Our story

I was diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia in 2019 and after undergoing many tests and numerous trips to the dentist it was confirmed that the tremendous amount of pain I was suffering in the right side of my face was trigeminal neuralgia. 

This is when my journey with managing the pain began. It was not an easy one.
I was trying to function being a mum of 3, a wife and maintaining a job whilst suffering with these debilitating flare ups of the trigeminal neuralgia. When it was bad it was really bad. I can only describe it as the worse pain I have felt in my life and having given birth to 3 children with no pain relief but gas and air I class myself as someone with a high pain threshold.

Well, these flares up were flooring me…… LITERALLY!! I remember when at its worse the pains seemed to come from nowhere. It felt like I can only describe as a taser on full power being held up to the right side of my face with someone constantly pulling the trigger. It was horrific. I couldn’t eat properly, I couldn’t sleep, the pains would come in quick succession or they would have breaks but then be triggered at the slightest action for example smiling, talking, brushing my teeth, the list is endless. I was brought to tears regularly and the breaking point was when I could not even look after our toddler because the pain was just so intense and with no release! This broke my heart.

I was at an all time low.

My first prescribed drug for the pain from the doctor was a low dose of anti-depressant. Something I was willing to try as I just wanted to get the pain and flare ups under control. This is where it became another journey of not just getting to the diagnosis but now trying to control it. All that could be offered were strong anti-convulsant drugs such as the ones used for epilepsy. I tried various different ones and dosages but I just didn't know how they made me feel. I didn’t feel like me! I had zero motivation and just felt like I was battling through the days. I had to play around with the dosage and found myself taking a higher dose and I just didn’t want to live like that. There is no cure it is a condition that you simply have to live with!!

I have a really super supportive husband who saw me at my worse and he had listened to me constantly say "I don’t want to have to take these prescribed drugs for the rest of my life."

So, he went on the journey with me. He researched herbal products and read all he could about what could help manage such chronic pain.
This is when CBD Isolate became part of my life and I have not for one day looked back. It has let me manage my pain and flare ups, all whilst being able to put something that is 100% natural into my body and stop the prescribed drugs.
CBD Isolate has changed my life for the better. My children have their mother back, my husband has his wife back and I am simply just me again. The CBD Isolate is not a cure by any means but it is an absolutely fantastic way of being able to manage and control pain using a natural source. On this Discovery Simply C was created.

Both myself and my husband having now had first hand experience of seeing just much CBD has changed our lives in so many positive ways, we then wanted to research and look into the benefits of not only taking the Isolate but combining it into our very own homemade natural skincare range. We pride ourselves on the fact that our products are 100% natural even down to our preservative.
