Sibandakanya iimveliso esicinga ukuba ziluncedo kubafundi bethu. Ukuba uthenga amakhonkco kweli phepha, sinokufumana ikhomishini encinci. Nantsi inkqubo yethu.

Ndandineminyaka engama-25 ndiqala ukutshaya imbiza. Ngelixa uninzi lwabahlobo bam babekade bezonwabisa ngamaxesha athile ngaphambili, ndakhulela kwikhaya apho utata wayeligosa leziyobisi. "Yithi hayi kwiziyobisi" bendisoloko ndingena kuye ubomi bam bonke.

Andizange ndanomdla kwi-marijuana-kwada ngobunye ubusuku xa ndisela kunye nabahlobo kwaye babetshaya. Ndagqiba kwelokuba kutheni?

Ukunyaniseka, andizange ndichukumiseke. Ngelixa utywala behlala businceda kwezinye iindlela zam zokungenisa kwaye bandivumela ukuba ndonwabe ngakumbi, oku kwandenza nje ndafuna ukufihla kwigumbi elikude nomntu wonke.

Kule minyaka ndizamile amaxesha ambalwa, ubukhulu becala kwiziphumo ezifanayo. Ndigqibe kwelokuba ngokuqinisekileyo intsangu ayiyonto yam…

Emva koko ndafunyaniswa ndineSigaba 4 endometriosis kwaye yonke into yatshintsha.

Ndingazama nantoni na ukususa intlungu

Kwiminyaka ukususela ekufumanekeni kwam, ndinamava awahlukeneyo entlungu. Kwakukho inqaku malunga neminyaka emithandathu eyadlulayo apho ndandiphene yintlungu kangangokuba ndandicinga ngokuya ngokukhubazeka. Ndonzakele ndityelele ingcali ye-endometriosis endaweni yayo kwaye ndenziwa utyando kathathu olwenze umahluko omkhulu kubomi bam. Andisenangxaki yokubandezeleka yonke imihla endakha ndanayo. Ngelishwa, amaxesha am akakabi mahle.

“Andikonwabeli ukuphuma kuyo. Andikonwabeli ukuziva ndingalawuleki okanye ndindisholo, kodwa andifuni ukuvalelwa ebhedini yam ndisezintlungwini. Ke loluphi ukhetho endinokukhetha kulo? ”

Namhlanje ndinemigqaliselo emibini yokundinceda ndilawule loo ntlungu. Inye, i-celecoxib (i-Celebrex) yeyona nto ibalaseleyo endiyifumeneyo yokujongana nexesha elibi le-endometriosis. Ngelixa isusa umda kwintlungu, kunamaxesha amaninzi xa ingonelanga ukundivumela ukuba ndiqhubeke ndiphile ubomi bam. Ndihlala ebhedini iintsuku ezininzi ngexesha, ndilinde ixesha lam lokuphuma.

Oko kuya kuba yinto ephazamisayo nakubani na, kodwa ndingumama ongatshatanga oneminyaka emi-4 ubudala. Ndiyakuthanda ukusebenza naye, ngoko ke iintlungu zivakalelwa kukuba ziyandikhathaza.

Elinye iyeza endinalo limele ukundinceda ukulawula ezo ntsuku: i-hydromorphone (iDilaudid). Yinto eqinisekileyo yokuthintela iintlungu. Ayindenzi ndirhawuzelele njenge-acetaminophen-oxycodone (Percocet) kunye ne-acetaminophen-hydrocodone (Vicodin). Ngelishwa, ikwenza ukuba ndingakwazi ukuba ngumama.

Kananjalo, kunqabile kuphela ukuba ndifikelele kuloo bhotile - ihlala ibasebusuku kuphela kwaye kuphela ukuba ndiyazi ukuba ukhona omnye umntu okufuphi onokuthi ancede nentombi yam ukuba kwenzeka into engxamisekileyo.

Ezo meko zinqabile. Endaweni yoko, kunokwenzeka kakhulu ukuba ndikhethe ukunyamezela ngenxa yeentlungu ukuze ndihlale ndazi kakuhle indawo endingqongileyo.

Ukuphulukana nolawulo

Inyani yile, nokuba ngaphandle kwentombi yam ukuba ithathele ingqalelo, andikonwabeli ukuphuma kuyo. Andikonwabeli ukuziva ndingalawuleki okanye ndindisholo.

Sekunjalo, andikonwabeli ukuvalelwa ebhedini yam ngenxa yeentlungu. Ke loluphi ukhetho endinalo?

