Episode 466: One Woman’s Journey to Endometriosis Relief With Cannabis

Key Points 

  • Zoe was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 17 after experiencing symptoms for four years, which was considered fortunate since the average diagnosis period for women is typically eight years.
  • Medical professionals initially dismissed her severe pain as heavy periods, with male gynecologists showing less empathy than female healthcare workers, and doctors wanting to induce early menopause through injections rather than natural surgical menopause.
  • Treatment protocol included multiple contraceptive methods like implants, injections, coils, and hormone replacement tablets that caused negative mental side effects, followed by laparoscopic surgery for definitive diagnosis.
  • Psychological impact was severely negative, especially during her formative years, leading to lifestyle changes and the realization that lifestyle factors can minimize endometriosis pain and symptoms.
  • Heavy pharmaceutical dependency developed with doctors prescribing tramadol eight times daily for two years, morphine, and gabapentin, creating withdrawal issues that required gradual tapering under medical supervision.
  • Six operations were performed over the years, with endometriosis affecting her bowel, uterus, and tubes, including the controversial removal of her left ovary despite right-side pain and ongoing right-side cysts.
  • Decision to pursue holistic alternatives occurred around COVID-19 after her husband advocated for proper hospital treatment, leading to research into detoxing and healthy lifestyle implementation.
  • Medical cannabis journey began with recreational use that showed benefits, progressing to obtaining a UK can card for legal protection, then transitioning to a proper medical cannabis clinic three years ago.
  • Cannabis treatment includes THC and CBD capsules for bowel-related symptoms, THC drops taken sublingually, and flower consumed through a Mighty Medic vaporizer, with monthly prescriptions and quarterly reviews.
  • Remarkable recovery occurred post-surgery with no nausea or sickness, appetite restoration, and four kilograms weight gain after losing eight kilograms over three months of severe illness.
  • Family support system including her husband with PTSD, two children aged 11 and 12, and her father who raised her from age five provides the primary motivation for maintaining health and recovery.
  • Victoria, a woman who achieved 11 years of pain-free living through magnesium, supplements, yoga, and lifestyle changes, inspired Zoe's holistic approach combined with positive mindset training.
  • Encouragement for newly diagnosed women emphasizes personal strength, connecting with online endometriosis communities, open family communication, independent research beyond doctor recommendations, and daily gratitude practices.
