From Frustration to Relief: Naomi’s Medical Cannabis Journey for Fibromyalgia & EDS
Naomi’s story is one that resonates with so many across the UK — years of chronic pain, countless medications, and little relief. But in under two weeks, things changed. Here’s how.

Living with Fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
For those with long-term pain conditions like fibromyalgia and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), finding effective treatment can feel like chasing a moving target. Naomi had been through it all — a medical prescription three pages long, complex chronic health issues, and still facing “an awfully high level of pain” on a daily basis.
She, like many others, had grown nervous and frustrated. “I have to admit I was very nervous,” Naomi shared, “considering I’ve tried numerous treatments… and nothing was really helping.”
Turning to Medical Cannabis
After exhausting traditional treatment routes, Naomi reached out to CB1 Medical to explore whether medical cannabis could offer an alternative path. Despite her initial nerves, she was met with the kind of care and clarity she’d long been looking for.
- “Every single staff member — from reception, nurses, pharmacy and my lovely Dr Vanessa Hutchinson — have been consistently friendly, professional, helpful and incredibly fast.”
From enquiry to prescription in under 2 weeks
The process moved quicker than Naomi expected. Despite the Easter bank holiday causing a 4-day break in between, she received her prescription in less than two weeks from the moment she submitted her online enquiry.
This is thanks to CB1 Medical’s streamlined digital process and in-house medical team who understand the urgency of chronic pain conditions.
Significant pain relief and fewer medications
Naomi didn’t just receive her medication quickly — it actually helped.
- “In this very short time, my pain levels have reduced significantly, as have my other medications.”
This is something we often hear from patients with conditions like fibromyalgia and EDS. Medical cannabis won’t work for everyone, but for many, it becomes a safe and effective part of a more balanced treatment plan — often allowing for a reduction in other medications.
Why Naomi’s story matters
Too many patients in the UK are still unaware that medical cannabis is a legal and regulated option for conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic pain, EDS, and more. Naomi’s story is a reminder that compassionate care, fast access, and professional support are possible — without needing to turn to unregulated or illicit options.
- “I cannot recommend this clinic enough. Thanks CB1 Medical.”
