Agraphia and Anomia Resulting from Epilepsy
They both can happen as a result of epilepsy. Agraphia is problems writing what you want to say you could write something else. Anomia is problems speaking because you can't find the word you want to use. I use synonyms and spell check There are varying degrees some worse than others. One question I have is are they like altheimers and dementia where they progress? My seizures came from a lesion on left temporal lobe. The agraphia and anomia come from the focal area but they still are affected. I'm only 43. Is anyone else going through this condition. One website I've found helpful is WebMD.com/agraphia and agraphia.com

Thanks for your interesting post, my 34 year old son also suffers from seizures and has a diminishing executive skills. If I ask, how much CBD do you take daily and what form is it in?
Do you take any THC with the CBD?

1 ReactionHi @jamessr Good Morning
My pleasure to share experiences with this group. As soon as I have completed my executive function rehab, I will share it with the group. What is your son doing to improve his executive functions? Has he tried rehab?
I take medical cannabis 100% CBD (no THC or other cannabis components). The one I take is from Farma USA, 200 mg, in oil form. I take 0,3 ml in the morning and 0,4 ml in the evening. As I mentioned, I control my seizures also with hatha yoga (stress and anxiety are among my main seizure triggers) and a gluten-free diet.
All the best to your son.
Wishing all in this group a beautiful day 🙂
