I can’t believe the relief I’m getting from CBD and THC combo
Tue, 10/31/2017 - 19:14Topic: Complementary Therapies
I’m recently diagnosed with simple partial seizures. Started having them about six months ago and then this last month I’ve had seizures Everyday, Sometimes twice a day and they are getting worse!. I’d been having luck with reducing the emotional part right before my seizures ( complete fear/panic) and recover more quickly just by taking CBD oil. I’ve tried prescription drugs and had serious negative side effects without seizure relief. Recently though I got approved for medical marijuana. My Acupuncture suggested it and I honestly had little hope it would do anything, but I’m kind of feeling desperate for relief these days. Anyways went to a dispensary and they helped me figure out the ratio of CBD to THC. It’s only been four days, but I have not had one seizure since I started! I can’t explain how good it feels to get these last four days. Now my goal is to figure out the most benefit with the least high. I just had to share my happy news!
unfortunetly that's simply

unfortunetly that's simply not true for me. i took the CBD oil by itself for almost a month before I added the THC. Don't get me wrong it did really help, it made my seizures more tolerable and I recovered faster, but it didn't reduce the frequency. With the MAD diet, THC and CBD oil all used together I've stayed completely seizure free for two months!
