OK so I've read and youtubed until I'm totally brain fogged with information overload. I've seen the stories in the daily mail about the support CBD oils are getting from so many people. I've read the amazing stories of CBD oils and their possible miracles (not really miracles but definately better possible solutions) and I've messaged and chatted to people all over the world to find out their experiences, get their tips and advice and I've decided it's definately time to give this stuff a real go and slowly get off my meds. Please if you are reading this don't take it as medical advice, I am in no way a medical person, I'm definately in no way academic, so much so that I've been sending things to my brother who is much more academic than I would ever be to get his thoughts, he read, laughed and told me he always told me that smoking a joint was good for you! He then told me he used to give it to our Dad!!!!!!! But really, the information is overloading about what strains to take, what product to use and what to avoid.
I hope I've found 3 companies that seem to be brilliant and incredibly helpful. I am putting some links below of some of the incredible stories that have brought me to tears and given me hope that I can be myself again

The companies I've decided to use which have amazing reviews and are so helpful are below.

Day 1 one spray at about 11am, no idea why I took it at that time although I do know it should be taken about 2 hours away from the anti seizure meds. I have read just about everywhere that the way to take this is to put the drop (or spray) under your tongue and hold it there for 2 minutes. It tastes urgh but it's only for 2 minutes and it's a small price to pay so I'm not worried about that. There are apparently very good reasons for holding the oil under the tongue, it allows the active ingredients of CBD oil to be directly absorbed through the mucous membrane in the mouth. There are lots of capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, under the tongue which transfer directly into the bloodstream. When the CBD is absorbed under the tongue, it bypasses the digestive system and processing of the liver; therefore, the effects of CBD oil are not decreased by digestion. Sublingual application allows CBD to quickly enter the bloodstream and interact with the endocannabinoid system. I feel great, energy has picked up about 20 minutes after I took it. I'm not hungry :)
Day 2 1 spray again at about 11amish I am feeling great again. I really do have that energy and my sight seems to be feeling brighter, not in a weird spaced out way but in a brain fog clearing way
Day 3 1 spray again at about 11ish, I can definately feel as though the brain fog is lifting for a few hours during the day, I am feeling normal. Not for the whole time I still have to sleep but it's absolutely giving me more good energy.
Day 4 1 spray again, OK energy levels have increased. Done 2 workouts, walked for an hour and a half, most of that time listening to my Spanish (getting the grey matter back to work with some language). The brain fog for a chunk of the day is clear and I am for those few hours normal again.
Day 5 Oops overdid it yesterday and then last night I stayed up too late youtubing videos of studies on this stuff and it's results, it's fascinating and exciting. I've woken up shattered and with a banging headache,. I've taken a second spray today at about 5pmish, the information says the results last about 9 hours and that eventually I should be taking 1 or 2 sprays 3 times a day for the best effects. Lazy day today I think, when will I ever learn to take things gently?!
Day 6 2 sprays 1 first thing in the morning when I wake up and a 2nd at 4.30ish. I've been great today, Been for a nice walk (rather than a route march) done a good workout (just one, not two). Brain is feeling clear and I feel like I'm starting to remember normal stuff.
Day 7 2 sprays again, had a great nights sleep and woken up feeling refreshed. This stuff and the vitamin b are definately working, this cannot be a fluke. Oh I am so happy I could cry again. I can't believe that I am doing this to myself and I cannot believe that one week in of the CBD and I am feeling like this is going to work. This is really the first time since this all started that I am able to look forward and see a healthy and more normal future. Excuse me while I shed a few happy tears again. (now I'm going to be honest here, I wrote this last night before I went to bed, and I really did wake up feeling refreshed :) )
I've done more reading on my seizures too, both types, the dizzy spells are petit mal and one of the things of these is a feeling of deja vu, well strangely this happens and I honestly just thought it was me being weird, nope that's petit mal and also keppra!!!
I don't really want to read too much on the gran mal, they are scary and the information tells you that people die from them, I don't want to know!
Also CPRS complex regional pain syndrome (I don't have the pain) but this is another name for brain fog. Symptoms, poor memory and lack of concentration. Hahaha I have those by the bucket loads
So just by simply getting off the chemicals and replacing them with a vitamin b and a few drops of CBD a day I could clear all of this lot up. Seems like a potential miracle or too good to be true, I think I'd rather stick with the miracle thoughts for now while I can still get away with it :)
I've gone back through some of my first posts about natural foods and spices, so my bedtime drink has gone back to camomile tea with turmeric and cinnamon. My coconut oil with jasmine and frankincense is not only my nightly face cream it's only massaged into my dry scalp twice a week. It feels just lovely to have a head massage done by me, that should help with stopping the tumour regrow (coconut oil is supposed to shrink them), help with the sleep, not that I really have any trouble with that (the jasmine) and help with the brain function (thanks to frankincense).
I wonder if any of this natural magic will improve my eyesight and hearing??? Miracles can happen and what a learning curve this is.
Just before I finish off for the week, every time I switch on the TV it seems to be covering something to do with brain tumours, seizures or CBD. I feel like I'm being watched over or given some sort of warning or talk! What is going on in the world???
Happy Monday everyone :)
Interesting post, glad it seems to be working for you
