CBD Oil
Wed, 07/12/2017 - 17:43Hey guys,
I am new to this forum but I am not new to the seizures. With that being said I have tried pretty much anything under the sun. I stumbled on to an interesting article about CBD oil. They have a solid amount of reviews of people becoming less and less likely to encounter seizures. I was just curious if anyone here had tried it?
Cheers,
Kwright
I have been using CBD since

I have been using CBD since August when I finally gave up on seizure medicine. I have tried 10! Even though it is scary at first taking it since there isn't really any research on it and no one knows what dose will work for them, it isn't any scarier than trying a new seizure medication. Especially if those medications make you sick or try to kill you. It took about a month and a half of taking CBD for it to start to help. I heard that it starts working after a certain amount of time unique to that person because CBD has to heal you endocannibinoid system before it can help anything else. So be patient. After that I didn't have a seizure for 4 weeks (normally I have 3-5 a week). I have had seizures for the past 2 weeks but I think it is because I have been so stressed out. I have realized that I am recovering from my seizures REALLY fast. I even had a grand mal and it only took about a day for me to recover, instead of weeks or months! I am still on my CBD journey because I don't really know what I'm doing (but no one does let's be honest). Check out my blog if you want to know more about my journey with doses and brands of seizure medicine. www.epilepsybabe.com I also have a YouTube channel, same name.
