Can we get some info on catamenial epilepsy? Or seizures that seem to be leaning towards drug-resistant?
What is your opinion on Charlottes Web oil?
can you talk about the effects of seizures on the brain. i.e. do they damage the brain. Do seizures increase the occurrence of seizures. Do uncontrolled seizures increase the risk of SUDEP?
Have you used Charlottes Web oil? I hear a lot of good about it for some. Others (like my daughter) would probably need the whole indica plant oil. Living in a state that does not allow it is very hard.
conversations with doctors go no where anymore.
