Toria Lyttle, 43, had no idea that her debilitating headaches – which she had suffered from since age nine - were caused by a benign tumor. But the diagnosis three years ago didn't bring an end to her crippling headaches which left her only able to sleep for two hours a night.
Her GP encouraged her to try cannabis - and now she gets a monthly prescription of 30g of THC-containing cannabis ranging from £240 to £350 per month from an online clinic. Toria now vapes in two to four doses each day, depending on the severity of her symptoms. She usually uses the vape at home in the morning and at night but if she has a flare-up or a migraine attack then may increase it to two further daily doses.
Toria Lyttle says medical cannabis changed her life. (SWNS) The mom-of-one says she can finally sleep through the night and her pain has been reduced. "It allows me to do my regular daily activity - but it hasn't taken the pain away entirely.
" While CBD-only products are legal and readily available in the UK - products containing THC are illegal unless prescribed via the NHS or private clinics. Very few people are prescribed medical cannabis on the NHS in the UK - so she had to go private but now has a monthly prescription.
