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.

Let me mention this to you; I

Let me mention this to you; I was on Dilatin and another med from the time I was 5-6 up til I was in college; then I quit taking them altogether for several years. When I was in my mid 40's I started having seizures but didn't recognize what was happening until I had a grand mal at age 51. Today I am on a different med that is doing the trick. What I am saying is that you guys may want to keep my experience in mind.

Mr. Smith, you should inquire

Mr. Smith, you should inquire and research cbd oil as an alternative medicine. That's the gist of this story.
