Yes and I use it everyday 🙂
Yes. It has now become legal in my state, so the card is not necessary, but before that, my epileptologist authorized my card. I have a congenital cavernous angioma in my RTL. According to him I should have shown symptoms and been diagnosed before I was 30 y/o. I was diagnosed at 62 y/o, with symptoms starting only a few years before.
I admitted to being a long-time heavy cannabis user, and he is of the opinion that my heavy use (since I was 16 y/o) likely kept me seizure-free until the malformation leaked a little blood, leaving a scar, which he considers as the likely focal point of my seizures. He put me on Epidiolex along with Lamictal, and I've been seizure-free since 2019.
At diagnosis he insisted I abstain from alcohol entirely.
Me - "Not even one drink?"
Him - "Smoke a joint instead."
Me, gleefully -"You're my hero."
I'm a child of the '60's and I never thought I'd see the day. LOL
