It breaks my heart to see my wife struggle with epilepsy. She was diagnosed as a child, but it didn’t get bad until she hit her 20s. She says that seizures were rare when she was young. As they got worse, she was prescribed tranquilizers daily to combat the neurological reaction going on in her brain. Anyone who has taken these medications knows exactly how tough it is to function physically and mentally while your body is given tranquilizers every single day. She barely finished college and struggled with every job she took after undergraduate school ended. When we met, she was in a period of transition. She was slowly getting off her prescription medications and was looking for different forms of treatment for her epilepsy. One of her friends told her to read about cannabis and its application with epilepsy, especially with the children afflicted with serious cases. Some of them have lived new lives after struggling with daily seizures and medication that wasn’t working. In many cases high THC cannabis concentrates are used to reverse the effects of a seizure on the human brain, but in some applications a CBD extract is sufficient. What works best for each patient is determined by their medical history, genetics, and brain physiology. My wife uses a high THC concentrate pen herself, which is a battery with a cannabis vaporizer cartridge attached. She can leave it in her purse for emergency usage wherever she is going. I know that she feels safer when she has a cannabis vaporizer pen with her at all times.
