Just wanted to write you soul brother across the pond.
I missed one of your comments and went back and saw it for the first time.
You are having seizures??? Gosh I missed that, sorry about that.
How are you handling them and are you keeping track when they occur?
I'm just so concerned that you don't have meds, this grow couldn't come any sooner could it?
This medicine is so important to you. I know where you're at and I'm not gonna let you fall. Once you flip over to flower you will be closer than you think.
Take your time answering, we're here when you have the energy.
The good thing is that your plants are growing mega awesome while you rest.
Much love,
Hi my soul sista, I'm ok, just on a bit of a go slow mode for the last few weeks.
I started having seizures in September 2015, 3-4 weeks after getting viral meningitis and encephalitis.
At my worst stage I was having up to 30 seizures a day, very short duration and they look like someone has given me an electric shock for a few seconds.
It was my search for a safer, more effective treatment to manage my seizures without more harmful side effects that led me back to cannabis.
And wow, did I get more than I hoped for ..
I don't think I've posted the full Neurological issues I'm living with on my thread before.
The seizures I have are the result of Acquired Brain Injury from viral meningitis and encephalitis.
This has also resulted in my learning capacity being half of what it was pre illness and left several chronic issues.
I will list my medical symptoms here to document the scope of impact:
Major sensory overload especially with multiple sources of sound.
My brain can not filter out surrounding sound sources and is trying to process everything at once.
Difficulty with memory and concentration.
I have developed Functional Neurological Disorder with symptoms of seizures, cognitive & physical freezing, balance issues, confusion & difficulties processing information, numbness in the left side of my face, left leg and arm co-ordination issues, my spacial awareness of off too.
It's very much like a computer software issue, when your pc or phone gets slow and crashes.
Chronic physical and cognitive fatigue.
Migraines.
My eyesight has been affected now, I require glasses and I become very dizzy if I don't wear them.
Type 3 diabetes, blood glucose levels can go hyper and hypoglycaemic.
Cannabis is not only controlling my seizures but reboots my brain to better functionality when I am struggling with the other Functional Neurological Disorder symptoms.
My diabetes HbA1c is at 52 which is in the very well controlled level.
Cannabis immediately relieves the full body tension from all the sensory overload issues.
Topical applications relieve the migraines and any muscle areas that inevitably end up locked in spasm through the full body tension.
Cannabis topical applications of the same oil also heals bruising quickly and heal skin conditions like psoriasis, dried cracked skin, herpes cold sores, nerve pain etc.
The main benefit from cannabis is that it makes me feel like me again, a dad, a husband, a son, a brother.
This is where the real value of cannabis is, not pounds or dollars, but life. .
Appreciate every moment folks
