Hi, let me just start off my saying that my take on homeopathic remedies is a sceptical one.
To summarise my illness:
I started off bleeding back in June / July 2017 and I was officially diagnosed with UC back in November 2017.
I've bled every day since I started back in 2017. Some days worse than others.
I was put on Infliximab back in Feb 2018 and put on Aza in the September to help the Infliximab work.
I've tried other home based remedies before, including Tumeric with Pepper; none of them made much difference.
A neighbour bought some CBD about 7 weeks back as her eyes were hurting and the doctors medicine wasn't doing much so she thought she'd give it a shot. She upped her dosage so she gave me the remainder of what she had to try.
Around a week later, I stopped bleeding.
Let me add that my main symptoms are bleeding and constant toilet visits. I'm very lucky not to experience any pain at all.
I've had tests and my HB levels are improving which means less iron infusions. My toilet visits do vary now, I went to the toilet twice on Sunday but I can have days where I go quite a few times still (I actually think some of it is in my head and I'm making myself have a nervous tummy).
I'm not 100% saying that CBD helped, it might be a complete coincidence. My meds might be working well with each other and my condition might have changed regardless.
Needless to say though that I've ordered another bottle and I'm currently using it and apart from a day last week, I haven't seen blood since.
Also, I was on steroids from the time I was diagnosed in November 2017 up until about 3 weeks ago. It's the first time I've been able to come off steroids.
I won't say where I got them from but if you have any other questions about my condition or the strength I'm using then please don't hesitate to ask.
