In this interview we speak with Rakel, a woman who has suffered from pain since she was little and who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for more than 20 years.
His experience becomes especially relevant when he tries Upani and realizes that he does not need anti-inflammatories for his pain. His story is that of many of you and we hope that when you read it you can feel it as such.
To begin, could you tell us in general terms what situation you were and are in?
I have had muscle pain since I was little, it is very difficult to get used to always living with pain, that is why I have been trying my whole life to find solutions to alleviate it as much as possible. I have several lumbar and disc herniations that also contribute to my discomfort. More than 20 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a little-known and sometimes mistreated disease. Have you ever felt misunderstood?
Yes, I have felt misunderstood since on many occasions when I go to the doctor for a painful episode they immediately relate it to fibromyalgia and I don't think that is always the reason.
How does Upani help you in your daily life with your pain?
It is my natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic, I feel that it has the same effect on me as when I took any medication. I started trying the mildest CBD , but I quickly decided that the most powerful one was better and to use fewer drops to achieve the same effect. In a month or so I found my dose, although sometimes if I feel worse, I use a few more drops than usual.
Did you use or do you use medication for fibromyalgia? Can you explain to us what differences you find with Upani?
I have taken many anti-inflammatories without knowing what they would do to my body. As a consequence, my intestine is full of symptomatic diverticula that cause intestinal discomfort as well as acute pain. So today, thanks to having discovered CBD, I have gotten rid of so many pills from my life. CBD being natural does not cause me any negative side effects.
Regarding anxiety and rest, did you know that CBD was going to help you with that or did you discover it when using it for fibromyalgia?
Before starting to take it, I learned a lot about its benefits. Logically I had doubts, but the more information I received the more I was convinced that I had to try it. And from the first moment I began to notice its effect on resting and sleeping all night in one go. It is my priority when packing my suitcase, I always carry it with me.
Did you drink something to rest and relax? Can you explain to us what differences you find with Upani?
I didn't usually take anything to sleep except in some very specific cases. Nowadays I don't forgive a night without taking a couple of drops of Full Moon , at night is when our fears and anxieties appear and I completely calm down.
How long have you known about CBD oil?
I think I started to know him more or less with you. I saw it advertised, I contacted you by email so that you could resolve my doubts as a beginner and the truth is that I was convinced immediately, by trying I had nothing to lose.
Have you tried other brands before?
I haven't tried others, Upani seemed appropriate to me and I wasn't wrong.
What made you choose Upani?
The truth is that the fact that you are from Gasteiz encouraged me to start with Upani.
How has your experience with us been?
Whenever I have needed to ask a question you have responded immediately. It is easy to place the order, you always take customers into account with your promotions and that is appreciated.
Would you recommend Upani to your friends and family?
I have recommended it, I have given it as a gift, sometimes I am a bit annoying because every time someone has an anxiety or pain problem, I tell them: “you know...CBD.” And I also give it to my dog when she gets very nervous about the fireworks, and she calms down quite a bit. I know that you have also thought about pets and have launched CBD for dogs and cats .
