Hi everyone-
I was medically diagnosed with Grand-Mal seizuers when I was 18 yrs old. I am now 35, I am more then sure that I have had Epelipsy since I was a little girl. As the years passed my seizures have changed. I went from Grand-mal seizures combined with abscent seizures,to photosethesis (sp?) I can not tolorate any type of blinking lights as that will induce a seizure (even the flicker from a candle) so I have been on alot of different meds from time to time. Right now I am on keppra 1000 mg and dilantin 400mg a day. In the past year I was also diagnosed with chronic Fibromyalgia,and panick attacks,chronic insomnia, ptsd,sever anxiety disorder...blah blah... The Doctors (3 different ones) had me taking so many different meds that I was in a constant "HIGH" or I was having allergic reactions,or they would induce a seizure. So with lots of trial and error it has been determinded that I cannot take pain meds,nor anti-deppresants,nor anti-anxiety meds. i was in so much pain and termoil that I had tried to take my own life,nothing worked on me. When my husband picked me up from the hospital and asked me "why?" My honest response to him was that I could not take living this way any more,constant pain,constant seizures,constant anxiety. He is the one who suggested trying mmj. I was not so sure about it. We figgured that if any thing it was not going to make my situation any worse,so I tried it. 20 mins later the pain in my body,mind,soul,heart went away. I have kept a daily journal of the effects that mmj has on me. So far my siezures have slowly faded away. I at times when I am really overly tired I will sort of space off,not a true abscent siezure,more like a very tame verstion of it. My anxiety is almost gone,my depprestion has faded,just about all of my symptoms are next to nothing. I smoke purple kush (sp?) and have been daily anywhere from 2-3 times a day. I have been doing this for a year now. The amount that I take from my bong is not a large hit at all ( I dont like "feeling"stoned) 1 hitter quitter. I thank God and my Hubby that I decided to try my "last resort" it has helped me out alot. The only meds that I take now are my epilepsy meds and vitamins.
