Complex partial seizures

Fri, 09/29/2017 - 15:39
Hey there fellas. My wife has Epilepsy, diagnosed with complex partial seizures since she was four years old. She is now 24. The last medication she was taking were ONFI - 2x5mg LAMICTAL - 2x25mg FELBATOL - 2x25mg ZONEGRAN - 1x10mg CLOBAZAM - 2x5mg Today, I wanted to share her story in hopes it may inspire you all as your stories have inspired us. I started Sarah on CBD oil August 10. I started her off at 45mg a day. Without my knowledge, she began to wane herself off her medication. I had planned on her waning off her meds after she reached 150mg of CBD oil, which she will begin in the first week of October. This also explains why, at the end of August, she developed all the symptoms of withdrawels, which at the time I assumed was the flue... On September 24th, she told me it took her two weeks to wane off her medication, hence the end of August. This also explains the increase in her seizure count around that time period. Now she has been off all of her medication for an entire month. She has gone from 3-4 seizures a week on pharmaceuticals to 1 seizure a week on CBD oil at 90mg-100mg a day. Her seizures have not worsened since she has been off her meds and they have lessened in number. I've had her on the elixinol brand of cbd oil and will now be switching her to charlotte's web. Both of which are fully supported by the ROC, Realm of Caring foundation. Sarah's quality of life has improved. She feels better, is more active, and excited for the future possibilities. Go ahead and check the side effects of her medication and compare it to what she's taking now. If you have any questions, go ahead and contact me. If you have nothing good to say, move on. Best wishes to all of you suffering from epilepsy.

My son started having

My son started having seizures he had his first seizure at 6 year within 12 hours We spent 6 days in the hospital where different doctors looking at different things couldn’t agree on why he suffered a seizure… He has had genetic tests including a muscle biopsy. I used to wonder why my son were getting so many vaccinations shots at such a young age, Still the doctors wouldn’t admit it was the vaccination shots. After his 2nd seizure I wouldn’t allow my son to be vaccinated anymore but I believe the damage is done. It was during a casual conversation with a friend that I learned about Doctor Lawson Bryan i was so glad to know him on how his herbal product work, I contacted Lawson and explain everything to him and make purchase of his product. few days later i received the herbal medicine my son used it for 3 mouths i notice improvement in less than a month my son was totally cured of seizure now he have not experience any sign of seizure. Contact doctor Lawson Bryan on this + 1 (979) 475-5130or e-mail dr.lawson52@gmail.com.

Thank you for sharing! I’m recently diagnosed complex partial seizures and it’s turned my life upside down. I’ve experimented a little bit with CBD, if I have the sense to take it before a seizure I can skip the feeling of complete fear/panic which is the worst part. I will try taking it every day too! I have really serious side effects from meds, I know they help a lot of people I’m simply not one of them. You’re story gives me hope.
