@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member You are absolutely entitled to your opinion based upon your personal experiences. However, just like the various anticonvulsants and any other medicine have different effects on different people and different results come from the exact same brain surgeries done on multiple individuals, everything is based upon what works for the particular individual because there is nothing that works for everyone. Only 4 players in the NHL have not gotten both of their Covid-19 initial shots, but there are many who have tested positive for Covid-19 at some point in the last year. However, look at the numbers of the people (800,000 plus -- some of which might have had those shots, but the majority of who never got any shot or more than the one shot). Just like annually there are a small percentage of people who have adverse effects (some terrible ones) from getting the flu shot, but there are many more who die from the flu every year. And if you look into how they determine what combination of the highest probable forms of the flu that predicted for the upcoming year, then you will know that at some times (just like the weather men and the experts on the hurricanes and so many other things) they get in wrong. And one year at Massachusetts General Hospital those of us on the staff had to get flu shots (unless we signed a document that for religious or heath reasons --like allergies to eggs that we wanted to not get the shots). And that second shot happened because the experts got it wrong and their was a strain of the flu (not part of the combination to create that year's flu shot) that was spreading around caused many of us to get the flu (even those like myself who have rarely had the flu in our lives -- I have only had it twice. And the first time was before I had diabetes and thus was not advised that I should start getting the flu shot every year. And, it is absolutely your right to not get the Covid-19 shot, but in the places that are requiring it, then you like many in those places can leave the job and not have it.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member i am seizure free with cbd oil. cbd is less that the weed, but affective. before the cbd i was having a seizure every hour or so, with keto it is 1-3 seizures every other day, with cbd it's seizure free for a couple of months or when the cbd is out. mind you i tryed every meds and it didn't work. i am saying people are different so 1 person cure is the other person poison.

I work in the Cannabis industry in Denver and started having seizures in Jan of 2019. I worked for company which had the only RSO oil license in state. There are two main types of CBD. Isolate and full spectrum. We need isolate. The amount of isolate and RSO you need to replace meds is 10 times the amount I was doung. The type of marijuana used is specific too. Also when on Topamax(horrible) the meds block the cannabis. If I do too many mg of cannibis edibles it blocks my meds.(lamicdal) so my reccomendation is start small and use for pain/ mental well being. Please ask for more info if u like.
