I suddenly stopped having auras when I was in my teens and haven't had one since, so unfortunately I just drop like a sack of potatoes when I have a fit now luckily everyone I come to know gets used to it.

If it does become legal or it is already , it will be hard if you you can't afford it. It had just became legal in my state , this yr. in June. But about a week ago, I was at the EPILEPSY FOUNDATION Comference. One of the many subjects was on Canibis Oil. Talking about how it saved two different families child and steered them to a close to normal life. The sucky part, is that it's not paid by insurances . We have to pay the price for it if we need it. All because it is still considered ILLEGAL, by Federal Law standards.l
