I had no absents either, but theyre few and far between, 0-2 a month, i do have several auras a month though, 1-4 a day, 30-40 a month, so 3 days without is a big thing 🤣 so how are you complex partials… read more

I know marijuana has some medicinal qualities, but in the end smoking anything will pollute Your lungs, and it will make it harder to breathe. You already have epilepsy & seizures does anyone want to have a difficult time breathing. When I was in college a roommate smoked marijuna every day, He was not breathing as easily after a short period of time. I suggest You stop smoking.

As a retired OT who is epileptic and who never forgot cadaver lungs and brains in anatomy and physiology, I say no to cigarettes, marijuana and vaping. I also remember young psychiatric patients who complicated their attempted recoveries with cigarettes and marijuana.
Personally, I hate the brain damage I have that causes my epilepsy. With all due respect, I am not in the least attracted to impairing myself further.

One last thing thing, You put a very pretty picture for everyone to see. In the past I have noticed people that don’t like smoking started to pay less attention to the people that do.