Ngelishwa, ababaninzi. Ndizamile i-acupuncture, i-naturopathy, kunye nokusela ikomityi, zonke zineziphumo ezahlukeneyo. Ndiye ndatshintsha indlela enditya ngayo, ndasebenza ngaphezulu (nangaphantsi), kwaye ndikulungele ukuzama iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokuncedisa. Ezinye izinto ziyanceda kwaye zihlala zisisiqhelo. Kodwa ndiyaqhubeka nokuba nexesha (okanye nokuba lixesha eliqhelekileyo) apho iintlungu zibi kakhulu andifuni ukushiya ibhedi yam. Kube ngumzabalazo iminyaka ngoku.

Emva koko ilizwe lasekhaya (iAlaska) lamisela intsangu ngokusemthethweni.

Ayisiyiyo intsangu kuphela, cinga. EAlaska, ngoku kusemthethweni ukutshaya okanye ukungenisa imbiza nanini na xa ufuna, ukuba nje ungaphezulu kweminyaka engama-21 kwaye awusebenzi ngemoto.

Ndiya kuvuma, ukuba semthethweni kuko okwenze ukuba ndiqale ukucinga ngokuzama intsangu ukunqanda iintlungu zam. Inyani yile, bendisazi ukuba yinto onokukhetha kuyo iminyaka. Ndakhe ndafunda malunga nabasetyhini abaninzi abane-endometriosis abafunga ukuba iyabanceda.

Kodwa eyona ngxaki yam inkulu yentsangu yamayeza yahlala: Zange khe ndikonwabele ukuba phezulu ngaphambili kwaye andikhange ndiyithande ncam le mbono yokuba phezulu ngoku - ngelixa ndizama ukukhulisa nentombi yam.

Ukufumana ulawulo lwentlungu elungileyo kum

Okukhona ndandithetha ngale nkxalabo, nangona kunjalo, kokukhona ndandiqinisekiswa ukuba kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zentsangu. Ndandifuna nje ukufumana ubunzima obulungileyo kum - ubunzima obunokunciphisa iintlungu ngaphandle kokundenza umntu ongenanto.

Ndiqale ukwenza uphando kwaye ndafumanisa ukuba kukho inyani kuloo nto. Iindidi ezithile zentsangu ngokwenyani zibonakala ngathi zinempembelelo efanayo nakwicaffeine. Ndithethile noomama abambalwa abandiqinisekisileyo ukuba bahlala bethembele embizeni yeentlungu kunye noxinzelelo. Bakholelwa ukuba iyabenza babe ngcono, bonwabe ngakumbi, kwaye babandakanyeke koomama.

Ke… ikhona loo nto.

Phakathi kwalo lonke olu phando, nangona kunjalo, ndifumene enye into… i-oyile ye-CBD. Esi sisiphumo sentsangu ngaphandle kwe-THC. Kwaye i-THC yeyona nto ibangela ukuba phezulu ndandingonwabanga ncam ukuba namava. Izifundo ezahlukeneyo ngoku zifumene iziphumo ezithembisayo zokusetyenziswa kweoyile ye-CBD ekunyangeni iintlungu ezingapheliyo. Yile nto kanye bendiyifuna: Into enokuthi ikwazi ukunceda ngaphandle kokundenza ndingento yanto ukuya phezulu.

Okukwintsusa

Ndithenge iipilisi zokuqala ze-CBD kwinyanga ephelileyo ngosuku lwesibini lwexesha lam. Bendihlala ndizithatha yonke imihla ukusukela ngoko. Ngelixa andinakutsho ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba bancedile na kwixesha lam lokugqibela (bekungekho lukhulu), ndinomdla wokubona ukuba eli xesha elizayo lihamba njani ne-CBD yenyanga eyakhiwe kwinkqubo yam.

Andilindelanga mimangaliso apha. Kodwa nokuba oku kungasebenza ngokudibeneyo noCelebrex ukundenza ndihambise ngakumbi kwaye ndifumaneke ukudlala nentombi yam ngeli xesha, ndingakujonga njengophumeleleyo.

Ukuba ayisebenzi, andiphikisani nokuqhubeka nokuphonononga izibonelelo zentsangu yamayeza kwixa elizayo. Kungenzeka ukuba ngokwenene kukho ubunzima ngaphandle apho andiyi kuzonda, into eya kuba yintsholongwane engqondweni kunye nokunciphisa intlungu.

Okwangoku, ndivulelekile nakwezinye izinto. Konke endikukhathaleleyo kukufumana indlela yokulawula iintlungu zam ngelixa ndingumama endifuna ukuba yintombazana yam encinci. Uhlobo lomama okwaziyo ukuqhuba incoko, aphendule kwimeko zonxunguphalo, abaleke aphume ngomdlalo ongafakwanga webhola ekhatywayo epakini- nokuba sele exesheni.
