Some info on Epilepsy and Cannabis
Well my medical diagnosis is fairly complex but I can share if you all are that interested

I am in my 30's, I had a heart attack a while back and had to have stents implanted. I also have diabetes (type II). In my late teens I had a very mild traumatic brain injury with epileptic seizures as the result of the tbi. I went untreated for some time with the epilepsy and suffered several severe grand mal seizures per year. To Top it all off I began having bits of anxiety and depression creep in and that is not really my personality. So over the years I tried many many pharmacuticles. More than I care to try and remember the names of. I would no sooner start to get good effects from the drugs and the side effects would out way the good. Eventually we found that very very low dose pharmacuticles and a pretty heavy dose of cannabis daily was much more beneficial.
My last med regime before I started using more cannabis was:
trileptal 900mg twice a day
caduet 80/5 mg once a day
fosinoril 20mg once a day
toprol 50 mg once a day
aspirin 325 mg once day
plavix ( i forget how much)
seroquel 300mg at bedtime
now:
trileptal 150mg twice a day
asprin 81mg once a day
fish oil and flax seed oil twice a day
around 2 grams of the best cannabis I can get my hands on spread out over the day
I feel better than I have in a decade! I have lost tons of weight. I quit the cigs with the help of chantix a while back. I have some mild seizure type activity every couple years but that is limited to a couple of hand twitches. I do not lose consciousness any more.
As far as I am concerned, cannabis saved my life. I have always been a stoner and always loved pot. Now I live on the stuff
Only nature could provide something so perfect. :rasta:
