Hello Everyone:
I am writing this post on behalf of my mother, who has suffered with extreme electrosensitivity for nearly a decade. Her sensitivity was triggered by mold exposure in 2007 and escalated quickly in severity. She suffered from tremors, constant extreme muscle tension (head and neck especially) and could not bear to be around the usual suspects--wifi, towers, televisions, microwaves, cell phones, even the toaster. Anything plugged in caused her overwhelming pain. Due to the stigma and essential isolation she became depressed, eventually attempting suicide in 2010.
I only give her background so that I can fully emphasize what I’ve witnessed. Her case was debilitating. She spent time at an environmental hospital and was told she was one of the worst cases ever documented. As her daughter I have been researching, and although I am not religious, praying for something to help her for years.
My next important point is that I am NOT selling anything, nor will I suggest any certain product in order to avoid that impression. I only want to help you all and hope that you will see this for what this is--a piece of information that may greatly change your lives, or very well may not.
I recently moved to Denver, Colorado. As you inevitably are aware, both medical and recreational marijuana are legal in this state. I’d been trying to get my mom to try marijuana for her symptoms for years. She has an understandable aversion to smoking, so it never happened. I also did not want to give her anything which might make her “trip” or become paranoid.
This is where cannabidiol (CBD) comes into play. Cannabis is a complex plant, but the two main components are CBD and THC. Put simply, THC makes a person high. CBD, on the other hand, does not. CBD and THC work together synergistically to create some of the most positive effects of the plant--relaxation, pain relief, anti-anxiety.
Perhaps you all have heard about cbd and its neurological effects. I’ll leave these links for those of you who may doubt its potential to treat certain neurological conditions:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4707667/http://www.courant.com/features/hc-mommy-minute-0118-20160114-story.htmlAfter doing some research, I decided that a strong CBD-based cannabis product might be worth trying for my mother. Again I want to emphasize that the goal of marijuana products which are high in CBD and low in THC is NOT to get high or stoned, but to potentially treat various physical and psychological symptoms.
In short, my mother came to stay with me in Denver and tried her first tablet. This product contains 5 mg of CBD and 0.33 mg of THC. A few hours after the dose, her muscles were almost completely relaxed. This is a woman who had suffered from a rock-hard stiff neck/shoulder condition for literally a decade. A woman who had to take 12 ibuprofen per day. A woman who had to schedule days of recovery following simple outings because of electrical exposure.
She continued to take her one little pill each morning, and saw extraordinary improvements every day. She could no longer feel the wifi. She mowed the lawn. She went to the movies. She painted my kitchen! Her sensitivity to smells, and more importantly to electricity, seemed to have been REVERSED. Excuse the capitalization, but I can hardly contain my excitement.
Folks, my mom has her life back. It’s only been a couple weeks but these results are astounding. I am cautious of getting too optimistic, but it’s hard not to. Of course everyone’s situation is different--but if this helps even one of you I will be overjoyed. Keep in mind that she had tried everything to feel better, to have the active and productive life she had mourned for a decade.
So, now the tricky part: legality. Twenty-four states in the U.S allow medical marijuana. Only four allow recreational. Of course I am not advocating anything illegal. I also want to warn you all that there are some online companies selling “cbd hemp oil.” This cbd is extracted from a hemp plant, not a cannabis plant, and this is why it is legal. These hemp oils very well may be fake, or even harmful. If anything they are almost certainly a ripoff. Please don’t take these. It’s important that whatever CBD product you try comes from a legitimate dispensary in a legal state.
Any feedback from you all is appreciated. Again, I hope this information shows you that there is hope. I do apologize if this is already a known treatment, as I have found no anecdotes regarding electrosensitivity and cbd.
