well received by everyone from the establishment. mainly control doctors are quite negative about it. fortunately, there are organizations like medcan to help you build a legal framework. therefore i'm also a member of this organization.
i get my cannabis prescribed by my general practitioner. who was actually seeking for alternative pain management for other patients. he was very glad i brought this information to him. and since then i get my cannabis prescribed by my doctor. both the cbd and thc i get prescribed. i use it mainly in oil form but also in a vaporizer and joint.
