I’m writing a paper and I’d appreciate so help getting some definite answers. For example, like what are some of the symptoms that overlap? Why do they assume epilepsy and not narcolepsy?

My partner was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. After witnessing all three of his seizures I’m pretty scared. He also has sleep apnea which is the main cause of his epilepsy. At this point, I’m too scared to sleep. Considering he had his seizures in his sleep and he always stops breathing and the twitching I’m so terrified. How do I cope with this. I haven’t slept in weeks. I know he gets annoyed with my constant worry so could someone please help me?

Why am I having random dizzy spells on and off?




I have quick dizzy spells and drowsiness on and off like a light switch. It happens most of the time in the beginning of the month. I am 19 going on 20 soon and I have had a history of Epilepsy and I have been off meds for a while without a bad seizure. So I am wondering if it has something to do with being off the meds, what I eat, lack of sleep, or low blood pressure (which I have). Any ideas what it could be?

I have tumors on my brain that bleed every now and then, and they cause me to have seizures(epilepsy). Could marijuana effect me in anyway because of this? After i did it i have trouble with tunnel vision and when i lay on my back for a couple minutes i get this weird tingling sensation and i won’t be able to move my body. Like when i get these feelings i know somethings wrong but i can’t move. Does anyone know what that could be? Or could marijuana have something to do with that?

Is sudden drowsiness a form of epilepsy?




When I go from a bright place to a dark place, I get extremely drowsy, like I’m going to pass out. Sometimes, this is accompanied by dizziness and a feeling of fainting. My doctor checked various viruses, my thyroid, and blood sugar, so all of that is ok. But, the idea came to me when I saw somebody taking pictures. The flash made me think this might be epilepsy. Is it?

Why do people hate on Marijuana so bad?




"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." -George Washington
"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." – Thomas Jefferson

Now if two of our founding fathers supported it, and our country was built off of there outlooks then why in the world do we outlaw it now? Well I guess the constitution is pretty much out of the picture…soo no surprises there.

Just to list some of the medicinal properties of this so called " drug-plant"

Its use for Anorexia, Asthma, Nausea, Pain, Peptic Ulcer, Alcoholism, Glaucoma, Epilepsy, Depression, Migraine, Anxiety, Inflammation,Hypertension, Insomnia, Cancer Interestingly, relief of many of the symptoms marijuana was used for in these illnesses are many of the same symptoms that have been proven in modern research. This should not be surprising unless we want to assume that all of the experience of thousands of years did not have some factual basis.

As for killing brain cells.. false check this link out http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3475#12

Anyone ever heard of MRSA? The only natural and reliable cure left on the planet is THC oil, The antibiotics used have to be constantly morphed and changed, because the virus is constantly evolving. Weed on the other hand stays the same.

SOO long story shot, everyone who hates on it and says that people who do smoke are nothing but ignorant and don’t truly know any facts.
Well here in California its legal it has been for medical patients for years and were voting again to make it legal in November.

So no its not really illegal. Plus its WAY less harmfull than alcohol and that IS legal. Humm, whats wrong with this picture.

How many people a year die from alcohol?
And how many die from a pot overdose?
Yeah that’s what I though.
