Welcome back to I Am Christina Diarcangelo, I can not believe this is our final episode of the year. What a powerful journey we have been on together thus far and it is but only getting started.
Our next inspirational guest is Dr. David Dawson. At a very young age Dr. Dawson was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy which manifests itself in the form of severe pain and was prescribed opiates in order to manage his acute discomfort.
Dr. Dawson was started on codeine and developed a tolerance very quickly. Throughout his adult life, he developed a tolerance to virtually every single opiate imaginable. This regiment eventually caused him to have a stroke and ultimately lose his ability to walk. He was put into a hospice; he and his doctors thought he would not survive. Dr. Dawson was not willing to accept death and he started to research alternatives, including medical cannabis. He left hospice against doctors' orders and eventually weaned himself off opiates.
Dr. Dawson is now with us today to share his empowering story and to inspire others. Join us!
