Through our telehealth consultations, we have helped countless individuals in Australia access the treatment they need from the comfort of their own homes. The stories of our patients are a testament to the positive impact that medicinal cannabis can have on managing chronic conditions, alleviating pain, and improving overall well-being.

Here are just a few real-life success stories from patients who have experienced the benefits of medicinal cannabis under the care of MOCA Health.

Sarah’s Story: Relief from Chronic Pain

Sarah, a 42-year-old woman from regional Queensland, had been living with chronic pain for years following a car accident. Despite trying various treatments, including prescription painkillers and physical therapy, nothing seemed to provide long-term relief. Sarah found herself relying heavily on opioids, but the side effects left her feeling exhausted and unwell.

After hearing about medicinal cannabis and its potential to treat chronic pain, Sarah decided to consult MOCA Health through our telehealth service. During her telehealth consultation, Sarah was able to speak directly with one of our experienced doctors, who assessed her medical history, symptoms, and the impact her pain was having on her daily life.

With the guidance of her doctor, Sarah was prescribed a medicinal cannabis oil with a balanced THC:CBD ratio. The doctor carefully explained how to start with a low dose and adjust as needed, ensuring that Sarah felt supported every step of the way.

After a few weeks of consistent use, Sarah noticed a significant reduction in her pain levels and an improvement in her overall quality of life. Not only was she able to reduce her reliance on opioids, but she also experienced fewer side effects. “I can finally sleep through the night again and enjoy the activities I love,” Sarah says. “Medicinal cannabis has given me my life back, and I’m so grateful for the support I received from MOCA Health.”

John’s Story: Managing Anxiety and Insomnia

John, a 55-year-old man from New South Wales, had been struggling with anxiety and insomnia for years. His anxiety was triggered by stressful work situations, and the lack of sleep only made the problem worse. John had tried numerous treatments, including antidepressants and over-the-counter sleep aids, but nothing seemed to offer lasting relief. He found himself stuck in a cycle of poor mental health, feeling tired, anxious, and overwhelmed.

After discussing his symptoms with a friend, John learned about the benefits of medicinal cannabis for managing anxiety and sleep issues. He was hesitant at first, but after reading about MOCA Health’s telehealth consultations, he decided to take the first step towards exploring this alternative treatment.

During his telehealth consultation, John spoke with one of MOCA Health’s doctors, who recommended a CBD-dominant medicinal cannabis oil to help manage his anxiety and promote better sleep. With clear guidance on how to use the product and adjust the dose, John began incorporating medicinal cannabis into his daily routine.

Within just a few weeks, John noticed a significant reduction in his anxiety levels, and for the first time in years, he was able to sleep through the night without the need for sleep medications. “I feel calmer and more in control of my emotions,” says John. “The best part is that I’m finally getting the rest I need, and I don’t feel groggy or foggy the next day. I’m so thankful for the support from MOCA Health and their personalized approach to treatment.”

Emily’s Story: Managing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Emily, a 30-year-old woman living in a rural part of Victoria, had been struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after serving in the military. Flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened anxiety were a daily part of Emily’s life. She had tried traditional therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), but found that the emotional toll of her symptoms often made it difficult to engage in therapy fully.

Emily’s life began to change when she discovered that medicinal cannabis could be an option for managing her PTSD symptoms. She turned to MOCA Health for help, and after a thorough telehealth consultation with one of our doctors, Emily was prescribed a balanced THC:CBD oil to help reduce her anxiety and improve her sleep.

The doctor explained how to use the product in a way that was tailored to Emily’s specific needs, helping her gradually adjust her dosage to achieve the desired effects. After just a few weeks of use, Emily began to experience fewer flashbacks and was able to sleep more soundly. Her anxiety decreased, and she felt a renewed sense of calm and emotional stability.

“I never thought I’d find something that would help me manage my PTSD symptoms,” says Emily. “Medicinal cannabis has been a game-changer for me. I finally feel like I have some control over my mental health again, and I’m so thankful to MOCA Health for offering me this alternative treatment.”

Peter’s Story: Alleviating Cancer Treatment Side Effects

Peter, a 60-year-old man from Melbourne, had been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and was struggling with the debilitating side effects, including nausea, loss of appetite, and extreme fatigue. While chemotherapy was essential for his treatment, the side effects were overwhelming, making it difficult for Peter to maintain his strength and nutrition during his recovery.

Peter consulted with MOCA Health through our telehealth service to explore options for alleviating these side effects. After his consultation, he was prescribed a THC-dominant medicinal cannabis oil to help with nausea and stimulate his appetite. The doctor provided clear instructions on how to use the oil to manage his symptoms safely.

After a few days of using the medicinal cannabis oil, Peter noticed a marked improvement. His nausea subsided, and he began to feel more inclined to eat, which helped him regain energy and strength. “The medicinal cannabis has made such a huge difference in my recovery,” says Peter. “I was able to eat better, keep my strength up, and feel more comfortable during chemotherapy. I’m so grateful for the support from MOCA Health.”
