Has Diet Or Medical Cannabis Been Helpful For You?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Since my epilepsy has resurfaced after 20 years, I would like to take a more natural treatment approach like diet and medical cannabis to help me. Does anyone have experience with either option?

Recreational and medical cannabis are now and has been for awhile legal in Michigan and I've taken it before and now for my epilepsy and as for as cursing it my daily sezuires have decreased and shifted to noctornal sezuires and this was after I got the neropace implementation in my brain and not related to rec or medical cannabis but my sezuires in my sleep are more milder and smaller with my doses of recreational cannabis and I can get more done during the day and my sleep is better although I still sometimes have troubles sleeping as I have difficulties getting to the dispenserarys as they are across town and I have no modes of transportation but walking and biking. And the cannabis quills and calms tand decreases the nasty side effects of my anti-eptiliptic drugs.

Over the counter low,strength CBD oil hasn't helped me I'm afraid & I don't think medicinal cannabis is legal in the UK yet ( I might be tempted to give it a try if it was)
