Bf Is A Reg Smoker, Developer Seizures This Year,

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by ashleyriah, Jul 25, 2014.

  1. Hey guys,

    My boyfriend has been smoking and toking since 16, and just turned 25 this year. In January we experienced his first grand mal, and then exactly 6 months and 3 days later, his second. The saving grace is he has an "aura" that it's hitting, and if I'm paying attention I can tell what's happening. My concern is that these "auras" don't always lead to a seizure. Last week he got very sick, started zoning out similar to a partial. And those feelings happen according to him once a month or more. So it's a crap shoot, and constant stress, or worry of triggering one.

    We did the whole ER song and dance after he turned blue on me the first time, but got no where other than ruling out a brain tumor or something crazy. He went to see a neurologist last week who immediately wanted to prescribe some Rx with TERRIBLE side effects without even doing a single test 👎. We're in the process of scheduling MRIs and EEGs to figure out if he's indeed epileptic, which I'm thinking is probably the case, but you know what happens when you assume.

    Either way the big thing is trying to get them down to gone. He is a regular dabber, and I'm strictly flower. We both have our rec's in CA, and buy from clubs.

    Are any of you guys regular (3-4 free day/1-2 work day) dabbers/smokers who have managed to get things under control with your seizures?

    Both seizures happened in the morning/noon (12-1pm). He works nights til midnight so doesn't wake up til 10am. So both times he had only been up a bit. He hadn't smoked or dabbed either morning. - For any of you thinking dabbing could be the problem.

    Any input, comments, suggestions, ANYTHING is helpful and appreciated.

    We're both drained from the whole thing and trying to find an alternative to Rx that won't turn his legs into sausages 🙈
     
  2. whatever the problem is could or could not be related to weed. just go find a good doctor you can afford, and get to the root of the problem. this will ensure piece of mind for you and him.

    If it wasn't what he already tried, suggest he speak to a doctor about Trileptal. Low occurrence of side effects. Pretty much the worst/most prevalent one is tiredness. It's one of the most widely prescribed (and most effective) prescription treatments for seizures.
     
  4. Try an oil with higher CBD. Tell him no caffeine, no alcohol, no cigarettes, lower carbs, lower sugar and lower gluten.

    He must try to get sleep, good sleep. Try to remain calm, working probably isn't the best idea until you figure out what's going on.

    Also he may have epilepsy but he's not epileptic, a lot of people get annoyed with that term.

    Talk to DirtyDingus he knows a lo.

    So do I, I've been dealing with seizures and epilepsy since December
