I started suffering symptoms from menopause when I turned 50 years old.
It has been three years and I am still dealing with them.
The hot flashes are just nasty. Sleeping at night was downright rare. I just sweat to the point where I need to change my PJs. Even my sheets and pillowcases would end up damp. Following a hot flash, I would just shiver and freeze. I started researching online to look for something I could do to get rid of my menopause problems and sleeping challenges. I read that cannabis has shown to do both. Marijuana is proving effective at helping women to avoid the number and severity of hot flashes. The CBD in cannabis offsets the THC, helping to alleviate restlessness at night without that high sensation. My state only permits medical cannabis at this point. So I decided to look into what I needed to do to become a medical marijuana patient. I researched for several hours. From what I found, it seemed as if the majority of cases were for more extreme medical conditions such as cancer, glaucoma, PTSD, seizures or diabetes. There is also the possibility to treat anxiety, chronic pain, depression and sleeping conditions. I knew I had a good chance of getting my medical medical cannabis card. I just needed to explain to my doctor that I can’t sleep at night. I’ve seen that there is research showing the positive effects of cannabis on menopause symptoms. I am also willing to claim anything to get access to weed. I don’t care if I get high as long as I can sleep.
